I have been teaching English language since 2021, including online to children and adults from China, Japan and across Europe.
I have the internationally recognised Cambridge CELTA qualification (Pass A) in English language teaching, plus a NILE Certificate (with distinction) in Teaching English for Academic Purposes (TEAP). I also have a BA, MSc and PhD in social sciences.
Me as a Teacher
I love helping learners of English make real progress and feel more confident.
I speak British English, and I have an appreciation of other varieties of English, sometimes referred to as ‘Global Englishes’, as well as the use of English as a ‘lingua franca’ or common language.
My lessons & teaching style
I personalise lessons to your specific needs, and I focus on helping you use the English language in authentic ways that meet your individual goals.
I teach everything from everyday communication and English for holidays to professional communication and academic English.
