*** SUMMER CALENDAR ***
During the school holidays in July and August my children keep me very busy! As a result I'll only be teaching on Fridays. I'll return to my usual schedule of Mondays and Tuesdays in September.
*********************************************************************************
Welcome to my page, please have a look around. I'm passionate about good teaching and great English!
Me as a Teacher
- I earned a master's level qualification called the Cambridge DELTA (Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in 2019.
- I earned my first certificate, Cambridge CELTA, and started teaching English in 2011.
- I've taught at universities in Chile and China, and at British Study Centres language school in Oxford, UK.
- I've been teaching on italki since 2022.
- I have a first class degree in International Relations and Spanish from the University of St Andrews.
Please note:
- My lessons are designed for adults.
- Please tell me more than 24 hours in advance if you need to reschedule a lesson.
My lessons & teaching style
I adapt my lessons to each student.
- Conversational English with targeted practice: in these lessons we start with a discussion topic and develop it according to your fluency level. During the lesson I offer feedback on areas where you can improve, including grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation, and we practise those areas.
- English for a specific goal: some students have a presentation to prepare, exam to take, or a textbook they want to complete. In these lessons I work with you according to your specific needs.
Whatever you're looking for, please discuss it with me and we will try to arrange a lesson that suits you.

It is interesting and not less edifying from a language viewpoint to have such a lovely conversation on different topics because learning a language is not only a linguistic exercise but at the same time a way of thinking and perception by another person with a different cultural background. Thank you for your effort, Grace!

Grace is a very helpful and supportive teacher. She can lead you from familiar topic to wider themes, focusing on specific aspects of the language and cultural reflections. She also gave me excellent tips to improve my skills. I definitely recommend her lessons!

Today we work on describing past experiences, the most challenging is to organise the train of your thoughts correctly not to mention the needed extended vocabulary. As always thanks for helping, Grace!

I had several teachers on Italki but in my opinion Grace i the best of them. First she is very nice, open and smiling person. Grace is always prepared for lessons and focused on the student. I'm just booking a package of lessons.
