Hello! I’m Claudia, a UK-born teacher living in the Dominican Republic with Polish roots, specialising in helping intermediate-advanced adults master English confidently. With 10+ years of experience and a CELTA certification, I use my fluency in Polish and Spanish to pinpoint your errors—so you progress faster. But don’t worry: class is 100% in English and tailored to your goals.Me as a Teacher
CELTA-qualified English teacher with over a decade of experience teaching adults in the Middle East, Europe and online.
I am understanding and patient with my students, creating an safe atmosphere in which mistakes are not only tolerated but encouraged. My lessons & teaching style
I tailor my classes to your needs! Our first session will explore what they are so we can make a plan together.
I strongly believe the best way to improve English skills is to practice with a native English speaker like me, as I focus on fluency and speaking skills in the class, correct their spoken grammar mistakes and much more!
I always set homework and encourage learning outside of the sessions. This could be writing, listening or reading practice, depending on your needs.My teaching material

Dear Claudia, thank you for one more PTE class. I would like to use a chance and thank you for your professional and attentive way of PTE exam preparation. It is really hard to find a tutor who can help with PTE classes and who would understand the exam format, so we are happy that we found you! Because it is not only about English, it is about positive changes in life, achieving your goals and dreams.
