I'm very energetic, fun, and friendly. I know what it’s like to learn a new language, so I understand the moments when you may feel stuck, the excitement when something finally clicks, and how important it is to feel supported along the way. Therefore, keeping you engaged (and consistent!) is my top priority.
I am also very organized. I’ll also keep track of your progress, send personalized feedback, and give you homework so you can keep improving between sessions. My goal is to make English feel fun, motivating, and simple. You’ll stay challenged, supported, and excited to learn every step of the way. 😊 My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are all about you and how you learn best! They are built around your goals, interests, and learning style, whether that’s speaking, listening, reading, or a mix 🎯. Each class includes fun discussions and interactive activities that will help you feel confident learning (and USING) English.
After each lesson, I’ll send you a notes and practice tasks based on what we covered. Your homework may include speaking, listening, journaling, reading, grammar, or vocab activities to help you grow between classes.

Lessons cancelled within 24 hours of the start time will be refunded 50% of the lesson price.My teaching material

Cece is truly an amazing tutor. She notices exactly what I need to improve, even the things I’m not aware of and guides me in a way that really improves my speaking. I can feel her passion and positive energy in every lesson, which makes the class so fun and motivating. I’m confident that if I continue learning with Cece, my speaking skills will keep improving. I’m really grateful for her teaching.
I 100% recommend Cece to anyone who wants to improve their English. She’s absolutely worth it :)
