I’m Vanessa, an English tutor with a background in philosophy and a passion for language and human connection. 📚
Studying philosophy taught me how powerful words really are. They don’t just help us communicate, they shape how we share ideas, understand others, and understand the world. 🌿
For me, teaching English isn’t just about grammar or pronunciation (though we’ll definitely work on those!). It’s about helping you find your voice in English, to speak confidently, express yourself clearly, and connect more deeply with the people and world around you.
Me as a Teacher
As someone who learned English from scratch, I understand how difficult and frustrating it can feel at times. That’s why my lessons are designed to guide you through that process step by step. My lessons are designed to support you through that process. With structure, encouragement, and genuine care.🌿
My lessons & teaching style
I plan each lesson around your individual learning needs and the areas you want to improve most. Before or during our first lessons, we’ll talk about your goals and what kind of practice helps you learn best. From there, I’ll create a plan that stays flexible (We can adjust it as you make progress or discover new interests).
I’m also flexible with my calendar, so if there’s a certain day or time that isn’t currently available on my schedule, feel free to message me.
