I speak French and Swedish (sometimes badly!) and love how language learning opens doors to new cultures and people. I’m TEFL Level 5 certified and really enjoy helping learners improve their English. I was born in the UK, so I speak both British and Irish English. My lessons are relaxed, supportive, and focused on your goals. I’ve been teaching on iTalki for around four years. I use a communicative approach focused on real conversation and practical language.

Whether you need to build fluency, expand your vocabulary, or just feel more comfortable in English, we’ll work at a pace that suits you.

My lessons are best suited for intermediate to advanced learners (B1...

Chris provided a relaxed atmosphere and encouraged me to practise giving my opinion throughout the lesson. He also pointed out certain areas which could be improved. Thanks, Chris
