About Me

👋 Hi, I’m Lorna – a native English speaker from the UK 🇬🇧 and a certified teacher with a specialism in Business English.
🌍 I’ve been teaching for over 10 years in Europe, North America, and the South Pacific, and now work online from Madrid.
💬 I’ve helped hundreds of learners feel more confident and speak more naturally in real situations – whether for work, travel, or daily life.
🗣️ I work with many professionals on workplace communication, but I also support learners who want to improve general fluency, pronunciation, and everyday conversation. My lessons are always friendly, practical, and personalised to your goals.Me as a Teacher
🎓 I have a degree in English from the University of Exeter and I’m certified with both the CELTA and DELTA (Modules 1 & 3, specialising in Business English for 1:1 professionals online). I’ve worked with learners from all over the world and supported people in many different industries.
I really enjoy helping people, and I feel lucky to be able to do this as my job ❤️. I’m also learning Spanish, so I understand how challenging it can be to learn a language as an adult!
My focus is on helping students express themselves clearly, confidently, and in a way that feels natural – whether for work or daily life. My lessons & teaching style
📚 My lessons are practical, engaging, and designed to help you build confidence. I have a library of flexible courses we can follow together, covering topics like everyday conversation, pronunciation, general fluency, and work-related English.
Each lesson is personalised to your goals, and you’ll get clear feedback and tips you can use right away.
Whether you’re learning English for work or simply want to feel more fluent and confident in daily life, we’ll make sure you’re progressing in a way that feels useful and motivating.My teaching material

Great final class for the Business package! I feel I met all the objectives, and I’m truly grateful to Lorna for her guidance, support, and dedication throughout the course. In 2026, I might even take the plunge and prepare for the C2, and I hope to count on her for that journey as well. 🥰🥰🥰

I really enjoy Lorna’s classes because they are dynamic and creative. She is highly involved in the learning process and uses presentations and practical activities to simulate real-life situations, such as debating different topics and opinions, giving presentations, and performing more confidently in a professional work environment.
On a personal level, her classes have helped me feel much more confident and comfortable in my remote job at a U.S.-based company, especially since it is my first time working in English (I'm Spanish). In addition, she is genuinely a pleasure to work with and creates a positive, enjoyable class atmosphere that always leaves you in a good mood :)
Thanks, Lorna!
