Hello, I’m Alix, a highly qualified and experienced English teacher from the UK with a Cambridge CELTA, a UK bachelor’s degree, and an IELTS certification. I have over 8 years of teaching experience, specializing in Business English, IELTS preparation, and advanced communication skills for professionals. Outside of teaching, my passions are travel, business, and wellness. Right now, I'm studying to become a yoga teacher and learning Japanese. I’ve taught and lived in different countries (China, Italy, Japan) so I know how challenging learning a new language can be. That’s why I love creating lessons that help you feel confident, comfortable, and ready to use English in real world settings.
Me as a Teacher
I specialize in Business English, IELTS, and advanced communication skills, helping professionals and students. In my lessons, you’ll have plenty of opportunities to speak, ask questions, and practice. I focus on making our sessions relaxed and engaging, so you can meet your goals and improve your skills in a way that is fun and effective. I don't just follow a textbook, I design each lesson to suit your needs and use real-life materials like videos and podcasts to keep things fresh, interesting, and relevant. I create a supportive, professional learning environment for serious learners who want measurable results.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are all about you: your goals, interests, and learning style. Whether you want to sound more natural in conversations, prepare for an exam such as IELTS, or improve your business English for work, I’ll tailor each lesson to fit your needs. We’ll use real-life topics, interactive activities, and engaging discussions to build your confidence step by step. Most importantly, I’ll support you every step of the way so that improving your English feels easy, not stressful. Expect a calm, professional atmosphere with lessons designed for serious learners who value expert guidance.
