I’m a certified TEFL tutor with a strong academic background in psychology and communication science. I’m passionate about helping students learn in ways that make sense to them—whether they’re building language skills, preparing for exams, or gaining confidence in communication. I can work with learners of all ages and levels, and I love creating a supportive, engaging space where students feel comfortable making progress.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I’m patient, encouraging, and adaptable. I believe every student learns differently, so I take the time to understand their goals, strengths, and challenges. My background in psychology helps me support motivation and focus, while my communication training allows me to explain concepts clearly. I aim to make each lesson productive, positive, and personalized to the learner’s needs. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are interactive, personalized, and focused on real progress. I use a mix of conversation, practical exercises, and structured materials based on each student’s goals. Whether we’re working on grammar, speaking, writing, or test prep, I always create a relaxed, supportive environment. I adapt my teaching style to suit each learner—visual, auditory, or hands-on—to make lessons both effective and enjoyable.My teaching material

I explained how I best learn and right away she tailored the lesson to me! Within the first 15mins I learned tenses that I had been struggling with when trying to construct a sentence. Very good lesson! Looking forward to more
