Hello! My name is Demi, I am a passionate language educator with over 10 years of experience teaching languages and a lifelong learner of multiple languages. My background in philosophy has shaped my unique approach to language learning—one that values reflection, self-discovery, and deep understanding. In addition to teaching, I am a dedicated actor, and I incorporate creativity and theatrical techniques into my lessons to make learning dynamic, interactive, and fun. This method helps students build confidence, spontaneity, and authentic communication skills. I’m excited to guide you on your language journey, helping you overcome challenges and unlock your full potential.

Me as a Teacher
I am passionate about creating a dynamic, supportive learning environment where every student feels inspired to explore languages through creative, interactive methods. By integrating theater and storytelling, I encourage active participation, build confidence, and deepen cultural understanding. My goal is to help students master language skills and express themselves clearly and authentically. I believe learning should be enjoyable, meaningful, and empowering—making each class an opportunity for both linguistic and personal growth.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are carefully crafted to be engaging, immersive, and inspiring, thoughtfully integrating improvisation, surrealism, and theatrical exercises to foster creativity, critical thinking, and intellectual curiosity. I regard language as a living, poetic medium through which we interpret, experience, and articulate our world in a meaningful and profound way. In each session, I guide students in expressing their thoughts with clarity, precision, and originality, promoting authentic, confident, and effective communication. This supportive and nurturing approach cultivates both linguistic proficiency and a deep, personal connection to language and its expressive power.

Not only a language lesson, but a dive into the marvel of language learning! Demi's lessons are personalised on yourself as a learner and on your interests, so that the learning process becomes really effective and nourishing for your mind and language skills :)

This kind of class I like the most. I've had possibility to learn something new as well as to have a lot of reflections about a life and my some experiences. It's great when I can analyze not only the grammar structures but also philosophic and socjologic topics. This kind of classes develop me on many areas :) Thank you very much.

It was a great class! Before the class I was a bit nervous because I feared that I couldn't say much, but Demi managed to get me talking and gain confidence to use what I know. I learnt some very useful words and structures today, which I can immediately put into practice. Demi speaks clearly and just in the right speed, so I could understand him perfectly and enjoy our talk. Thanks a lot, Demi! See you soon!

Demi had a calming presence during my first lesson. He spoke at the pace I requested and communicated concepts clearly, helping me stay engaged and learn effectively. I will continue taking lessons from Demi!
