About Me
italki teacher since Jan 10, 2026InterestsHistoryReadingSports & FitnessTravelBusiness & Finance
Hello! 😊 I’m British and live in London, and I genuinely love languages. I’m learning Spanish myself, so I know exactly what it’s like to be a student and to build confidence step by step. My goal is to create relaxed, supportive lessons where you feel comfortable speaking and experimenting with English.
Outside lessons, I enjoy reading and music, and I’m a big football fan too. These interests often turn into fun, natural conversation topics and help keep classes friendly, engaging, and enjoyable.
I have experience teaching in international classrooms and online. I taught at a high school in China and later worked as an online teacher with learners of many levels. I specialise in helping B2+ students improve fluency and accuracy, while also teaching all levels.
My teaching style combines structure with flexibility. Although I teach according to a structured plan that works for learners at different levels, I actively use student feedback to prioritise key areas and adapt lessons to what each learner needs most.My teaching material
