Hi, I’m Natalia, an experienced ESL teacher with a Master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages. I have lived and worked in eight countries, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and communication styles. With over 15 years of teaching experience, I am passionate about helping students gain confidence, enjoy learning English, and achieve their personal language goals. I have also completed a course in Autism, which has helped me better understand neurodiverse learners and create more inclusive and meaningful lessons. Outside teaching, I enjoy meditation, hiking, sports, healthy eating, and spending time in nature.

Me as a Teacher

I create friendly, supportive, and engaging lessons tailored to each student’s needs. My approach is interactive and communicative, encouraging students to speak, listen, read, and write confidently in real-life situations. I focus on building both language skills and self-confidence, so learning feels natural, motivating, and enjoyable.

My lessons & teaching style

In my lessons, you can expect practical activities, games, and real-world scenarios that make learning English fun and effective. I integrate vocabulary, grammar, listening, speaking, and reading practice in ways that are memorable and relevant. Each lesson is designed to challenge you just enough while keeping the process encouraging and positive. I aim for a personalized learning experience, helping each student progress at their own pace, celebrate achievements, and feel confident using English in everyday life.
