Hi everyone!
I'm a professional actor from London with lots of experience on stage and on screen. I can help you to perfect your English, your confidence in speaking the language and get rid of your accent so that you sound truly English!
My style is casual, conversation-focused and practical. I create an enjoyable environment for you to grow and develop. We can discuss a range of topics from movies, current affairs, hobbies, travel, history, etc using both audio and video to challenge your thinking and increase your vocabulary. I like to push and motivate students so in every lesson, you will improve and learn so much! :)

Me as a Teacher
I have a BA in Acting from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Confidence, articulation and good expression are my areas of expertise.
You'll receive lots of positivity and encouragement in class to get you speaking more confidently without hesitation or second-guessing yourself.
Because I travel a lot, I am always helping others improve their English, especially pronunciation and accent.
I have also lived in Paris, Istanbul, Sheffield, Newcastle and Glasgow and visited more than 30 countries, often as a solo traveller.
Encouraging and motivating others to get better is what I love to do.
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is interactive, encouraging and engaging.
We will work from the level you are at and identify your strengthens and areas of improvement.
No matter where you are or where you want to be, I can help you feel more confident on your journey and get you the results you seek.

I like working on my pronunciation with Akuc. She accompanies all her explanations with an example of how to pronounce. Working on pronunciation is not easy and she has the patience and interest in the student's progress to make it fun and interesting. Thank you! And I look forward to the next lessons

I love our classes! Akuc is always attentive, friendly and gentle. She's always trying to find the best approach to help with my exact request. I get to talk a lot and I feel that I'm improving with each class. Thank you!

She's a genuine treasure. I'm so glad I discovered Akuc on italki. Each class is an intense, high-energy sparring session for your brain, with Akuc as your best coach. By the end, you feel tired, proud, and happy. I’m looking forward to the next class.
