With 10+ years’ experience—including online teaching since 2018—I’ve helped teens worldwide achieve passing scores through structured, confidence-building lessons.

My creations
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, I am committed, patient, and deeply invested in my students’ success. In addition to more than ten years of professional teaching experience, I have raised successful teenagers myself, which has given me a strong understanding of how adolescents learn, grow in confidence, and respond to encouragement combined with clear expectations.
I believe in lifelong learning and continuous professional development. After earning my Master’s degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages, I continued strengthening my expertise by completing advanced Cambridge training, including the Teaching Knowledge Test (TKT), a TESOL certification, and specialized coursework focused on prep
My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style is supportive, structured, and results-oriented. I design engaging lessons that are clear and focused, so you can see consistent progress each week. Whether you need structured writing practice or speaking practice under exam-like conditions, I will guide you patiently and thoughtfully every step of the way.
I also work closely with parents when needed, helping to define clear goals, providing regular feedback on progress, and suggesting optional at-home practice to further support improvement between lessons.
