9️⃣ Years Experience | 📚 CELPIP / IELTS Certified 📃 As a CELPIP™ and IELTS™ certified teacher with 9 years of experience, I specialize in helping students master Canadian English for tests, work, or daily life. Born in Toronto and raised in Newfoundland, I bring firsthand knowledge of Canada’s dialects and cultural differences—perfect for learners aiming for fluency with a local touch. When I’m not teaching, you’ll find me reading about history, cooking food, or sipping specialty coffee. My love for language and culture extends beyond the classroom—let’s make your English journey as engaging as we can! Learning Template: rb.gy/l1zmvc My Goal My aim is to help you practice English as much as you need. I believe a great teacher listens carefully, so I’ll focus on understanding your strengths and areas for improvement. Unlike many native speakers who may overlook mistakes, I’ll gently correct errors to help you grow and refine your skills. My Career After completing my education, I worked in various roles in Canada, including construction, cleaning, and five years as a cook. In 2016, I began teaching English after getting married. With 8 years of experience on Italki, I’ve developed the skills to effectively support your English learning journey. I provide specialized lessons for the CELPIP™ English language test. As a certified IELTS™ coach, I’ll equip you with the strategies, practice, and insights needed to achieve your target score. Let’s work together to reach your goals!

Sanne has been my English teacher for a long time, and during this period I’ve grown significantly, not only in speaking, but also in how I structure ideas and communicate clearly. Since my main goal is to improve my business English, he tailored every session to that focus. Sanne is calm, thoughtful, and genuinely curious. He pays attention to my progress, adapts the lessons to my goals, and always creates a comfortable environment to learn. I’ve felt real, consistent improvement thanks to his approach, and I highly recommend working with him.
