Struggling with IELTS, KET, or PET? I’m a native British English teacher with 10+ years of experience helping students ace these exams—and enjoy the process! My background in business and higher education means I teach practical, real-world English, whether you need high scores or confident conversations.
Having taught and volunteered across Ecuador, Asia, Guyana, and Thailand, I adapt lessons to your culture and goals. Let’s make English feel alive—book a trial and see the difference!Me as a Teacher
As a TESOL/TEFL-certified educator with Bachelor's degrees in both Education and the Principles and Methods of Language (minoring in TESOL), I bring a strong, research-backed understanding of how language is best learned and taught. My comprehensive training allows me to create effective, engaging lessons tailored to student needs. I have a deep passion for the English language's rich history and culture, which I weave into our discussions to make learning vibrant and relevant. I'm always eager to explore a wide range of topics, fostering both language skills and critical thinking. My lessons & teaching style
I lead engaging conversation classes that centre around everyday topics, providing a relaxed atmosphere for effective learning. If you have specific subjects in mind, we can certainly delve into those as well. I’m dedicated to helping you improve your grammar and pronunciation, ensuring that our sessions are both comfortable and productive.My teaching material
