About Me
italki teacher since Jul 18, 2019InterestsFilms & TV SeriesMusicTravelFoodScience
As a highly skilled and experienced educator, I have spent over a decade teaching English as a private tutor and consulting teacher. With a diverse background spanning 13 years in business and higher education, I bring a well-rounded perspective that enables me to tailor lessons to students of varying proficiency levels and objectives—whether exam preparation (IELTS/KET/PET) or conversational fluency.
My international experience, including volunteer work in Ecuador, Asia, Guyana, and Thailand, has strengthened my adaptability and cross-cultural communication skills. Having lived and worked in global hubs such as London and beyond, I integrate real-world context into language learning forMe 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
