I’m Jennifer — a Scottish English teacher living "la dolce vita" in Italy and bringing over 25 years of experience to every lesson. If you want energy, motivation, and real progress, you’re in the right place.
I’ve been teaching English since 2000 and have helped students of all ages grow in confidence, improve fluency, and reach their goals. I also have over 20 years of experience as a Cambridge Speaking Examiner, giving me deep insight into how Cambridge, IELTS, and Trinity exams work — and how to help you succeed.
My lessons are lively, interactive, and tailored to your needs. I focus on what you want to achieve and create a learning experience that keeps you engaged, motivated, and moving forward.
Kids love learning with me because I create a warm, friendly atmosphere from the very first minute. With games, songs, stories, and interactive activities, they learn naturally while building strong communication skills. I also prepare children for Cambridge exams with confidence‑boosting techniques that work.
Whether you want to speak more fluently, expand your vocabulary, or feel confident using English in real life, I’ll guide you step by step with the right lessons just for you.
Let’s make English exciting, effective, and part of your everyday life!My teaching material

Darina has no problem with English at school, she is a confident English speaker. She started as an absolute beginner and now it's an upper-intermediate level that she and Jennifer are working at. This is all thanks to regular lessons with Jennifer. She is a highly professional teacher and always well prepared for lessons.

Jennifer‘s class is really interesting and effective. She leaves writing homework for my son and gives comments during class. Oral communication is necessary for young learner. My son has benefited from the class a lot. Strongly recommend and will keep going~

Her great experience in teaching English is reflected in her deep knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, as well as her ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner. Additionally, she corrects pronunciation errors in real time, which boosts speaking confidence. Her classes at B1 and B2 levels are well-structured, using various materials and books. I highly recommend her classes to those who wish to improve their English.
