About Me
italki teacher since Sep 24, 2018InterestsMusicTravelBusiness & FinanceSports & FitnessTech
Hi! I’m a UK native with a finance background (Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan, Bank of America). I also spent 5+ years in China studying Mandarin, so I understand the ups and downs of language learning.
I’m TEFL-qualified with certificates in Business English and Exam Preparation. I’ve helped many adult learners improve speaking, pass interviews and tests like IELTS and TOEFL, and build confidence in real-life and professional situations.
I’m patient, friendly and supportive, and keep lessons relaxed and enjoyable. I love spicy food, running, cycling and travelling.
Adults only.

If you feel anxious speaking – especially with native speakers – don’t worry. You’ll feel comfortable with me. Check my feedback!
Lessons are personalised, practical and confidence-focused, so you can use English effectively in the real world.
