Hello! I’m Cynthia, an English teacher from Canada with over ten years of experience helping students of all ages and levels achieve their language goals.
I specialize in exam preparation (IELTS, Cambridge, and more), General English, and Young Learners, combining a communicative approach with clear, structured lessons. My priority is to help you feel confident using English in real-life situations—whether for travel, study, work, or test success.
With a degree in English and Psychology, a law background, and a TEFL certificate, I bring both linguistic expertise and an understanding of how people learn best. As a language learner myself, I know the challenges you face and how to guide youMe as a Teacher
Lessons made just for you – I’ll adapt every class to your goals, interests, and learning style.
Materials you enjoy – From textbooks to articles, and videos, I’ll choose resources that suit your level and keep you engaged.
Clear, practical practice – We’ll work on pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary in ways that help you use English naturally and confidently.
Encouragement at every step – I’ll support you with positive feedback, patience, and motivation so you feel comfortable experimenting with the language.
To get the most out of our lessons, you should come prepared to ask questions and share your ideas. Learning English is a team effort. My lessons & teaching style
My classes are designed to be a relaxed, engaging space where you can expand your conversational skills and vocabulary while building confidence in using English. I create a safe and comfortable environment where you can practice speaking freely on topics that matter to you.
As someone who loves reading and writing, I enjoy sharing that passion with my students. To help you improve your grammar, fluency, and self-expression, I often assign writing homework, which we review together in class.My teaching material

Cynthia, thank you a lot for the lesson! I’m very happy to have found you as a teacher. I think it might not always be easy to teach foreigners your native language but you’re brilliant at it :) And thank you so much for the presentation about Canada. I’ve learnt a lot from it :)

Синтия, конечно, очень крутая! Лучший преподаватель, с которым мне удалось позаниматься. Она готовится к каждому уроку, и поэтому все проходит как нельзя лучше. А ещё она сказала, что кто-то сильно волнуется заниматься с ней. Должен сказать, что она очень добрая и совсем не кусается
