About Me
italki teacher since Oct 4, 2021InterestsScienceTravelReadingHistoryFood
Hello! ¡Hola! 你好 สวัสดี Bonjour! 안녕하세요 I'm excited to meet you on Italki. I'm a native English speaker from Australia, now living in the beautiful Canary Islands of Spain.
I've taught English in Australia, France, and Spain, gaining diverse experiences. My teaching style is personalised to make learning enjoyable, whether you're a beginner or aiming for fluency.
I'm also learning Spanish, so I understand the ups and downs of language learning. Check out my teaching style and English tips on my Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theidiomlab/
Feel free to ask questions or book a trial lesson. Let's enjoy the language journey together! ¡Espero conocerte pronto! (Hope to meet you soon!)Me as a Teacher
I'm an experienced English teacher specialising in migrant, academic, and international English, both in-person and online. I hold a TESOL certificate and a Master of Applied Linguistics, ensuring a strong foundation in language teaching.
As a native Australian, my neutral accent benefits students migrating or travelling to Australia. I focus on local expressions and improving listening skills to the Australian accent.
Ready to enhance your English in a friendly and effective environment? Contact me with questions or to schedule a lesson. Let's embark on this language journey together! ¡Hasta pronto! (See you soon!)My lessons & teaching style
ADULTS only
My lessons are relaxed, fun and encouraging. I believe that the best way to learn a language is to enjoy using it.
I offer three different types of classes:
Grammar classes for students of all levels (A2-C2) which will focus on grammar using the four skills (reading, writing, speaking and listening). These are for students who really want to take their English to the next level
Conversation classes for students from B1-C2 who want to practice their speaking skill. I bring topics to discuss or you can suggest a subject if you like as well!

Sarah has a lot of patience, so I could share all I need for the class. She gave me some advice to improve my English, so I want to work hard.
I'm looking forward to our next class😃
