TAKING A SHORT BREAK FROM ITALKI - RETURNING JUNE 2026 - With over 10 years of experience teaching professionals and students, I combine phonetics expertise (Speech & Language Therapy trained) with real-world communication strategies.
I'm a qualified, experienced teacher with a background in both education and business. My lessons are professional, practical, and tailored to your goals.
✅ Polished British pronunciation – sound natural, confident, and fluent.
✅ IELTS Speaking & Writing – proven strategies for Band 7 and above.
✅ Business English – interviews, presentations, and cross-cultural confidence.
Let’s turn your goals into real progress!Me as a Teacher
I am friendly, enthusiastic, and positive. My goal is to help you make the most of your lesson and leave knowing more than when you started.
✅ I can help you prepare for your IELTS Speaking and Writing tests so you feel calm and confident on exam day.
✅ I can support you with job interviews, workplace presentations, or simply feeling confident when talking to international colleagues.
✅ I can help you expand your vocabulary and express yourself clearly and confidently in standard English.
✅ I enjoy working on accents and pronunciation. If you’d like, I can help you sound more British and develop smooth, natural English speech. My lessons & teaching style
I want you to get the most out of your class with me! 😊 My role is to teach, support, and guide you to reach your goals.
✅ I am a professional and experienced teacher who creates well-planned and organised classes tailored to your needs and goals.
✅ I use poetry, songs, texts (including Shakespeare), and media articles to make lessons engaging and interesting.

Mary is always well prepared and uses high-quality materials she creates herself. Her lessons are energetic, and she is always helpful and supportive, making sure no doubts remain. She also gives valuable tips for improvement, even outside of lessons. Her passion for language and phonetics really makes her lessons professional and enjoyable.

I have really enjoyed my lessons with Mary. She is extremely knowledgeable, and her lessons are always fun, engaging, and interactive, which makes learning enjoyable and motivating. I especially liked reading the poems! I now pay much more attention to my pronunciation and actively try to correct it thanks to her guidance. Thank you, Mary :)
