I have over 7 years of experience teaching English online and face-to-face to children and adults, in Vietnam, India, and Mexico, across public and private schools. I hold a TEFL, Kids ESL, and IELTS Teacher certification, plus a degree in Business & Enterprise Management.
I specialise in teaching kids through games, songs, and interactive activities, while also preparing adults for Business English and IELTS. My teaching style is relaxed, friendly, and adaptable, supported by my background as a yoga teacher, which brings patience, creativity, and an open mind to every lesson.My lessons & teaching style
My classes are fun, informative, and focused on helping you enjoy learning while building real confidence in your English skills. I believe learning a language should be enjoyable and effective, and with consistent practice, you will make great progress. I use a wide range of engaging resources and materials to support each lesson.
Together, we’ll assess your goals and find a learning style that suits you best. I provide clear feedback, gentle corrections, encouragement, and support throughout your journey. I’m also happy to offer homework, extra tasks, and flexible lesson plans to match your needs.My teaching material

Already a few months my son has lessons with Alana. The classes are very interactive and interesting, Alana knows how to build the communication with children, how to make the lessons active. Maxim is always looking forward to having English with Alana. Thank you for your support and creativity during the lessons 😇

Another wonderful lesson with Alana. We managed to talk about several topics and we did the ielts mock test together. Alana was really supportive and patient all over the test and did an amazing job. Also, I received feedback I need to improve my skills. There's no doubt that Alana truly deserves to be "a professional" teacher on our website. I'm really satisfied with her work and I regret nothing! May God bless you, Alana!

I really enjoy having lessons with Alana. We have a lot of speaking in the lessons. Alana provides a variety of content and resources based on my needs. I can choose topics that are interesting and close to me. As well we take some grammar topics which are not presented in a boring way. Lessons with Alana help me to develop my confidence in English. She is a really great teacher. Highly recommend!
