CURRENTLY ON MATERNITY LEAVE. BACK IN JUNE :)
I’m an experienced ESL teacher and trained hypnotherapist with a background in Linguistics, psychology, language acquisition, CELTA, DELTA, and a diploma in Solution Focused Hypnotherapy. I combine mindset coaching with expert language mentoring to help you speak clearly, confidently, and with ease. If you’ve struggled with overthinking, nerves, or feeling stuck, my sessions offer a calm, personalised space to help you find your authentic voice in English.Me as a Teacher
Using a unique combined approach language coaching with hypnotherapy, I address not only the areas of English you need to improve but also the psychological barriers that may hinder your progress. This fusion facilitates deeper learning, enhances memory retention, and builds unwavering confidence in your language abilities. You will find that through this method, not only do you notice improvement in your skills, but you are more comfortable in areas you once found difficult or stressful such as speaking in a group, giving presentations or interviews.My lessons & teaching style
This is more than just language learning — it’s fluency mentoring rooted in mindset, confidence, and neuroscience. I combine 15+ years of ESL teaching with hypnotherapy tools to help you speak naturally, think clearly in English, and overcome mental blocks. Lessons are fully personalised, calm, and practical — with focused language work, mindset strategies, and honest feedback. If you're looking for a more holistic, high-level approach to speaking with ease and confidence, I'm the teacher for you.My teaching material

Lizzy is amazing!! Time flies so fast when I’m with her. It’s hard for me to express myself in English, but Lizzy can always get what I want to say and teach me how to say it. Her encouragement means a lot to me. Can’t wait to see her in the next class😊

Elizabeth is the perfect tutor. It is such a pleasure to take lessons with her. She always seeks understanding and rapport, is attentive to detail, friendly and incredibly dedicated to homework. So many useful materials, interesting assignments, cards. I've been lucky.
