Hello everyone, Ciao a tutti, 大家好, γεια σε όλους, Salve Omnes! Up until recently I have been a sculptor at Madame Tussauds in London, creating lifelike figures and working with artists from all over the world. Now I have moved to North Devon and Teach English. With over 15 years of experience in art, education, and mentoring, I love sharing ideas and helping people express themselves through language. Teaching for me is about connecting with my students and building confidence through relaxed, enjoyable conversation. Ι bring patience, creativity, and humour to every session. I also study Italian, Mandarin, Latin and Greek, so I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language.Me as a Teacher
My English teaching background is unique as I started out in the creative industry, where I taught and mentored people of all ages. In the past 5 years I discovered a love for Languages and am now combing both passions. This, I hope will give you a fresh perspective on the English Language and I will use that creativity to bring you lessons you will love.
I really enjoy helping learners grow their confidence through engaging conversation and creative topics. Having lived and worked internationally, I enjoy cultural exchange and friendly, relaxed lessons where everyone feels comfortable speaking.
I specialise in teaching Italian and Chinese students, though everyone is welcome in my class. My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are warm, conversational, and tailored to your goals—improving fluency, pronunciation, or confidence. I focus on natural conversation, real-life situations, and topics you enjoy, like history, art, culture, travel, or current events, making learning personal and engaging. I use conversation prompts, short readings, images, and creative exercises, sometimes including examples from my sculpting work. After class, I provide notes with vocabulary, pronunciation tips, and practice ideas to help you continue improving.My teaching material
