I specialize in Conversational English. My background has always been about communicating with people, and I bring this experience into every lesson.
In my lessons, I will help you:
• 🔹 Learn useful everyday phrases, sentences, and vocabulary
• 🔹 Practice speaking with confidence in real-life situations, I actively give corrections!
• 🔹 Improve your basic grammar and pronunciation step by step
• 🔹 Get better at listening and understanding native speakers
• 🔹 Build the skills you need for travel, work, or study abroad
I know that speaking in a new language can feel difficult, but I create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere where mistakes are part of learning.
