I am a dedicated TEFL instructor with over five years of experience, specializing in making English engaging through idioms, pronunciation, and dynamic conversation practice. My teaching approach blends creativity and practicality, fostering confidence in students at all levels (A2-C2). Outside the classroom, I channel my artistic passion into pottery, drawing, and music—qualities that enrich my interactive, lighthearted lessons. I believe laughter and genuine connection are essential to effective language acquisition.

Me as a Teacher
I am a TEFL (teaching English as a foreign language) certified teacher. I have many teaching techniques that my students have been very pleased with when they work with me. There are many things we could work on, including conversational skills, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, writing skills, pronunciation, and grammar rules, just to name a few. All of these aspects can be improved by using different techniques within my class. There is no need for you to feel nervous when working with me. I also provide fun assignments outside of the classroom to all of my regular students to help aid you in your learning journey.
My lessons & teaching style
I am very patient and non-judgmental. I use a variety of great resources to help you with your conversational skills, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, writing skills, pronunciation, and grammar rules, just to name a few.

I’ve had many lessons with Kristy, and every one of them has been such a pleasure. She is super friendly, talkative, funny, and warm, which makes our conversations flow so easily. We always have great chats about all kinds of topics, and she’s very creative and supportive in her teaching. Kristy always brings interesting subjects to discuss and introduces useful conversational idioms and vocabulary that I can apply right away. I’ve really enjoyed learning with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an engaging and motivating English teacher!

We learnt a lot of adj. words and showed our own advantages. It was fun, I want to know more about different cultures and different attitudes.
Actually I am still unfamiliar with the fixed matching phrases, I hope practicing can help me. : )

I just had another great class/time with Kristy. I really enjoyed our conversations and we covered so many different topics so far. Amazing! The correction is so smooth and she encourages me every time. After the class Kristy always writes a short summary and they always end with kind words and further encouragement. Looking at the chat the day after the lesson, always has something to look forward to. That motivates me even more and I look forward to the next lessons and more great conversations. Thank you Kristy :)

Deneme dersini zoom üzerinden yapacaktık ama onun sesi bana geldiği halde benim sesim karşıya gitmiyordu, sonra Google meet üzerinden dersi yaptık. Genel pratik yapma amacına yönelik, verimli bir görüşme oldu. Öğretmenin konuşması açık ve anlaşılırdi.
