I'm a British teacher living in Colombia.
I have a strong passion for English and have a BA in English Language and Literature from Oxford University as well as the CELTA certificate for teaching English from Cambridge University.
I have lots of experience teaching all levels from A1 to C1 in a range of different contexts. For much of my time in Colombia I taught business people in companies. More recently, I’ve diversified and have also taught lots of high school and university students as well as young children.
Whether it’s helping you to prepare for an exam like IELTS or to improve a particular skill, I have lots of materials to get you where you need to go.

Me as a Teacher
One of my greatest skills is my subject knowledge. I've studied English with some of the best during my BA in English Language and Literature at Oxford University.
I'm also creative and can adapt materials to make them interesting and engaging, as well as meet your goals as a student.
My lessons & teaching style
I have a range of textbooks from beginner to advanced along with audio and video files, that we can use in our classes. I also have experience helping students to pass IELTS and have some great materials for that.
In general, I like to give you the opportunity to practise at least two of each of the four main skills (speaking, listening, reading and writing) in each lesson. This way you can learn through doing - not just learning the theory!
In terms of topics covered in the classes, I'm happy to adapt to whatever your goals and interests are. In our first class, we can discuss what you're hoping to achieve through these classes and how you learn best and I will try to work around that.

I'm grateful to Samantha for our English literature classes! Discussing the plot and characters of David Copperfield is both interesting and helpful for developing my acting skills.
