Hi, I’m Tiya! A CELTA-certified English teacher specializing in IELTS preparation and Cambridge exams (KYE, PET, FCE, CAE, CPE). My journey began teaching in Cambodia, and now I help students worldwide achieve their language goals online. With a background as a cruise photographer, I’ve worked with people from 60+ countries—giving me a deep understanding of diverse accents and learning needs. Whether you’re preparing for an exam or want fluent, confident English, I’ll tailor lessons to your success. When not teaching, I’m exploring nature or lost in a book—ask me for travel tips!Me as a Teacher
I'm a native English speaker and I hold a CELTA certification from Cambridge. Although teaching was not my first profession, after completing my CELTA I discovered I loved teaching English. My experience is in A2 to C2 general English, intermediate business English, IELTS preparation and Cambridge English examination courses. I have taught students from 8 years old to adults but my TESOL training specialised in teaching adult learners, which is really my passion. Now my main focus is on IELTS preparation and Cambridge exams.My lessons & teaching style
If you're just starting out or a more advanced learner I can help you! I can also assist with improving your academic writing skills or help you get the IELTS band score you really need. If you're doing Cambridge CPE,CAE,FCE,PET or KET exams I can help you prepare and practice with authentic practice material. I am patient, kind and a great listener. I care about my students success, listen to their individual needs and structure lessons aimed at achieving their personal goals. I always try to make my students feel as comfortable as possible so they never feel embarrassed or afraid to make mistakes. I believe that language learning should be fun, engaging and catered to the individual.My teaching material
