LEARN ENGLISH WITH CONFIDENCE | TEFL-QUALIFIED TUTOR FOR ADULTS & CHILDREN Hello and welcome! I’m a TEFL-qualified English tutor with 4 years of experience on italki. Working with students from many countries sparked my love for teaching and inspired me to grow as an educator. I hold a degree in Psychology and a postgraduate degree in Anthropology, which help me create lessons that are supportive, adaptable, and culturally aware. I’m currently an intern teacher at a private primary school and completing my Postgraduate Certificate in Education, I'm bringing classroom experience and online teaching expertise. My style is professional yet relaxed, patient, approachable, and goal-focused, helping students feel confident, make progress, and enjoy learning English. I’m approachable, patient, and genuinely invested in my students’ success. My teaching style is supportive, flexible, and goal-focused, creating a safe space for students to grow while making real progress. I value learning with and from my students, not only in language, but also through discovering their cultures, countries, and traditions. This helps me create lessons that feel relevant, respectful, and engaging. My lessons are discussion-based, engaging, and informative. Your opinions matter, so lessons are interactive and include opportunities for you to give feedback on activities and topics. I also use demonstrations and visual, realistic methods to support understanding and make learning more meaningful.
