With over 10 years of experience teaching professionals and students, I combine phonetics expertise (Speech & Language Therapy trained) with real-world communication strategies.
I'm a qualified, experienced teacher with a background in both education and business. My lessons are professional, practical, and tailored to your goals.
✅ Polished British pronunciation – sound natural, confident, and fluent.
✅ IELTS Speaking & Writing – proven strategies for Band 7 and above.
✅ Business English – interviews, presentations, and cross-cultural confidence.
As a Russian learner myself, I understand how frustrating language learning can be. Let’s turn your goals into real progress!
Le mie creazioni
Che tipo di insegnante sono
I am friendly, enthusiastic, and positive. My goal is to help you make the most of your lesson and leave knowing more than when you started.
✅ I can help you prepare for your IELTS Speaking and Writing tests so you feel calm and confident on exam day.
✅ I can support you with job interviews, workplace presentations, or simply feeling confident when talking to international colleagues.
✅ I can help you expand your vocabulary and express yourself clearly and confidently in standard English.
✅ I enjoy working on accents and pronunciation. If you’d like, I can help you sound more British and develop smooth, natural English speech.
Le mie lezioni e il mio metodo di insegnamento
I want you to get the most out of your class with me! 😊 My role is to teach, support, and guide you to reach your goals.
✅ I am a professional and experienced teacher who creates well-planned and organised classes tailored to your needs and goals.
✅ I use poetry, songs, texts (including Shakespeare), and media articles to make lessons engaging and interesting.
✅ For accent work, I have a set of my own specially designed resources. For vocabulary building, I can recommend books (many of which are free or available online).
