Conversational Practice (IELTS/PTE/General)

Hi! I'm Tara, and I'm a native English speaker from Canada. I am currently residing in Portugal!

Before becoming a tutor, I spent over 13 years working as a Probation Officer in Canada, supporting people from all walks of life. That experience gave me invaluable transferable skills-like patience, active listening, and clear communication- which I now bring to every lesson.

I believe these skills can genuinely benefit you as you learn English, especially if you're looking for a calm, understanding, and encouraging environment to practice real, everyday conversation.

My lessons are perfect for learners who want to:

-Build confidence in everyday conversations

-Improve pronunciation and speaking fluency

-Expand their vocabulary naturally through real-life topics

-Practice listening and speaking in a judgement-free space

I don't use formal textbooks or structured materials- my focus is on natural, real English. If you enjoy chatting about travel, food, culture, poetry, spirituality, or daily life, we'll get along great! I am especially passionate about animals, mindfulness, holistic healing, meditation, Reiki and living a more conscious life, so if those topics speak to you, we'll have some deep and meaningful conversations. 

I'm also happy to help if you want to practice reading aloud, improving pronunciation, or building reading confidence-just let me know what you need. I also love writing, so if you'd like to try creative speaking or reading exercises, or even talk about your own writing or poetry, I'd love to help-but I focus more on natural language use rather than strict grammar rules.

I'm happy to work with intermediate and advanced learners, or motivated beginners who can understand basic English and want to speak more. Together, we'll find your comfort zone and help you grow from there. 

Let's have a conversation-and have fun doing it! I believe the best learning happens when it feels like you're chatting with a friend.
