With a degree in Politics, Philosophy, and Economics from a top UK university and 7+ years of experience in finance, I bring real-world business insight to your learning. I also hold a Cambridge University teaching qualification (CELTA) and a TEFL certificate.

I am an "Intermediate Specialist". My classes are designed to help you bridge the gap from "Intermediate" to "Advanced."

Many students "just chat" in lessons but stay at the same level for years. I believe that structured classes are the best way to make real progress. Whether we follow a specific plan or have a structured conversation, I will motivate you and keep you accountable to ensure you reach your goals.

What we can do in this class:

1. Guided Conversation: I won't just talk about any topics. We are going to talk about topics and learn the vocabulary that will actually help your English.

I find many topics fascinating - from sports, music, and food to medicine and coffee, you name it! I am a trained barista and have worked as a waitress, a hotel attendant, and a financial analyst. I have lived and travelled in many countries, so we will never run out of things to talk about!

2. Life & Immigration: We practice the English you need for real situations—like the bank or the doctor, or talking to neighbours. 

3. Travel & Culture: We learn how to navigate airports, restaurants, and social events in the UK and other countries. 

4. Natural Pronunciation: We focus on real-world sounds and British intonation so you can speak without long pauses. 

5. Honest Feedback: In every lesson, I will correct your mistakes. You will receive a note of your these corrections after every class to help you track your progress. 

** Coursebook Option: If you prefer a structured programme, we can follow a coursebook. 
** Business English: For workplace English, please book the "Interview Prep & Business Communication" class. 
** IELTS: For speaking practice, please bookmy "Exam Preparation" class.

General English: English for Everyday Life (Intermediate to Advanced) 🇬🇧

As a former employee of top US and UK companies, I’ve applied to and interviewed with leading firms such as the Bank of England, NHS, PwC, Goldman Sachs, Skerryvore Asset Management, Lloyds Banking Group, and BlackRock. I received offers from BlackRock (global asset management firm), Hampden & Co (UK's leading private bank), Lloyds (UK’s largest bank), and iCapital (top wealth management company).

Whether you're writing reports, giving updates, preparing for interviews or negotiating with colleagues, strong communication makes a difference. This course helps you sound natural and clear in English—so you can grow your career with confidence.
