Thai Lesson for Beginners (speaking, reading)

Hello, I’m a TESOL-certified English communication coach. I work with learners who want to improve their spoken English in a practical and steady way. If you understand English but hesitate while speaking, struggle with fluency, or want to sound more natural, we can work on that together.😇
In my lessons, we focus on:

• Real-life speaking practice
• Clear pronunciation
• Better sentence structure
• Vocabulary you can actually use
• Building confidence step by step

My approach is simple structured conversations with clear feedback. I will correct you when needed, explain why, and help you improve gradually. All lessons are tailored to the individual needs.

Speak English with ease

Let’s turn your English from a "stressor" into a "strength."

The goal of our 30-minute trial is simple: to make you feel more comfortable and give you a clear map for your progress. I provide a high-level professional environment, but I also understand that speaking a second language can be intimidating. This is a "judgment-free" zone where we focus on your growth.

In this session, we will:

Connect: Briefly discuss your background, your career, and what you enjoy doing.

Explore: Identify the specific "communication wins" you want to achieve—whether it’s feeling more relaxed during small talk or commanding a boardroom.

Action: I’ll give you 1 or 2 practical "quick fixes" you can use immediately to sound more natural and authoritative.

Plan: We will look at how my 10 and 20-lesson "cycles" can fit into your busy schedule to ensure you hit your goals without burnout.

My Approach: I treat our lessons like a partnership. I’ve helped professionals from companies like Google, Amazon, and the UN find their voice. Whether you are preparing for a specific event or just want to maintain your fluency, we will move at a pace that works for you.

A Level 5 CELTA certificate is an internationally recognised qualification in teaching English to adults, issued by Cambridge English. It proves strong practical classroom skills, solid teaching methodology and real observed teaching experience. Earning a Pass B indicates the candidate performed above the standard pass, consistently demonstrating high-quality lesson planning, clear language analysis and effective, responsive teaching.

Earning my BA in English Studies at the University of Nottingham meant immersing myself in literature, linguistics, and academic writing. I explored texts from medieval to modern, sharpened my analytical skills, and learned how language works in real contexts. This training strengthened my communication, critical thinking, and teaching abilities—giving me a rich, adaptable foundation for helping students grow confidently in English.

Led engaging tours at the National Theatre, providing visitors with insights into theatre history, architecture, and productions, while answering questions and enhancing the cultural experience.

Working as an auxiliar de conversación at Colegio El Valle meant bringing English to life through dynamic activities, leading class discussions and supporting teachers, all while helping students grow in confidence and fluency. It was a vibrant, hands-on role that strengthened my teaching skills every day.

At St. George’s Academy Bilbao, I taught structured, communicative English classes from beginner to advanced levels, tailoring lessons to varied learning needs. I also delivered focused preparation for Cambridge exams—from A2 Key through C1 Advanced—supporting students’ progress and helping them achieve strong, confident results.

Since 2019, I’ve worked as a private English teacher, delivering tailored lessons to learners of all ages and levels. I focus on clear communication, personalised goals, and steady progress, including support with Cambridge exam preparation and overall language confidence.

Let's introduce ourselves and get to know each other in a relaxed, casual setting! 

*Full notes and corrections will be given throughout the lesson, AND typed up tips and comments will be sent to you afterwards too*

I look forward to meeting you soon! :-)

Conversation Practices are ideal for any student – from beginner up to those who are comfortable with the English language and simply want to refine it.

We can choose a topic to talk about in advance, or we can just chat and see what comes up! The choice is yours, or you can leave it up to me to decide.

I'm a fun and easy going teacher (or so I'm told!), and so these conversation practices will be very relaxed and help you learn to speak real, authentic British English – the way it is actually spoken in the UK.

Please feel free to have a cup of tea during our conversation!

I look forward to hearing from you! :-)

Relaxed Conversation Practice

Struggling with British English pronunciation? Look no further! This is the perfect lesson for you :)

We will strategically use a variety of methods such as article reading, drilling, focused exercises and other techniques in order to improve your pronunciation and make you sound more like a native speaker.

Each lesson will include full corrections and sometimes homework will be given to continue developing your practice in your own time!

--------------------------------------------

I have recently been asked about listening practice lessons and so I have decided to add them here on Italki.

We will use a progressive system of practice exercises to get you familiar with a range of English scenarios in the form of texts, scripts, videos, lectures and more. 

You can book this lesson and simply let me know whether you would prefer to do Pronunciation OR Listening practice, or if you book a package of lessons you can mix up between the two freely.

I pride myself on being a relaxed and easy going teacher, so you can feel free to message me if you have any questions.

Have a great day.

I look forward to helping you improve your Pronunciation or Listening skills soon ;-)

Let's discuss the news!

For this lesson I will chose an interesting article based on your preferences (general news, entertainment, celebrity gossip, sports news, health, technology etc!) and either send it to you to read before the lesson, or to read out loud during the class to focus on pronunciation and reading skills. 

We will use the article during the lesson firstly to work on your reading skills, before discussing the topic together and expressing our views, so that you can practise giving your opinions on a wide variety of topics. 

Full corrections will be given, you can feel free to have a cup of tea with me whilst we enjoy a relaxed discussion :-) 

I look forward to discussing the news with you soon!

Discuss the News (with a native British English teacher!)

I will offer full corrections including grammar, spelling and structure, as well as improvements and suggestions, using tracked changes and highlighting what has been done.
