On these lessons, you can expect some games, cooking, science experiments, singing, dancing, crafts and research, depending on your child's interests and level.

This is a practical consultation space for parents and educators raising children in more than one language.

Each session focuses on designing or strengthening a bilingual environment at home or in learning spaces, based on where you are right now.

Together, we create a clear, realistic plan using ready-made activities, routines, games, songs, and materials you can use immediately — no need to search or design resources on your own.

You’re welcome to bring real questions, everyday challenges, or ideas you’d like to explore.

Metaphysical Teachings: The Path to Mindset and Manifestation

I took a +120 hour TESOL Course in Thailand. We were tested and placed in classes to teacher and be observed closely.

I offered personalized lessons with an emphasis in phonetics to help enforce a more solid foundation for my students. I worked closely with students around the age of 2-6. I gained much experience and expertise in child development and over all holistic growth.

I worked in a Private school running my own English classes for student around the age of 2 to 18 years old. I created a curriculum and lessons for each of my classes. There I was able to expand my teacher skills and adapt more easily to my students needs and levels.

I have created lessons based beginner business and how to run proper office meetings. As well as business courses, I have taught IELTS preparation lessons and travel conversation. I am comfortable teaching and altering my lessons based on my student's needs and level proficiency.  I am a patient educator that takes pride in my students results and goals. As a teacher it is important for my students to know that they are all more than capable to reach and surpass their goals.

Holding lessons based on my students work and career needs in order to improve their life and less stress when working with English speakers.

Ask for a trial lesson with me if you would like to :

1) Talk together so we can agree on your aims and needs before you book a regular lesson. For example, we would establish what your language learning goals are, by when you would like to achieve your goals ideally, which materials you would prefer to work with, which communication tools you prefer to use and so on. 

2) Experience a short 15-20-minute lesson (depending on how long the analysis above takes), showing you how I typically teach and what materials and resources I usually use.

If you would like to discuss any other format for the trial lesson, feel free to send me a message.

Prenotate una lezione di prova con me se desiderate:

1) Parlare insieme per poter stabilire i tuoi obiettivi e le tue esigenze prima di prenotare una lezione normale. Ad esempio, concorderemo perché vuoi migliorare il tuo inglese, in quale lasso di tempo, idealmente, vorresti raggiungere i tuoi obiettivi, con che tipo di materiali preferisci lavorare, quale programma di comunicazione preferisci usare e così via.

2) Seguire una breve lezione di 15-20 minuti (in base a quanto tempo ci si impiega per fare l'analisi degli obiettivi citato sopra), in cui vi mostrerò il modo in cui insegno in generale e i materiali che utilizzo tipicamente.

Se desideri seguire qualsiasi altro formato per la lezione di prova, inviatemi pure un messaggio e sarei lieta di poterti aiutare.

These lessons are for students of all ages who have little to no experience of English, from kids to adults. Would you or your children like to begin your English language learning journey in a professional but enjoyable way? I can help. I have 10+ years of experience teaching new learners to become conversational from the very first lesson, focusing on speaking and listening to ensure you can communicate more and more after each class. Lessons with children will use images, videos, songs, comics and games to keep them engaged, while lessons with adults will focus on authentic materials such as news articles, videos and audios that show the most common language topics new students face. My lessons can be more open and conversational: we discuss a certain topic and use vocabulary and grammar in context, or they can follow the Cambridge English Syllabus with structured lessons that use a curriculum which will be personalised and shared with you. Feel free to send me a message if you have any questions :)!
