Introduction:

I am a qualified ESL teacher with over 10 years' experience and a certified IELTS examiner

I am a professional Senior ESL teacher from the UK with both the CELTA and DELTA qualification. Both of these qualifications are administered by Cambridge University and are two of the most recognized and professional English language teaching qualifications in the world. I also have over 10 years' teaching experience and have taught British, American, and Australian English and have helped students prepare for various exams (TOEFL, IELTS, FCE, CAE, Trinity). I enjoy teaching and meeting people from different countries and cultures. My teaching style has been described as friendly, relaxed, happy and fun.

I have taught English in the UK, Spain, India, South Korea, and currently in Australia.

I love my job teaching English and I'm always trying to improve as a teacher. It is my profession and I am both well qualified and have a lot of experience. I have studied both grammar and pronunciation so I can help with English grammar and parts of native speaker pronunciation which will help you to sound more natural and also help a lot with your listening skills.

I look forward to meeting you and helping you improve your English!
