Introduction:

CELTA-certified UK tutor with 10+ years' experience.

Whether you're 8 or 80, shy or chatty, I’ve got a lesson with your name on it! From business conversations to everyday small talk, let's make English fun, clear, and totally you. Book a class and let’s turn “I don’t know how to say it” into “Nailed it!” I’m a certified CELTA tutor from the UK with over 9 years of experience teaching students from around the world. I specialize in helping learners improve their speaking, pronunciation, and listening skills—whether for professional development, interview preparation, exam readiness like IELTS, or everyday confidence. Lessons are always personalized, practical, and focused on real progress. If you're looking for structured yet flexible support, you're in the right place. Let’s work together to build your fluency and take your English to the next level.

Teaching Specialty:

Business English Basics › General

For Business English, I design customized lessons based on the learner's professional background and communication needs. This may include formal email writing, presentations, meetings, negotiation language, and telephone skills. I use authentic case studies, news articles, industry-specific vocabulary, and role-plays to simulate real business situations. My lessons are adapted from platforms like Linguahouse and Teach-This, combined with materials I’ve developed for company clients. I always focus on tone, register, and fluency for the workplace while incorporating accent clarity and cultural awareness when needed.

English Basics › Accent Reduction

I help students improve their pronunciation and work on accent clarity using a variety of techniques. This includes phonics, stress and intonation patterns, minimal pairs, shadowing, and listening drills. I tailor each session to focus on the sounds and rhythm of English that students struggle with the most. Depending on the learner's goal—clear communication, American/British accent features, or public speaking—I adjust the materials accordingly. I often use audio recordings, visual phonetic charts, and speech practice tools, while recording student speech to track progress over time.

Kids › All Ages

For young learners, I use interactive and playful methods that keep them engaged while building language skills. I adapt my style based on the child's age and interests. I use visuals, songs, stories, drawing, TPR (Total Physical Response), and screen-sharing tools to make lessons fun and dynamic. My resources come from educational platforms such as Narrant, LingoAce, and tailored lesson slides. I often integrate games and reward systems to build motivation while focusing on listening, speaking, and vocabulary development.

Everyday English › Situational Conversation

I specialize in helping students build confidence and fluency through real-life conversational practice. I use a mix of role plays, visual prompts, personalized topics, and structured dialogues depending on the student's goals and level. For everyday English, I often include scenario-based conversations such as shopping, travel, work, and social settings. I draw on resources from Teach-This, Narrant, and CEFR-aligned materials, but I also adapt or create content that suits the student’s needs. Lessons are interactive, and I provide feedback on grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary in a supportive way to help students speak more naturally and confidently.

English Basics › General

When preparing students for exams like Cambridge tests, IELTS, or TOEFL, I follow a structured plan based on the exam format, focusing on the four core skills—reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I use official Cambridge and IELTS preparation books and practice papers and modify materials depending on the student's level. If students need support in general English or grammar before test prep, I include that in the curriculum. Each session includes mock tasks, time management tips, vocabulary building, and feedback on writing and speaking to improve scores effectively.
