Introduction:

Experienced, patient tutor for confident casual and business English

I’m a native English speaker born and raised in Australia. Before becoming a teacher, I worked as a Medical Practice Manager, where I oversaw the daily operations, administration, and business functions of a healthcare facility. That role required strong communication, leadership, organisation, and problem-solving skills — all of which I now bring into my 7+ years of teaching.

I especially enjoy reading an article together and exploring it through discussion, as it gives us a clear topic for deeper and more meaningful conversation. We can also practise structured interview questions to improve fluency and confidence, particularly if you need English for work, interviews, or professional communication. Of course, I’m equally comfortable with casual conversations if you prefer a more relaxed approach.

I’ll refine your pronunciation, expand your vocabulary, and help you sound natural and professional. With experience managing staff and conducting interviews in Australia, I understand high-pressure communication and can guide you step by step through interviews or presentations.

In my free time, I love playing pickleball. It’s similar to tennis, but more social and easier to pick up, which makes it a great way to stay active and meet new people. I’m also passionate about maintaining a healthy lifestyle, gym, travelling, watching movies, staying informed about world events, and exploring different cultures — so we’ll always have something interesting to talk about.

Above all, I aim to make lessons practical, engaging, and confidence-building. I believe progress comes from consistent speaking practice (Kaizen) in a supportive environment — and that’s exactly what I provide. My sessions are always friendly, motivating, and easy to follow.

Teaching Specialty:

Topics › News Articles

You or I choose an article and read together, focusing on pronunciation and overall understanding. Afterward, I ask discussion questions related to the topic, encouraging students to share their opinions while allowing the conversation to naturally expand through relevant follow-up questions based on their responses.

Everyday English › Free Conversation

We can enjoy fun, relaxed conversations about everyday life, our culture or topics that genuinely interest you, helping you feel understood, comfortable, and confident speaking English.

English Basics › Pronunciation / Phonics

We go through each syllable of the word and practise slowly if students are struggling. Re-visiting difficult words periodically is helpful too.

Everyday English › Slang

If you plan to travel, work, study, or are simply interested in Australia, I can teach you the most commonly used Australian slang.
