About Me

Hello! My name is Talha, and I am a dedicated and friendly English tutor with a strong academic background in English-medium education. I completed my Doctor of Pharmacy degree from the University of Lahore, where all coursework, presentations, and professional communication were conducted in English. Currently, I am pursuing a Master of Management at Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), continuing my studies fully in English in an international academic environment.

As a teacher, I am patient, supportive, and focused on building my students’ confidence. I believe learning English should be practical, engaging, and tailored to each student’s goals. I enjoy working with motivated learners of all ages, whether they are preparing for IELTS, improving spoken English, or developing academic and professional communication skills.

My lessons are structured but flexible. I use real-life examples, conversation practice, exam-based exercises, and clear feedback to help students improve step by step. I aim to create a comfortable learning environment where students feel confident to ask questions, make mistakes, and grow.

If you are looking for a tutor who understands both academic English and everyday communication, I would be happy to support you on your learning journey.

I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week.

I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.

My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.

I can teach English to kids using a fun and educational way. I will make sure to keep their attention focused and teach all speaking, reading, and writing. It will be one-on-one, so I will focus directly on them and ensure they understand everything I explain to them fully. I will use the direct method, where I will only speak in English and not their native language so they will get used to the listening aspect.

In this class I help kids learn math and science in a fun and easy way. I explain things step by step and use games, examples, and simple activities so everything is easier to understand. The goal is to help students feel more confident, ask questions, and enjoy learning math and science. It is about understanding how things work, learning how to think logically, and enjoying the process of learning. I adapt my teaching to the needs of each child and encourage curiosity, creativity and independent thinking.
