About Me

Effective communicator!
Passionate about culture and people, loves animals and refuses to visit zoos.

Loves music, dancing and the outdoors, fresh air and walking on the coast.

I design lesson content with a focus on student’s level, desired achievement and we start with what the student is confident about and build an abundance material and resources around it.

I include “drill phrases and grammar”then practices, role plays, games, free chat, quizzes and consolidation in a lesson.

As a result a lesson is highly functional and resourceful, a handout with bullet points is given a day or two prior the lesson so the student can work around it practice and get an idea of what we will do in lessons. After lessons a note is also produced by me and given to the student, I encourage good effort and points, and suggest a focused work on things that need working on, boosting confidence.

Life is precious and I look forward to spending it unlocking the rewards of learning a new language with you!

See you soon,

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)
