About Me

Hi! I'm currently studying for a Master's degree in International Studies and Diplomacy at SOAS, University of London. I have a strong interest in the humanities and a particular passion for English, Philosophy and History.

I understand that academic subjects can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when it comes to analysing complex texts, developing arguments or preparing for exams. My aim is to make learning more accessible, enjoyable and rewarding, while helping students build confidence in their own abilities.

I'm a patient, friendly and encouraging tutor who believes that every student learns differently. I take the time to understand each student's strengths, challenges and goals, adapting my approach to suit their individual needs.

I particularly enjoy helping students develop their critical thinking, analytical and essay-writing skills. Rather than simply providing answers, I encourage students to ask questions, explore different perspectives and develop the confidence to express their own ideas.

As a postgraduate student myself, I understand the pressures of studying and the importance of having clear explanations, constructive feedback and a supportive learning environment.

Whether you're looking to improve your grades, prepare for examinations or gain a deeper understanding of a subject, I'm committed to helping you make progress at a pace that works for you.

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.

My teaching approach focuses on making English learning engaging, interactive, and personalised to each student's needs. I believe that the best way to improve a language is through consistent practice, real-life conversations, and building confidence in communication rather than simply memorising grammar rules.

My Teaching Methods

I use a combination of conversational practice, grammar exercises, vocabulary development, pronunciation improvement, and interactive activities. My goal is to create a comfortable learning environment where students feel confident speaking English, asking questions, and learning from their mistakes.

What a Typical Lesson Looks Like

Each lesson begins with a short conversation to practise speaking and review previous topics. We then focus on a specific area of improvement, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or academic English. Lessons include practical exercises, discussions, and personalised feedback to help students recognise their strengths and areas for improvement.

What Makes My Lessons Different

As a university student studying Business Management with Business Analytics at Lancaster University Leipzig, I understand the importance of effective English communication in academic, professional, and everyday situations. Having studied in an English-speaking educational environment, I aim to make lessons practical, enjoyable, and relevant to real-life experiences.

Who Are My Lessons For?

My lessons are suitable for secondary school students, university students, and adults with a basic to advanced understanding of English (A2–C1). Whether you're preparing for school exams, improving your academic writing, developing professional communication skills, or simply looking to become more fluent and confident, I will adapt the lessons to your individual learning goals.

All lessons are conducted entirely in English to encourage immersion and help students develop natural communication skills.

Do you want to do really well in your English A-levels in 2027 and finally become more confident? Then you've come to the right place.

I am a state-certified translator and have been successfully and effectively preparing students for their Abitur (university entrance exam) for years. I know the exam requirements inside and out – text analysis, interpretation, essay and commentary, grammar, and the oral exam – and I will show you step by step how to confidently and effectively complete the tasks under time pressure.

The lessons are completely individualized: We specifically address your knowledge gaps, improve your grades, and build the exam confidence you need. Everything takes place online and is precisely tailored to your level and goals – whether you're preparing for tests, the final exams in 10th grade, or directly for your university entrance exams.

Many of my students have achieved noticeably better grades and significantly more self-confidence through the structured and calm working methods.

Feel free to write to me if you'd like to do a free trial lesson. I look forward to meeting you.
