My story

Learning a language is personal.
So is teaching it.

Coaching & Training International teams in the workplace for over 10 years.

Teaching TEFL Online since Jan 2026

I started teaching English because I understand the importance of clear communication. I've lived and worked abroad for over 7 years, having to navigate job interviews, meetings or training with many people from around the globe, who are often using English as their second language. There have been times when I have felt their frustration when they know exactly what they want to say, but cannot quite find the right words. So those experiences now shape everything I do in my online sessions.

My approach is built around real communication, not textbook drills. Every lesson is tailored to you — your personal goals, set at your level and at your pace. Whether you're preparing for an exam, trying to improve your workplace English, or simply wanting to feel more confident in everyday conversations, we work on what actually matters to you.

I hold a Level 5 TEFL Diploma (200 hours) as well as an Advanced Certificate in Teaching English Online (40 hours). I am able to work with learners across a wide range of levels and backgrounds — from complete beginners finding their feet, to advanced speakers refining their professional edge for business.

"Progress happens when you feel safe to make mistakes. My job is to create that space."

What I care about most is that you leave every lesson feeling like you've moved forward — even just a little. Language learning is a long game, and the best lessons are the ones where you forget you're studying because you're too busy actually communicating.

I teach online, which means you can learn from wherever you are in the world, at times that fit your life. Lessons are flexible, focused, and always built around you.

Teaching philosophy

My learning philosophy

Student-centred

Every lesson starts with you — your goals, your gaps, your pace. I don't follow a fixed syllabus; I follow your progress.

Communication first

Grammar matters, but fluency comes from using the language. We spend more time talking and less time filling in blanks.

Consistent feedback

You'll always know where you stand and what to work on next. Clear, honest, encouraging feedback after every session.
