Do you want to improve your English to reach personal, professional, or educational goals?

Do you want extra support for your child with hopes of reaching an Honors or AP-level English course?

Learning English is a challenge, but with a passionate teacher who thinks about your needs and designs lessons suited for you.

I studied English Education at university in Pennsylvania, U.S.A.

I am CELTA-certified and just completed Module 2 of my DELTA, which is a master's-level qualification from Cambridge University.

I also received a Fulbright grant to teach English in Europe in 2022.

As you can see, teaching English is my true professional passion.

Although I am still young, my 5+ years of experience have included a huge variety of classes. I have taught students from all over the world and of all ages.

My students include young children, school students, pensioners, corporate employees, government employees, and even some elected officials.

My classes form to suit what my students need most. I have taught general English, conversation classes, public speaking, writing, and more.

My business English classes have included areas such as tech, finance, government, and energy.

I have also taught many test prep courses for exams such as CAE and IELTS.

I enjoy getting to know my students, and I always put in the time and effort to design lessons that will be useful and interesting for them. I think having a good relationship is very important for learning. With personalized lessons and a focus on steady progress, you can be sure that you will leave each lesson with something to think about. I am also a lover of culture and a proud Pennsylvanian, so if you want to learn about culture while you study English, we will be a great match.

Here are some ideas for how I can help you: Developing Skills (Reading/Writing/Listening/Speaking), Accent Reduction, Writing Support, Presentation & Debate, Conversation Practice, Study Techniques, and Habit-Building

Accent Reduction

Accent Reduction

For my DELTA coursework, I have researched, written, and delivered lessons on improving students' accents and raising awareness of features of connected speech and word/sentence stress. I have read 10+ books on the topic and incorporated the knowledge I learned from them into detailed, successful lessons. I have worked with many students from around the world, from elementary to advanced levels, on improving their American accents.

Essay Writing

I studied English Education for 4 years in university. For 5 years, I have been teaching English to a wide range of ages and levels. I am nearly done my DELTA Module 2, which is equivalent to a Master's degree in English teaching and requires a deep understanding of teaching and learning English. I especially enjoy teaching writing: I have taught writing courses at a university, as well as to high school students in America and Europe.
