Do you want to improve your English to reach personal, professional, or educational goals? Do you want a passionate teacher who will think about your needs and design lessons suited for you? I am here for you. Learning English is challenging, but it can also be a lot of fun with the right approach.

I studied English Education in Pennsylvania, U.S.A. (my beautiful home state). I have also earned my CELTA, and I am working on my DELTA. I also received a Fulbright grant to teach English in 2022! Teaching English is my one and only career and professional passion.

Although I am still young, my 5+ years of experience have included a huge variety of classes. I have taught wonderful students from all over the world, online and offline. My students are of all ages, including young children, teenagers, and adults. I have taught English to employees at international corporate workplaces, as well as to government employees, including heads of departments and state secretaries of various ministries. My business English classes have included areas such as tech, finance, government, and energy. I have also taught test prep courses, especially for CAE!

My greatest strength is my passion. 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 I would be very happy to include American culture in our lessons if you like!

I have supported students in many different ways: Developing Skills (Reading/Writing/Listening/Speaking), Presentation & Debate, Conversation Practice, Accent Reduction, Writing Support, Study Techniques

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.

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.
