ABOUT ME
I’m a qualified English Language teacher and native English speaker with 15 years of experience helping non-native English speakers to express themselves fluently, with confidence and clarity.
I hold a Bachelor of Humanities (cum laude) in English and Psychology, a Postgraduate Certificate in Education, a 190-hour TESOL, and certifications in IELTS Coaching and Proofreading.
I specialise in teaching IELTS Band 7+ prep – I’ve helped hundreds of learners to achieve an IELTS band 7+.
My other teaching specialities include teaching grammar, writing, Business English (vocab, interviews, meetings, emails, reports), as well as general conversation skills and vocabulary.
I love cats, yoga, philosophy, reading, and exploring tools for wisdom and wellness, for both people and the planet.
