Advance your English journey!

As a highly qualified language educator with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Applied Modern Languages and a Trinity College CertTESOL, I specialize in working with motivated and driven students who are eager to accelerate their language learning journey. I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to every lesson, providing students with the tools and techniques they need to rapidly improve their fluency, confidence, and overall performance.

But aside from experience and qualifications, I believe that I have cultivated cultural sensitivity and awareness.

** I also prepare students for the IELTS Speaking exam to help them achieve their desired score! **

In my classroom, students experience a relaxed and supportive environment that empowers them to take risks and make mistakes without fear. I encourage and guide my students to speak up as much as possible, providing timely feedback and introducing new vocabulary words in the chat to boost their skills. Why focus on speaking skills? Speaking is the ultimate workout for language learners, activating all aspects of grammar, punctuation, and vocabulary at once to help you become a more effective communicator. If you're struggling to break through the "intermediate trap" and achieve fluency, I'm here to help. The secret? Curiosity. Find a topic you're passionate about.

The Conversation Practice session is a speaking session based on spontaneous topics and informal conversations. I will help you reformulate your sentences to make them sound more natural and ask you many questions relevant to the topic, increasing the chance of recycling vocabulary.

In my Grammar & Vocabulary class, I use various materials from course books such as the English File Series, National Geographic Outcomes Series, and grammar books like English Grammar in Use by Raymond Murphy. I have also created my own Google Slides to explain grammar points and verb tenses.

As a teacher, I am patient, kind, and caring.

I always prefer to use AUTHENTIC material: blogs, images, song lyrics, videos, poetry, etc. Read less
