I’m a certified ESL instructor with a passion for helping students build real-world confidence in English. Looking to elevate your Business English for meetings and presentations, or simply want to enjoy natural, fluent conversations, I’m here to guide you every step of the way. I also specialize in teaching children through fun, interactive lessons and travel English for those preparing to explore the world. My approach is practical, supportive, and always tailored to your goals.

Students in my ESL classes can expect a dynamic and supportive learning environment focused on practical communication and skill development. My aim is to make learning engaging, relevant, and tailored to your individual needs and goals. Materials: I like to use a variety of materials to cater to different learning styles and keep things interesting:

• Visual aids
• Textbooks
• Online resources
• Workbooks

Activities: My classes are usually quite interactive, with a focus on getting you to use English actively:

• Communicative Activities: Lots of speaking practice through discussions, and role-plays.
• Interactive Games: To make learning vocabulary and grammar more fun and engaging.
• Problem-Solving Tasks: Working together to solve a problem using English.
• Listening Activities: Using audio and video to improve your comprehension.
• Reading and Discussion: Exploring different types of texts and sharing your thought

I have 6 years of dedicated experience as an ESL teacher, working with a diverse range of students across various proficiency levels and age groups.

I have expertise in developing and delivering engaging lessons focused on conversational fluency, academic writing, grammar, IELTS/TOEFL preparation, and business English, adapting my methods to suit individual learning styles and cultural contexts.
