Zef

Hi! I’m Zef, a native English speaker from Manchester, England. I’m passionate about helping people achieve their language-learning goals while making the process enjoyable and engaging. My own journey learning Polish has given me a insights into the challenges and also the fun of mastering a new language. Outside of teaching, I love music and spend my free time DJing and exploring creative ways to express myself in music. I also enjoy traveling, learning about different cultures, and connecting with people from diverse backgrounds. My goal is to create a friendly, encouraging environment where you can feel comfortable and motivated to succeed! I am a TEFL-certified tutor with additional advanced training in English grammar and teaching methods through various TEFL courses. I have also had the pleasure of working one-on-one with students from Poland, tailoring lessons to suit a variety of needs, from preparing for school exams to mastering conversational English and pronunciation. Also, my current role as a volunteer at an English school in Bali has expanded my experience in teaching students from different backgrounds. In addition to my formal teaching certifications, I have a Diploma in Business, which enables me to teach Business vocabulary and concepts in English. I specialise in helping students refine their professional communication, whether it’s for interviews, presentations, or emails. As a lifelong learner, I bring curiosity and adaptability to my teaching, ensuring that my students benefit from both my academic knowledge and real-world experience. My lessons are always student-centred, practical, and designed to help you use English confidently in real-life situations. I adapt each lesson to your goals and learning style, ensuring that our time together is both effective and enjoyable. Whether you need specific structured lessons with clear objectives or a more relaxed, conversational approach, I’ll create a plan that works for you. I like to incorporate creative methods, such as role-playing, discussions, and situational exercises, to make learning engaging. For grammar, I simplify complex concepts and provide practical examples to help you use them naturally. I also encourage active participation, meaning you practice speaking as much as possible during lessons. If you want to bring your own materials or focus on specific topics, I’m open to tailoring lessons even further. Together, we’ll track your progress and celebrate each milestone on your journey to mastering English together!
