As an ESL teacher from the UK, I’m passionate about helping students feel confident and fluent in English. With a background in linguistics and years of experience teaching learners of all levels, I aim to create an encouraging and immersive environment tailored to each student's needs. Outside the classroom, I'm an avid traveler, which has given me the chance to experience diverse cultures and languages firsthand—something I bring into my lessons to make them more engaging and relatable. I love exploring new places, trying local cuisines, and connecting with people from all over the world. When I'm not traveling, you can find me enjoying a good book, hiking, or experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. Combining my love for teaching with my personal interests, I aim to inspire curiosity and help students feel at ease as they improve their English skills. As an ESL teacher from the UK, I bring a diverse background in teaching students of all ages and levels, both in classrooms and online. I’ve had the rewarding experience of teaching English in Spain, where I learned the value of tailoring lessons to meet each student's unique needs and cultural background. I’ve also worked with business professionals, helping them enhance their English for presentations and international networking. My teaching style is flexible and student-centered, focusing on building fluency and confidence to make language learning a positive and practical experience. My teaching style is interactive, student-centered, and adaptable. I believe that learning should be engaging and practical, so I design lessons around real-life scenarios that help students feel comfortable using English in everyday situations. I incorporate conversation practice, role-playing, and interactive activities to encourage active participation and build confidence. I also emphasize cultural context, integrating British English expressions, idioms, and cultural insights to make the language more authentic and relatable. I’m attentive to each student's goals and learning pace, so I tailor my lessons to address individual needs—whether that means focusing on conversational fluency, vocabulary building, or business communication skills. My goal is for students to leave each lesson feeling more confident and equipped to use English naturally and effectively.
