My teaching style is friendly, practical and student-centred. I want my students to feel comfortable speaking English, asking questions and making mistakes without feeling nervous.

As a native English speaker, I focus on helping students develop real-life communication skills. My lessons can include conversation practice, vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, reading, listening and everyday English, depending on the student’s level and goals.

I like to use different teaching methods to keep lessons interesting. We may use pictures, flashcards, mind maps, short texts, listening activities, conversations and practical exercises. I also like learning by doing, so students have plenty of opportunities to use the language rather than only study rules.

The dynamics of my lessons are interactive. I encourage students to participate, ask questions and practise speaking as much as possible. I adapt my explanations and activities to each student because everyone learns differently.

My goal is not only to teach English, but to help students become more confident and independent English speakers. I want every lesson to feel useful, positive and enjoyable.
