About Me

I am a CELTA-certified English language teacher based in Dublin, Ireland, with experience teaching English as a foreign language in international contexts. I am a passionate, effective, and dedicated educator, committed to helping learners achieve their personal, academic, and professional goals.

As a non-native English teacher, I understand the language-learning process from the learner’s perspective. This allows me to anticipate challenges, explain concepts clearly, and support students with practical strategies that truly work.

I specialise in:

International English exams (Cambridge preparation)

Business English

Teaching English to young learners

I build strong rapport with my students and plan well-structured, engaging lessons tailored to different learning styles and objectives. I am adaptable, reflective, and open to feedback, always aiming to improve my teaching practice and my students’ results.

About the Lessons

My lessons are fully personalised and adapted to each student’s needs, goals, and level. Students are at the centre of the learning process and are encouraged to actively use English in meaningful, real-life contexts.

I use a wide range of resources, including:

Games and interactive activities

Audio and video materials

TV series, songs, and authentic texts

Books, worksheets, and exam-focused materials

This variety helps keep lessons engaging, motivating, and effective. My aim is for students to gain confidence, improve accuracy and fluency, and communicate successfully in academic, professional, and everyday situations.

About You (My Teaching Philosophy)

I have always loved teaching and working with people from different cultures. From an early age, I knew I wanted a career that contributes to education, communication, and personal development.

I believe that every student is unique, which is why I carefully plan each lesson based on individual interests, learning styles, abilities, and objectives. My role as a teacher is to guide, support, and motivate learners so they can develop the skills they need to communicate confidently and independently in English.
