Hi, I’m 30 years old, and a master’s graduate in urban planning with a passion for languages and communication. For many years, I’ve been tutoring children, teenagers, and friends in English, helping them build solid foundations in grammar, vocabulary, and speaking. What I enjoy most about teaching is seeing students gain confidence and realize that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules but about being able to express themselves in new ways.

When working with younger learners, I design lessons that are playful, interactive, and creative, because kids learn best when they are having fun. I use games, songs, storytelling, and role-play to make the language come alive and to spark curiosity. My goal is to create a safe, encouraging space where children feel comfortable to try, make mistakes, and celebrate small victories. I believe those moments of courage are the true building blocks of long-term learning.

For older students, I shift the focus to structured exercises, conversations, and real-life examples, so that they can directly apply what they learn in school, exams, or everyday life. I also place great importance on balancing the four key skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. This approach ensures that learners develop a well-rounded understanding of English, rather than focusing only on one area.

Every student is unique, and I adapt my methods to each personality, interest, and pace of learning. Some students thrive with visual aids, while others respond best to interactive speaking practice. By noticing these differences early on, I can shape my lessons so that students feel motivated and supported. Over time, I’ve seen shy children become enthusiastic speakers, and that transformation is the most rewarding part of teaching for me.

Above all, I want students to leave each class with a smile, feeling that English is approachable, enjoyable, and useful in their everyday lives. My mission is not only to teach the language but also to inspire confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love for learning.
