Yiannis Smyrillis

I am a native English speaker with a strong professional and academic background, offering personalised English lessons tailored to your individual needs and goals. With a BSc in International Hospitality Management from Hotelschool The Hague and extensive experience in international, client-facing roles, I bring real-world communication skills into every lesson.

Over the past several years, I have worked in fast-paced, multicultural environments across hospitality, sales, and account management, including leadership roles at Wolt and operational management in luxury hospitality. These roles required advanced English communication, negotiation, presentation, and relationship-building skills on a daily basis. As a result, I am particularly well-suited to helping students improve professional, business, and conversational English with confidence and clarity.

My teaching approach is student-centred and highly adaptable. After an initial discussion, I structure lessons based on your specific goals, available time, preferred learning methods, and current language level. Whether you are preparing for work, interviews, presentations, relocation, travel, or simply want to sound more natural and fluent, lessons are designed to be practical, engaging, and relevant to your life.

I focus on developing speaking confidence, vocabulary expansion, listening comprehension, and clear, effective expression, while also supporting grammar accuracy where needed. My background in leadership and training allows me to explain concepts clearly, give constructive feedback, and keep lessons motivating and structured.

Lessons are suitable for adults and young professionals looking for real-life English that goes beyond textbooks. If you value a flexible, goal-oriented approach with clear progress and practical results, I would be happy to support you on your English learning journey.
