About Me

Hello, world! Hola, mundo! 你好,世界！Ciao, mondo! I'm a professional, CELTA-qualified teacher with 7 years of experience. I've taught ages 5-65 and all ability levels. I can help with exam preparation (especially Cambridge, Trinity, IELTS), business English, absolute beginners, travel English and general English. I am a Cambridge speaking examiner, so can help with specific training for those exams.

I want to make classes enjoyable, entertaining and interesting. I want the student to have meaningful work to complete, based on and related to the class, in preparation for the next class. In this way we can focus on weaknesses and correct mistakes most effectively, and maximise our 1-to-1 class time. My motto is SPEAK SPEAK SPEAK! As much as possible, make mistakes and learn from them!
