Hello!

Hi! My name is Sian and I am a qualified Early Years and ESL teacher from the UK. 🌍 My love for teaching goes hand in hand with my passion for exploring new cultures, making the English language an exciting journey for my students. 🚀 As someone who enjoys keeping up with current events, I bring real-world context into the classroom, making language learning relevant and engaging. 🗞️ Beyond the classroom, you'll often find me with my nose in a book, 📚 as I believe in the power of literature to inspire and enhance language skills. However, what truly fuels my teaching is the joy of seeing my students succeed. Every lesson is an opportunity to create a dynamic and supportive learning environment. 🌈 So, if you're looking for an ESL teacher who not only brings qualifications and experience but also a genuine enthusiasm for teaching, you've found the right person. Let's embark on this language learning journey together! 🌟

I have eight years of experience instructing learners of various ages and skill levels. I have taught English as a second language both online and in classroom settings, and I have experience teaching the EYFS curriculum in the UK. I welcome students who want to improve their English for other reasons, but I also have a lot of experience helping students prepare for exams, like the TOEFL, TOEIC, EIKEN, and OPIc. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have, and I will do my best to respond!

Teaching Style

I am a friendly and patient teacher and I like to think of my teaching style as being adaptive to the student's needs. Therefore, for our first lesson I usually suggest starting with some short introductions; so I can learn more about your wants and needs; whether it be pronunciation, exam preparation, interview practice, general conversation and so on. From there, we can work together to create a plan that will best suit you and enhance your English fluency. Also, in order to adapt lessons to suit your needs, I like to use a variety of learning materials aimed at different ages and abilities.
