Hello!
Improve your English through engaging, enjoyable conversations. I have a clear, easy-to-understand British accent and a calm, patient teaching style. My lessons focus on building confidence, fluency and natural communication.
I’m originally from Brighton, England, and now live in Colombia. With over seven years of experience teaching students from around the world, I help people improve their English through relaxed conversation, practical guidance and real-life communication. My approach is friendly, flexible and focused on helping you speak English more naturally and confidently. Whether you want to improve your fluency, expand your vocabulary, practise pronunciation or feel more comfortable speaking in everyday situations, we can tailor our conversations to your goals and interests. We can talk about everyday life, work, travel, culture, music, football, current topics or anything else that interests you. My aim is to create a comfortable space where you can practise, make mistakes, learn new expressions and develop the confidence to use English in the real world. Alongside teaching, I have a background in mindfulness, breathwork and wellbeing coaching, which brings a different dimension to my lessons. If these topics interest you, we can explore subjects such as mindfulness, habits, mindset, stress management and personal development while improving your English. It’s a great way to learn useful vocabulary, express your opinions and have more meaningful conversations. These interests also inspire my podcast, Mindfulness & Coffee, where I explore wellbeing and personal growth through relaxed, engaging conversations. If you enjoy these subjects, the podcast can be a useful way to practise your listening skills, discover new vocabulary and experience natural English beyond the classroom. You can find it on all major podcast platforms, along with my mindfulness, breathwork and wellbeing sessions on YouTube through Niyama Wellbeing. Outside teaching, I enjoy fitness, cooking, studying, music, football and spending time with my family. Whether you’re learning English for work, travel, personal growth or simply the enjoyment of connecting with others, I look forward to helping you become a more confident and natural English speaker.

Teaching Style
My teaching style is relaxed, friendly and structured around your personal goals. I aim to create a comfortable space where you feel confident to speak, make mistakes and develop your English naturally. We can work on conversation, fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading or interview preparation. I also particularly enjoy conversations around mindfulness, wellbeing, habits and personal development, so if these subjects interest you, we can use them as a natural way to practise and develop your English. If you choose, we can even incorporate simple breathing or mindfulness practices into the session, using English throughout. Whatever your interests or goals, I’m happy to adapt our conversations and sessions around what will be most useful and enjoyable for you.
