Hello!

Hello! I’m Shakira, a friendly, patient, and culturally aware English tutor from London, UK, with proud Jamaican heritage. As a Pro Super Educator on Cambly, I’m committed to helping you speak English with clarity and confidence—whether you want to improve your Business English, strengthen your Academic English, or communicate more naturally in everyday conversations. My students enjoy learning with me because I create a warm, supportive environment where you can relax, practise, and grow. I specialise in real-world English for interviews, presentations, workplace communication, and university success. Every lesson is personalised to suit your goals, your pace, and your learning style. Whether you're preparing for a job, studying in English, or building global communication skills, I will guide you step by step and help you develop the confidence you need to express yourself clearly and professionally. I bring over 20 years of international experience across education, criminology, and trauma-informed coaching. I also hold a master’s degree in Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse and an undergraduate degree in Criminology. This diverse background allows me to connect with students from all cultures and support them with patience, empathy, and understanding. If you’re ready to improve your English with a tutor who truly listens, motivates, and helps you grow—book a session with me. I look forward to supporting your learning journey!

Beyond teaching, I spend my time exploring new countries, learning from diverse communities, and deepening my understanding of the world. Travel is a huge part of my life—it inspires my lessons and helps me connect with students from every background. I also work independently in criminology, focusing on behavioural patterns, victim-centred perspectives, and social justice. This work motivates my interest in philanthropy, community empowerment, and supporting people through education, awareness, and clear communication. In my free time, I enjoy exercise, weight training, yoga, long walks, and personal development, as well as engaging in projects that make a real difference. I love meeting people from all over the world, hearing their stories, and helping them achieve goals that open new doors—academically, professionally, and personally. If you’re looking for a tutor who brings warmth, cultural understanding, and real-life experience into every lesson, I’d love to connect with you on Cambly. Let’s grow your English skills together!
