Hello!

I gained my certificates in English language teaching to adults and young learners (CELTA and CELTYL) in 2016 and I have experience teaching both adults and children, from the age of three upwards. I love to meet awesome students committed to learning the English language and culture. The key to learning is to enjoy it! I can help to expand your vocabulary and your confidence will follow.

I like to travel and experience different cultures. I enjoy hiking and mountain walking in my spare time, and I love animals! I have a passion for drawing. I am currently working on a sketched family tree... A colour pencil portrait of every member of my, and my husbands families! A work in progress....

Specialties

Teaching Style

I have an adaptable fun and friendly teaching style because, in my opinion, every student is different, what works for one person might not work for another. I always aim for a student-centred or student-led approach, this could also involve coaching whilst supporting the active learning of the student. I believe it is important to allow mistakes as these help us to learn and improve. My aim is to provide an environment in which my students feel comfortable and safe using English.
