Hello!

Hi there! Thank you for looking at my profile. I was born, live, and work in London and English is my native language. However, coming from an Indian heritage I also speak Urdu. I have over 25 years administration experience working in England's National Health Service, including as a corporate Personal Assistant supporting senior hospital staff in various London hospitals. Working in these busy environments has gifted me the skill to communicate with a very diverse group of people, understanding their needs and enhancing my own communication skills.

I am very much drawn to the diversity of life and I have many interests which I can talk freely about with you. I love to travel to experience different cultures, in particular I really enjoy the Far East visiting many times. I love all sorts of food, enjoying cooking a variety of international meals and baking also. I am an active gardener and I am learning to grow my own vegetables. I try to lead a healthy life with good food, regular yoga and running outside twice a week. I am also creative as an iPhone photographer capturing the diversity of life, I love street art as well as classic art you find in art galleries. Films are something we all enjoy and I am no different enjoying a wide subject range with some Indian films also.

Teaching Style

Although learning English is a very important skill to gain and improve on, it doesn't have to be serious or challenging, but can be fun! My teaching style is open, relaxed, supportive and encouraging. I am a natural and warm communicator, speaking clearly, slowly and having great listening skills. I will be flexible to your individual needs, being happy to provide a more grammatical approach, or spend our time having a relaxed conversation.
