Lisa
Hello!
Hi there, my name is Lisa. I live in England and am a native speaker. I hope to offer you a friendly and relaxed atmosphere to learn in. We can work together on general conversation, vocabulary, and pronunciation. I have 120 hour TEFL certificate, which allows me to teach English to students from all over the world. Hopefully, our chats will help you gain a better understanding of the English language. I have a BA Honours in fashion design. My job took me all over the world, and I would often find myself giving English lessons to the crew I worked with. I have a small online business which I have run for many years, selling clothing, leather products and textiles. Sometimes importing from India and China. I really enjoy connecting with and helping people. I'll look forward to learning all about you and your culture. Hope we get a chance to chat soon. Bye for now :)
After the completion of my BA Hons degree, I moved to London to work as a clothing designer. My job offered a lot of overseas travel. This was the beginning of my worldly education. I worked in a lot of different countries, communicating with fabric technicians, pattern cutters, and QC. I often found myself helping people with their English language skills. I learned a lot about our beautiful planet and its people, different cultures, traditions, and history. My love for travel grew,and I went on to travel Asia, America, India, and Africa several times. Often I found myself in situations where I couldn't speak the native language and the locals couldn't speak English either, I learned lots of ways of communicating. People like to connect on lots of levels and a heart felt smile goes such a long way, learning a few key words can really transform your experience. I've even used a stick to draw in the sand. In India I worked in an orphanage supporting homeless children. In America I became a stewardess sailing around the south of Florida and The Keys. I made Turkey my home for 6 years living in a muslin community. I learned a lot about the kindness of the Turkish people. For me life is a journey. Never stop learning and sharing.

Teaching Style
I am passionate about helping people. If you have basic knowledge of the language, are a beginner or intermediate level I can help you progress. I prefer not to teach advanced English classes and am not a grammar expert. Learning a new language is very exciting, but can be a daunting task. I like to offer a safe space to chat. I am very kind and patient. Please ask me any questions you have. Making mistakes is part of the process. I hope to offer you a conversation that will help you improve your current English language skills. My goal, to help you speak fluently in English in business, in the work place or at school. Thank you for reading my profile.
