I've spent the last 17 years teaching internationally in Ireland, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, China, Vietnam, Mexico, and Malawi, as well as working extensively online. During that time, I've helped students of all ages — from teenagers to working professionals — develop the confidence to use English naturally in real-life situations.

I'm a PGCE-qualified teacher and a native English speaker with a clear, neutral accent. I also hold degrees in Computer Science and Business and have experience teaching Cambridge, AP, and IB programmes. This background allows me to bring a structured, practical approach to English coaching, focusing on communication skills that students can use immediately.

Whether you want to improve your speaking confidence, communicate more effectively at work, prepare for IELTS, or use English more comfortably while travelling, lessons are designed around your personal goals — not a fixed textbook or one-size-fits-all course.
