Hello. I'm a native English speaker from the UK. I live in Bulgaria and am a keen student of Bulgarian. I've been working as a professional teacher of English since 2005. Since 2010, I've mostly taught online. I'm a very experienced teacher who can adapt lessons to your needs and interests and make them fun. I can help you to build your skills and confidence in English in a supportive and friendly environment.
Me as a Teacher
I'm an English native speaker who graduated with a degree in English.
I qualified as a teacher in 2005. After that, I worked in a branch of a large international language school for 7 years, teaching General and Business English to adults.
Since 2010, I've been teaching online, and I've taught thousands of lessons and hundreds of students.
I now specialise in teaching General English and in IELTS preparation.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are very student-focused because, in this way, you will learn the language that you need, not the language that a text book thinks you need. All lessons are speaking classes. So, whether we are working on reading, listening, writing or grammar, the focus of the session will be making you speak. I use a wide range of materials depending on your interests. I also provide lots of advice on how you can improve your English between lessons so that you can become a motivated and independent learner.
Claire is supportive and motivating. I am very honored to have her with me.

Claire is my favourite teacher. Speaking English with her is always comfortable and a bit challenging, just enough to make a tiny improvement after each lesson.

Claire is an amazing teacher. She provided a detailed guidance to make my English more authentic and natural. I like the idea that I should incorporate various type of related tenses to my speaking, express emotion/feeling in English in a more profound level, and to structure my speaking to sound more professional and formal especially in part 3 IELTS
