I was born and raised in London, and am an enthusiastic lover of the English language and culture. Growing up in London has made me feel like a citizen of the world rather than a specific country. I've lived all my life surrounded by people of literally every culture and background imaginable. I am a people person and so love to engage and learn about new ways of life and thinking. Side note, I LOVE singing and am very passionate about all kinds of music, especially jazz and soul. I am very interested in psychology, history and philosophy and many more things! I am a practising Yogi and a Yoga Instructor in my spare time.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I am very aware and sensitive to the challenges posed by English pronunciation, grammar and idiom. I am also very switched on to the specific aspects of English that are challenging for speakers of particular languages, in regards to sounds and rules not existing in some languages. My main goal is to make you feel comfortable enough to make mistakes and have fun whilst improving your English speaking skills!
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I mainly offer conversational classes as this is the most important and efficient way of learning a language as you have to engage in a live discussion and you are offered the opportunity at immediate understanding and replying. I believe the best way to learn a language is by throwing yourself in the deep end and learning to feel confident in expressing yourself as early as possible; this aids progress much faster than studying technicalities. It is more relaxed and natural for the learner.
Olivia is an exceptional teacher on the iTalki platform. Our conversations span a wide range of topics, from history and culture to religion and philosophy. She has a unique ability to encourage students to express themselves, creating a comfortable environment for open dialogue. Under her guidance, not only has my English fluency improved, but my confidence in speaking has soared. I highly recommend Olivia to anyone looking to enhance their language skills in a holistic and engaging manner.

After having over 50 lessons with Olivia, I can confidently say that she's one of the nicest people I've ever met. One hour is usually not enough. We can talk about anything and I learned and discovered so many things thanks to our lessons. I'm always looking forward to what the next one will bring.

Talking to Olivia was a pleasure. I got exactly what I needed, out of my time with her: free-flowing conversation, an exchange of opinions, and all the practice I could wish for. We went through a ton of topics, from our respective life experiences to current affairs in various parts of the world. I'm looking forward to my next chat with her.
