I support learners preparing for IELTS, CAE, and other exams, offering coaching in grammar, written work corrections, and conversational fluency with a particular focus on pronunciation.

My goal is to empower your communication skills to the highest level. I’ll also help you practice independently with daily exercises and written tasks to keep improving outside our lessons.My lessons & teaching style
Some students prefer conversation, while others focus on grammar. I tailor lessons to your needs, ensuring they’re both fun and effective. My goal is to elevate your vocabulary and expression, both written and verbal.
I use custom learning materials I’ve written provided when needed to help you grow. Together, we’ll work on clarity, focusing on breathing, intonation, linking, and blending words to enhance fluency.My teaching material
