About Me

Helping committed language learners to excel at IELTS and Cambridge Assessment English.
I'm a qualified English teacher from Ireland, and I have been working in the English Language teaching field for 25 years. As an online English Teacher, I specialise in exams preparation, Business English, and and fluency development.
As the mother of four bilingual Greek/Irish children, I must say that teaching is my purpose in life, both professionally and personally. I teach through a creative multi-media approach that allows students to excel on multiple levels.Me as a Teacher
Moving my work online inspired me to get involved in educational blogging, teacher training, and lifelong professional development. As such, my work is the result of much research into the psychology of learning, as well as hands-on experience with multi-media technology.
As a lifelong learner, I am always experimenting with new ways to learn and teach. The most important thing, however, is communication and rapport. I build confidence in my students and inspire them through communicative challenges.
I have prepared students all over the world for:
English examinations: Cambridge, Michigan, IELTS, TOEFL.
English for Academic Purposes.
Business English.

Sylvia is an excellent teacher I have ever met. She always provide abundant learning materials for my courses and guidance for self learning. If you need, there can be some homework, which are highly related to the topics during the class. Sylvia is a professional teacher with patience and always encourage you to talk more and correct your mistakes in suitable ways. You won’t miss such a good teacher! If you cannot find a suitable slot on her timetable, just connect with her directly.
