I’m originally from Scotland and now I’m living la dolce vita in Italy! 🇮🇹 I've been passionate about teaching English since 2000, and since 2020, I’ve been connecting with students worldwide through italki! With over 20 years of experience, I've had the joy of teaching students of all ages and levels. 🎈 I love working with children of all ages, instilling confidence, and fostering a love for language learning. It’s incredibly rewarding to help them prepare for their bright futures! 🎈 For over 20 years, I’ve been a Cambridge English speaking examiner for all levels. I also specialize in preparing students for Cambridge English, IELTS, and Trinity exams.

Me as a Teacher

It is important to me that the lesson is right for you. I like my lessons to be personal and specific to your objectives and needs. In the initial trial lesson, I will assess your current abilities and discover where you need to be in order to tailor the lessons to your requirements. At the same time, lessons mustn’t be boring. I want you to enjoy each lesson so be sure to tell me what interests you most. 🎈For your children, right from the first lesson I create a friendly atmosphere to make sure they feel comfortable and stimulated learning with me.🎈

My lessons & teaching style

I like using interactive exercises to practice what my students need most. I am happy to use any teaching method that best suits the learning style of my students. 🎈Kids' lessons: I have many fun interactive activities for kids, including online games, flashcards, pictures and songs. I can also prepare your child for Cambridge exams! Zoom is preferred.🎈 Exam preparation lessons: To succeed in your chosen exam, I will introduce the exam tasks and the vocabulary, grammar and skills necessary to complete the tasks successfully. General English classes: improve or maintain your level of English, we can work on vocabulary, grammar and receptive and productive skills. Homework on request.

Darina has no problem with English at school, she is a confident English speaker. She started as an absolute beginner and now it's an upper-intermediate level that she and Jennifer are working at. This is all thanks to regular lessons with Jennifer. She is a highly professional teacher and always well prepared for lessons.

Her great experience in teaching English is reflected in her deep knowledge of grammar and vocabulary, as well as her ability to explain complex concepts in a clear and accessible manner. Additionally, she corrects pronunciation errors in real time, which boosts speaking confidence. Her classes at B1 and B2 levels are well-structured, using various materials and books. I highly recommend her classes to those who wish to improve their English.
