Hi everyone, I'm Aeva. I'm genuinely passionate about English, I love teaching, and I love meeting new people from other cultures! In my spare time I'm a performance poet and write short stories. I also love dancing, drumming, gardening, crafts, cooking, and travelling!
Me as a Teacher
I have taught more than 4,000 English lessons to more than 6,000 students since Oct 2019, on various platforms and privately. I have consistently amazing feedback from students, with many becoming regulars (and friends!), and lots saying I am the best teacher they've ever had!
I'm very friendly and encouraging and put even the shyest students at ease. I provide instant correction and feedback on grammar, vocabulary, British pronunciation, and I will help you to find the most natural way to express your ideas clearly. I will work with you to identify your unique learning goals, and find materials you are interested in, to help you achieve whatever it is you need from your English classes.My lessons & teaching style
I use a variety of teaching methodologies in my lessons, primarily Communicative Language Teaching (CLT) - helping my students achieve fluency by improving your ability to communicate in real life contexts, unique to your individual circumstances.
Together with grammar practice when appropriate, I will help you structure your spoken (and written, if required) English correctly, to enable you express your personal ideas and experiences clearly and naturally.
My lessons are challenging but fun! I use authentic, relevant, high quality, interesting and current materials from a wide range of sources. I am an open, friendly and flexible person, and I genuinely care deeply about my students.My teaching material

Bachelor’s - Steiner Waldorf EducationFirst Class Honours
Steiner Education is an alternative theory of education, which places importance on 'whole body' learning - engaging students artistically as well as academically, to facilitate a deeper learning experience.
Please note that in 2019 I changed my name legally in court by what is known in the UK as a Deed Poll, so my degree certificate is in my old name - I am the same person!

Aeva is such a patient, experienced instructor and I am really happy to have a lesson with of her. She has been sharing a interesting reading material which I learned a plenty of vocabulary, phrasal verbs and idioms from them. We have been working together to improve my conversational skills, She provides me quite some opportunity to talk during the lesson and along with valuable feedback. It is fun and beneficial to have lesson with her.
