I am a native English speaker from near Brighton in the UK. My accent is neutral and very easy to understand. I live in England, but have lived all over the world including Vietnam, Thailand and Italy.
My hobbies include; cooking, socializing, eating, gym, travelling, reading, movies and sailing.

I can help with the following:

I love helping people improve their English, so I became an English teacher.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are relaxed and friendly. I feel that people learn better if I try and keep things fun.
Lessons are very practical. They are an opportunity for you to use your English, practice and improve upon what you already know.
I am always there to support and offer help and suggestions. However, most of my students need to practice using their English and this is what I try to encourage.
My teaching style is relaxed, friendly and supportive. I always try to keep my lessons as fun as possible.
