Hello! My name is Sharna and I’m from the UK. I have around 9 years of experience in public relations, marketing, media, and content writing. I graduated with a 2:1 in English literature and journalism BA Hons and I also spent two years living in Toronto, Canada where I worked with many international people and started to learn French, which I now speak at a B2 level. So, I understand that speaking a new language can be a bit scary sometimes!
Me as a Teacher
As a teacher I am very patient, friendly and informal. Learning a language should be fun and it’s really important to feel like your personality shines through even when you speak your second language. I like to tailor my lessons to suit a student's interests. To start with, I'll learn more about you and your interests to better shape your lessons. If there is a particular subject that you would like to learn or revise vocabulary about, let me know and I’ll plan a lesson all about it!
My lessons & teaching style
How can I help to improve your English? Through informal conversation, listening to music, reading articles, and reading stories together. I have a clear speaking voice and will adjust my pace to suit your level.
What’s more, I’ll also share the English words that you didn’t learn at school such as idioms, expressions, and slang from the US, UK, and Canada. I like to provide students with examples of varying accents speaking so we will also explore Anglophone content spoken by North American, British, Irish, and Scottish accents.
I can also use my professional experience to teach students about English literature, journalism, and communications.

I had another great lesson! Sharna is so supportive and flexible. Her way of teaching is so personalised and impressive. She gives you a natural learning and speaking environment. You want to talk more and improve your language skills.

Sharma is the only teacher I’d recommend a few minutes after the first lesson. She’s extremely empathetic and makes you stress less but do your thing. Looking forward to having the next lesson!
