About Me

*Currently accepting new students*
I have 17 years teaching experience - in the classroom and online, and 20 in Tourism/Visitor Management. I love the outdoors and travel, especially walking, nature, the coast and countryside.
I've also lived in London and overseas, and love exploring towns, cities and culture, both locally & further afield, including in Hong Kong & The Netherlands.
Meeting and teaching students worldwide and learning about your country, culture, customs and language story too is a real joy for me :-)
An enthusiastic and committed teacher, I welcome motivated and committed students of all backgrounds. Do book a 30 minute Trial lesson ~ I look forward to meeting you!Me as a Teacher
🚶🏽♀ 'Language learning is a marathon not a sprint!'
I'm patient, friendly and flexible and want you to feel relaxed and enjoy our lessons. I value getting to know students as individuals. I’m a highly experienced TEFL qualified online teacher and former classroom teacher.
I like to understand why you're learning English, what your approximate current level is, and how I can best support you to cover your learning priorities and achieve your goals.
I will happily offer regular and positive, but honest feedback as we go !
Please book a 30 minute lesson initially, which can lead to further lessons/packages.My lessons & teaching style
* Currently accepting new students*
I try to work in ways which support your learning best through eg conversation, using materials to read/discuss to extend your vocabulary and strengthen your sentence construction, or specific activities to support your grammar. Learning (and teaching!) should be interesting and fun :-)
We can agree your preferred ways of learning and focus together.
I have many long term, regular students, but new students are welcome too!
Please book a 30 minute first lesson.

Annette is a delightful person. We had an engaging conversation during our first trial lesson, discussed my goals and mapped out a plan for future sessions. I’m looking forward to our next lesson!
