About Me - From Language Learner to Teacher
I was born and raised in London and have always immersed myself in its rich cultural opportunities. I’ve been teaching English as a Foreign Language for over six years and have found my passion: developing and delivering lessons uniquely tailored to each student’s needs.

​

As a teenager, I became an avid reader of both fiction and non-fiction. By 18, I spent countless hours in libraries exploring a wide variety of books. This love of reading sparked my fascination with English and planted the idea of becoming a teacher.
 

I first tried teaching myself French but struggled — c’est la vie! Italian, however, was a different story. By adjusting my learning techniques, I became fluent — Daje! Later, I learned Spanish and eventually learned French, turning past struggles into success.
These experiences of trial, error, and eventual success gave me firsthand insight into the challenges of learning a new language.
 

I completed my CELTA Teaching Qualification in 2019. And today, I bring all these experiences into my teaching. I am patient and adaptable, creating lessons that help students build confidence, improve fluency, and achieve long-term success. I understand the frustrations of learning a language, and I use that understanding to design lessons that are engaging, effective, and tailored to each student’s journey.​​​​​

Through encouragement and praise, I help young learners develop motivation and a lifelong love of English.

Education

2018
CELTA - Teaching English as a Foreign Language - St Giles International

This was my first formal introduction to the traditional teaching methods used when teaching English as a Foreign Language. A very intense course where I gained a solid foundation from which to start my career.

​

Since then and through my own experience of language learning and teaching, I am continually researching better, more efficient approaches to improve the learner’s experience.

2017
Master's Degree (MS) in Library & Information Science - City St George's, University of London

This master's degree lead to a job as a researcher in a top 10 City of London Law Firm. As fascinating and immensely rewarding that this role was, I decided to follow my desire to teach English. My time at the Law Firm also gave me valuable insights into the specific requirements for those learning English for a corporate environment.

Languages

 I draw on my own language learning experience to create higher-quality lessons. This helps students reach greater fluency, sustain long-term success, and fully integrate skills into their lessons.
