What I'm looking for

I seek remote, student-focused roles teaching adults and young learners, emphasizing personalized lessons, exam prep, and skills growth in supportive, tech-enabled environments.

I am a professional, TEFL-certified online English tutor with over 10 years of teaching experience, specializing in conversational English, business English, pronunciation, and exam preparation.

I have delivered 500+ one-on-one lessons to learners from 20+ countries using Zoom and interactive platforms, maintaining a 4.9/5 average rating and 100% positive student feedback.

I hold a Master’s Degree in Linguistics and a Bachelor’s Degree in English/Education, and I design personalized lessons using tools like Kahoot, Quizlet, Padlet, and Google Slides to improve speaking fluency and exam performance.

I am patient, culturally sensitive, and tech-savvy, with documented results including average speaking fluency improvements of 30% in 10 sessions and multiple students achieving IELTS Band 7+.
