What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a role that allows me to inspire and empower learners while fostering a supportive and engaging environment.

I'm an English language teacher with a passion for making learning meaningful, relevant, and enjoyable. My teaching style is student-centered and interest-driven, whether I'm guiding a teenager through real-world conversation topics or helping adults gain confidence in business or everyday English. I tailor every lesson to fit the learner.

Before transitioning into teaching, I worked in the field of life coaching and personal development. This background continues to influence my approach: I aim not only to teach a language but to inspire confidence, curiosity, and self-expression in my students. I believe learning is a holistic journey that flourishes when students feel heard, engaged, and empowered.

With a calm, intuitive teaching style and a flair for making lessons fun and interactive, I create a space where language can be both practical and transformative. Whether you’re learning English for work, travel, study, or self-growth—I'm here to help you enjoy the journey and express yourself naturally.
