About me

You know how sometimes learning English can feel a little stressful, like you're being judged on every word or grammar mistake? Well, in my classes, I try to make it feel the complete opposite. When you walk in—or log in—you should feel like you’re joining a friendly conversation rather than a lesson. three years teaching experience in class, and one thing I’ve learned is that people learn best when they feel relaxed, supported, and understood. So that’s the atmosphere I always try to create. In my classes, we don’t just memorize rules or repeat boring exercises. Instead, we focus on real-life English—the kind you actually use when you travel, make friends, or work with international colleagues. We talk about things that interest you: your daily life, your hobbies, your goals, and sometimes even the funny or frustrating things about learning a new language. When you’re genuinely interested in the topic, the language becomes much easier to learn. I also pay a lot of attention to confidence. I’ve noticed that many learners actually know more English than they think—they just feel nervous to use it. So I give you plenty of space to speak, try new words, and make mistakes without pressure. Mistakes are a natural part of learning, and honestly, they often make the best teaching moments. When you feel comfortable experimenting with language, your progress becomes faster and much more enjoyable. Of course, we also work on pronunciation, vocabulary building, and grammar, but I teach those in a simple, practical way. Instead of long explanations, we practice through conversation, short activities, and examples from everyday situations. I want you to understand why English works the way it does, not just memorize rules. Every lesson is personalized. If you tell me you want to improve your conversation skills, we focus on that. If you need English for work or travel, we shape the lessons around those goals. My job is to help you feel confident and capable, not overwhelm you. By the end of each class, my hope is that you feel like you’ve not only learned something new, but also enjoyed the process. Learning English should feel exciting—not stressful—and I’m here to help you every step of the way.
