I especially enjoy working with children and teenagers, helping them not only improve their English but also become more confident using the language. I have completed a specialised course in teaching English to children and teenagers, which has helped me better understand the needs of younger learners and create lessons that are appropriate for their age, level and interests. At the same time, I also enjoy working with adult students — whether their goal is to improve their conversational English, prepare for an exam, travel, move to an English-speaking country, or feel more confident using English in everyday life. I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable speaking English, making mistakes and learning at their own pace. That is why my lessons are friendly, engaging and tailored to each individual student. I create personalised lessons based on each student’s goals, level, interests and learning pace. 📚 What Can We Work On? 🗣️ Conversational English Improve your fluency, confidence and ability to communicate naturally in real-life situations. 👧 English for Children & Teenagers Fun and interactive lessons adapted to the student’s age and level. I use games, engaging topics, activities and real-life situations to make English enjoyable and encourage young learners to actively use the language. 🌍 English for Everyday Life, Travel & Moving Abroad Practical lessons for anyone who wants to feel confident in an English-speaking country — including airports, shops, restaurants, schools, universities, workplaces and everyday conversations. 🎓 Exam Preparation Preparation for IELTS, as well as developing and consolidating English skills at A1, A2, B1, B2 and C1 levels. 📖 Grammar & Vocabulary Clear explanations of grammar and practical vocabulary building, with plenty of opportunities to use new language. 📚 Reading & Reading Comprehension Work with a variety of texts to improve comprehension, vocabulary and the ability to understand and analyse information. 🎯 English for Specific Goals Lessons tailored to your individual needs — whether you are learning English for education, moving abroad, travelling, everyday communication, professional purposes or personal development. 🔤 CLIL — Content and Language Integrated Learning A teaching approach where English is learned through interesting subjects and topics. For example, instead of studying English only through traditional exercises, we can discuss science, history, culture or other topics in English. This allows students to develop their language skills while using English naturally in context. 🌟 My Teaching Approach I believe English is best learned when students actively use the language, rather than simply memorising rules. That is why I combine grammar and vocabulary with conversation practice, real-life situations, interesting topics and activities tailored to each student. With children and teenagers, I place particular emphasis on making lessons fun, varied and motivating, while with adult learners I focus on making lessons as practical and relevant to their real-life goals as possible. My goal is to create a comfortable environment where every student feels confident enough to speak, make mistakes and gradually become more confident in English. I look forward to meeting you and helping you — or your child — improve your English and feel confident using it in real life!
