Heather
Hi, I’m Heather — a certified TEFL/TESOL English teacher with over 8 years of experience helping children and adults speak English with confidence.
I hold a 250-hour Expert TEFL/TESOL Diploma, a Teaching Online Specialist Certificate, and vocational qualifications in Child Day-care and Developmental Psychology. This background allows me to create structured, supportive lessons that are tailored to how each student learns best — whether they’re a young learner or a working professional.
🌟 Who I work with
I specialize in:
Young learners (ages 5–12) — helping children build strong foundations in English through engaging, patient, and confidence-boosting lessons.
Business professionals — improving communication skills for meetings, presentations, interviews, and everyday workplace conversations.
🎯 How my lessons help you
My lessons are:
Personalized to your goals and learning style.
Supportive, structured, and engaging.
Focused on real progress — not just grammar, but confidence and fluency.
I believe learning should feel encouraging and enjoyable, while still being effective. My students often tell me they feel more confident speaking English after just a few lessons.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, traveling, and learning about different cultures — and I bring that curiosity and creativity into every class.
Whether you’re a parent looking for a patient, qualified teacher for your child, or a professional ready to communicate more confidently in English, I’d love to support your learning journey.
