About me

Some children need a teacher who is not only clear and structured, but also sensitive to how confidence, emotions, and communication affect learning. My lessons are designed to help young learners and teenagers improve English in a calm, thoughtful, and supportive way.

My background combines CELTA-certified English teaching with training as a trauma psychotherapist. I have taught in China, including work with children and teenagers, and I have experience supporting students from different cultural and educational backgrounds. This helps me create lessons that respect each learner’s personality, confidence level, and learning rhythm.

In class, I can help with British English, grammar development, listening comprehension, phonetics, reading comprehension, speaking practice, vocabulary development, and writing correction. My lessons are suitable for beginner, upper beginner, intermediate, upper intermediate, advanced, and upper advanced students.

For older learners, I can also support academic English, colloquial English, IELTS, and TOEFL preparation. My goal is to help students feel safe enough to try, confident enough to speak, and supported enough to keep improving step by step.
