About me
Many children understand English better than they can speak it, especially when pronunciation feels difficult. My lessons give students a comfortable place to slow down, hear sounds clearly, practise carefully, and gain confidence using English out loud.
My teaching background is strongly connected to pronunciation, accent reduction, and communication. I have experience as an accent reduction instructor and have supported learners with spoken English, listening, grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing. I also have training in TEFL and TESOL, along with academic study in French and history.
For young learners and teenagers, I can help with American English pronunciation, phonetics, speaking practice, listening comprehension, grammar development, reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and writing correction. My lessons are best suited for intermediate, upper intermediate, advanced, and upper advanced students.
Older students can also receive support with academic English, business English, colloquial English, interview preparation, legal English, medical English, IELTS, and TOEFL. My style is patient and detail-focused. I help students notice small pronunciation and language patterns, then practise them step by step until English feels clearer, smoother, and more natural.
