About me

A well-planned English lesson should match the student, not force every learner into the same method. My classes are built around each student’s needs, with clear goals, personal feedback, and lessons designed to help learners improve step by step.

I am a native British English speaker with a strong background in language learning and teaching. I studied Modern Languages at university and completed Cambridge CELTA training, which gave me a practical foundation in teaching English to students of different ages and levels. I have spent many years teaching English in Colombia, working with business, university, school, and private students.

For young learners and teenagers, I can help with British English, pronunciation, grammar, listening, reading, speaking, vocabulary, phonetics, and writing correction. My lessons are suitable for beginner, upper beginner, intermediate, upper intermediate, advanced, and upper advanced students.

For older students, I can also support academic English, business English, colloquial English, interview preparation, legal English, medical English, and exam preparation for ACT, CAE, CPE, FCE, IELTS, OET, SAT, TOEFL, and TOEIC. My goal is to make lessons relevant, organized, and engaging, so students feel supported and make real progress.
