About Me
I teach piano; singing and English.
I am an empathetic, considerate and humorous teacher with a strong work ethic and a committed approach to teaching. It is of utmost importance to adapt learning methodologies to suit my student’s learning requirements. I simplify theoretical concepts and apply them to practical situations.
I have learnt a new language and immerse myself in a new culture. I understand first-hand how daunting learning a new language can be. As for preparing for exams, I've been there, done that too. I have mastered good pronunciation of Italian, German and Spanish when learning foreign language vocal repertoire.
Together it is possible to achieve your goal!

Every person has their own unique way of learning. Your lessons with me are an opportunity to learn English in a supportive, non-judgmental and empathetic environment. We will focus on exactly what you need to gain; learning at your pace; achieving your goals. Lesson times are quality time for you. It is amazing how much you learn in a conducive environment.
We can work on developing grammar, vocabulary, writing or speaking skills.
Do you need English for work, or travel, studying for school exams or university entrance tests? We can work towards any of these goals. All materials will be provided by email. You won’t need to spend time writing lots of notes but rather on having enjoyable and highly productive lessons.
Any age or level is welcome. I have taught children from 4 years of age to adults of 72 years of age; one-to-one lessons or in pairs or small groups.
Classes are conducted online via WhatsApp or Zoom.
In our first online lesson, I would like to find out a little bit about yourself and your reasons for needing English lessons. When I know what you wish to achieve, I can adapt the lesson materials to focus on exactly what you want to do.
I am a TefL accredited English teacher with 16 years of experience teaching one-to-one lessons. I hold three university degrees. I have personal experience learning a new language and can therefore be empathetic in my teaching style as I know how daunting and tough it can be. My aim is to make learning English as easy and uncomplicated as possible for you.
