I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week.

I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.

My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.

I can teach English to kids using a fun and educational way. I will make sure to keep their attention focused and teach all speaking, reading, and writing. It will be one-on-one, so I will focus directly on them and ensure they understand everything I explain to them fully. I will use the direct method, where I will only speak in English and not their native language so they will get used to the listening aspect.

In this class I help kids learn math and science in a fun and easy way. I explain things step by step and use games, examples, and simple activities so everything is easier to understand. The goal is to help students feel more confident, ask questions, and enjoy learning math and science. It is about understanding how things work, learning how to think logically, and enjoying the process of learning. I adapt my teaching to the needs of each child and encourage curiosity, creativity and independent thinking.
