About Me

Hi! I'm Emily and I'm from the UK. I'm an English teacher in Bangkok, Thailand!
I teach IELTS, English as a first language and second language.

I studied Modern Foreign Languages at Durham University before completing my PGCE at the University of Cambridge. I taught MFL in a Secondary school in Hertfordshire before moving internationally, where I have taught English for the last four years. I love travelling, learning new languages and exploring new cultures. I lived in Penang, Malaysia for 2 years and I am currently living in Bangkok, Thailand. I have travelled to many places in South East Asia and my dream is to live in Japan!

Experience / Qualifications

I primarily focus on teaching students with English as a second or additional language. My main areas of expertise are ESL IGCSE and IELTS. I currently plan, examine and teach to these exams at an International school in Thailand.

I have experience teaching languages to a range of age groups: from primary school children to adults. During my Year Abroad, I taught English to primary school students as British Council Language Assistant in Orleans, France. I then worked in a private language school in Florence, Italy, teaching teenagers and adults. During my final year at University, I tutored GCSE French and Italian online.
I completed my PGCE in 2017 and taught languages in the UK before moving to Penang, Malaysia. I have taught iGCSE ESL for 3 years and IELTS for 2 years.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

My teaching approach focuses on making English learning engaging, interactive, and personalised to each student's needs. I believe that the best way to improve a language is through consistent practice, real-life conversations, and building confidence in communication rather than simply memorising grammar rules.

My Teaching Methods

I use a combination of conversational practice, grammar exercises, vocabulary development, pronunciation improvement, and interactive activities. My goal is to create a comfortable learning environment where students feel confident speaking English, asking questions, and learning from their mistakes.

What a Typical Lesson Looks Like

Each lesson begins with a short conversation to practise speaking and review previous topics. We then focus on a specific area of improvement, such as grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, or academic English. Lessons include practical exercises, discussions, and personalised feedback to help students recognise their strengths and areas for improvement.

What Makes My Lessons Different

As a university student studying Business Management with Business Analytics at Lancaster University Leipzig, I understand the importance of effective English communication in academic, professional, and everyday situations. Having studied in an English-speaking educational environment, I aim to make lessons practical, enjoyable, and relevant to real-life experiences.

Who Are My Lessons For?

My lessons are suitable for secondary school students, university students, and adults with a basic to advanced understanding of English (A2–C1). Whether you're preparing for school exams, improving your academic writing, developing professional communication skills, or simply looking to become more fluent and confident, I will adapt the lessons to your individual learning goals.

All lessons are conducted entirely in English to encourage immersion and help students develop natural communication skills.
