I am an English language teacher with a strong academic background and a love of languages. I enjoy helping people to develop their ability to use English in different contexts. I speak British English and I have an appreciation of other varieties of English, sometimes referred to as ‘Global Englishes’, as well as the use of English as a ‘lingua franca’ or common language. I have experience of learning languages myself, which I really enjoy. I hope that you will enjoy English lessons with me.

I have the internationally recognised Cambridge CELTA qualification in English language teaching. This means I have been trained in the ‘communicative approach’ to language teaching. This approach is based on the idea that the best way for us to learn a language is through using it in communication that is meaningful for us. I aim to personalise your lessons so that they relate to your reasons for learning English and your wider interests. I am teaching English to those learning for professional reasons or academic study as well as those learning for personal reasons or holidays. I am able to teach all levels from beginner to advanced (CEFR Levels A1-C2). I usually teach adults. I have studied social sciences to PhD level and have experience of working in universities as a researcher, including giving tutorials. I have also worked as a professional proofreader.
