I have been consistently rated as an 'Outstanding' tutor (Exceeding Expectations) in teaching observations which demonstrates my passion for education and dedication to excellence.

Individual, one-to-one training often results in greatly accelerated learning. I believe that personalised attention and learner-centred tutoring can make a significant impact on your English skills, whether you are preparing for exams, or simply aiming to improve your current abilities.

All of my sessions are tailor-made, allowing me to design the course contents and materials based on your individual educational requirements and aims. I am dedicated to creating an environment that promotes your growth, development, and success.
