Interests: I am a teacher who loves to travel, hike, read, spend time in nature, and eat a lot 😀. I have lived in the UK, Canada, Spain, Argentina and Colombia and have travelled a lot in Europe and South America. I speak fluent Spanish and want to learn to dance Salsa.

Education, working with adults and children, and sharing my love of languages, science and culture are my greatest passions. I have tutored English to dozens of Chinese students hoping to study in the UK, I have been an English Professor in one of the best language academies in Valencia, Spain, and I’ve helped a Psychologist reach her goal of English fluency. I have a huge amount of experience working online and in person with students of all levels and age groups.

My top tip for learners of English is find something you enjoy! If you love watching movies, then watch them in English with subtitles to help you. If you love books, try them in English. Listen to music or podcasts in English, or practise conversations with friends. If you find a way to practise that you enjoy, it will feel like less of a chore, keep you motivated and it will really help you to boost your English!
