Starting my teaching career 14 years ago, was, without a doubt, the best decision I have ever made professionally. It has given me the opportunity to work in a diverse range of environments, from helping young learners to improve their academic skills as well as their internal cognitive processes, to preparing students of all ages for the A2, B1, B2 and C1 Cambridge exams. Having recently taught various nationalities from all over Europe in the UK, I feel the way forward is through an interactive approach, which enables students to maximise their speaking potential whilst learning in a creative way. My ethos is all about the students wellbeing through empathy, patience and understanding. By allowing a student's true essence to shine through, it also respects diverse talents and ways of learning, which also provides the best connection between the teacher and the learner.
