As an educator with over a decade of teaching experience across primary, middle, upper school, and adult learners, I bring a global perspective and a deep commitment to lifelong learning into every classroom I enter. Having taught in five different countries and immersed myself in a variety of cultures and educational systems, I understand firsthand the importance of adaptability, empathy, and culturally responsive teaching.

My teaching philosophy is grounded in the belief that knowledge is power, and sharing that knowledge is my power. I strive to empower my students not only through academic instruction but also by nurturing their curiosity, encouraging critical thinking, and fostering a respectful understanding of different cultures and viewpoints. I see education as a collaborative journey — one where teacher and student grow together through dialogue, exploration, and reflection.

Language and communication are central to my practice. I speak basic French, Spanish, Greek, and German, which allows me to connect with students of varied linguistic backgrounds and to model the value of multilingualism in a globalized world. My multicultural experience has taught me that meaningful education transcends textbooks — it’s about connecting ideas to the real world, respecting diversity, and building bridges of understanding.

Whether I am teaching young learners or adults, my goal is the same: to create a safe, inclusive, and stimulating environment where every student feels seen, heard, and valued. I tailor my lessons to the needs and interests of my students, using real-world examples, technology, and intercultural references to make learning relevant and engaging.

Ultimately, I aim to inspire students to see learning not as a task, but as a gateway to opportunity — and to leave my classroom not only more informed, but more curious, confident, and compassionate than when they entered.

With over 10 years of teaching experience, a BA, and TEFL certification, I approach education as a personal journey—one that is most effective when it's rooted in relevance, authenticity, and student engagement.

My teaching philosophy centers on guiding each student toward their own unique goals, using their interests and personal motivations as the foundation for meaningful learning. I don’t just teach English as it’s prescribed in textbooks; I teach it as it’s actually spoken and used — in real life, in business, in culture, and in everyday conversation. English should serve the learner, not the other way around.

I design lessons that help learners move beyond grammar rules and into confident, natural expression. Whether working with primary students, teenagers, or adults, I tailor content to reflect real-world communication — lively, idiomatic, and human. Through conversation, curiosity, and context, I help students not only learn English but own it.

Learning with me is not about memorizing — it’s about connecting: connecting language to purpose, to personality, and to the world.

Forget how school taught you English — let’s focus on how people actually speak, in real life and in real business. No stiff textbooks, no confusing grammar drills. Just real conversations, real language, and real confidence.

English is weird. Sometimes it's stupid. Trust me — I’ve taught it for over 10 years around the world. But I’ll help you make sense of it. I’ll show you how to speak naturally, clearly, and with purpose.

Whether you need English for travel, work, or just to feel more confident in conversation, I’ll make it less confusing and more you.

Let’s chat. Let’s learn. Let’s laugh.

Because English doesn’t have to be boring — it just has to work.
