    About me

    Hi, my name is Helen and I am a certified English teacher with 15+ years experience. I lived in Spain for 7 years where I taught conversational English to adults and in Iraq for 12 years where I taught in international schools. Learning is easier when it is fun so I focus on student-centred and interactive methods that encourage student engagement and participation. I enjoy reading, history and learning about different culltures so teaching English as a foreign language is great as I too am learning as I interact with people from diverse backgrounds and cultures.


    I am a certified TEFL teacher with 15+ years of teaching experience. I also have a Bachelor's degree from University College London. I have experience of teaching individuals, small groups and classes of up to 30 students including some with learning difficulties. Some of my students came to me without any English at all, while older students had some command of English and wanted to focus on conversational skills. My approach to teaching focuses on student-centred methods that promote active learning and interactive methods which encourage discussion and active participation.


    Let's embark on an exciting journey together! Learning English can be fun and engaging. I’m here to make every lesson enjoyable, helping you thrive while we explore the language and cultures together. Get ready to participate and shine!

      After several classes, I can say that I feel very comfortable with her. In my case, Helen has focused from the beginning on polishing those things I had more difficulty with and has helped me raise my level in the rest. I feel that she prepares her classes for each student. I totally recommend her.

      I can't recommend Helen enough! She is a very knowledgeable and motivating teacher. Her empathetic approach makes every speaking session a pleasure; we talk about everything from news and work to travel and food. If you want to level up your English, she is the one!

      In the first lesson, Helen had me read my favourite book, Harry Potter. It might simple or even a little boring, but it works well for me. I love it because she corrects my pronunciations. Since I don’t speak English naturally, we also have casual conversations, which helps me a lot for trying my best to found right words to explain what I thought.

      Helen helped me become familiar with the English language and gradually allowed me to become more confident in speaking. Her teaching method is very simple: talk and talk until you become more confident with the words. I am very happy I chose Helen!
