With a passion for teaching English, I offer tutoring in ESL, IELTS, and English for students of all levels. I currently reside in France with my family.

I believe in personalized learning to cater to individual needs and learning styles. Through interactive and practical lessons, I aim to enhance not only language skills but also critical thinking and communication abilities. Let's embark on a journey of language learning together!

There are many frameworks that I could use to support you with different interests, abilities and learning styles.
