About me:
My areas of expertise are academic support and IELTS test preparation.
My philosophy is in two parts: give students clear guidance and structure but at the same time develop independence and assertiveness. I also strongly believe that succeeding in a language is about developing positive learning habits, which I instill in all of my students from the very start.
I love my job, and I especially like the satisfaction I receive from seeing my students attain their goals and move on to bigger things in their lives. I can guide you through to your goals by simplifying the complex world of tests and academic papers.
Let me help make your learning experience the productive and empowering experience it should be.
