Cambridge

I am a personal and professional EFL teacher/Cambridge Speaking Examiner and Teacher Trainer with nearly 20 years of teaching experience globally. My mission is to help learners reach higher levels of English through student-centred instruction and practical language use. I have lived, taught, and volunteered in Guatemala, China, Indonesia, Spain, Poland, England, Russia, and Ukraine—experiences that have deeply shaped my understanding of how different nationalities approach English as a second language. This international perspective allows me to tailor my teaching to the specific linguistic and cultural challenges students face, helping them overcome common pitfalls and build real-world communicative confidence. My teaching practice incorporates a wide range of methodologies, with a strong emphasis on the communicative approach. Additionally, I regularly lead teacher training sessions, design syllabi, and create assessment materials to support academic development within schools.

Cambridge

I'm an experienced EFL teacher and Cambridge Speaking Examiner. During the last 14 years, I've helped +500 students reach their goals, either being admitted to Universities, taking their careers to the next level, or moving abroad. After the first contact with the students, an important step to understand their needs and any specific deadline, I design a study plan and tailor the next classes in order to work on both necessary improvement and to highlight outstanding skills which are crucial to successfully secure students' ambitions. But no one class will be like another: after a BA's and a MA's degrees in Linguistics, and a Specialization course in Neuropsychopedagogy, I see language and fluency as a bridge that connects different cultures. This can-do attitude allowed me to teach abroad and become a Cambridge Examiner, and I'm confident that you'll love the experience of an empowered, self-centred, and strategically yet psychologically driven perspective into your studies.
