I am an EFL teacher living in Taunton, England. I graduated from the University of Sheffield with a First Class BA in French and Hispanic Studies in 2020 and have been teaching English since 2019; full-time online since September 2021. I love teaching English and it brings me great joy to see my students progress and gain confidence in using the language. I have lived and worked in France and Spain and I have taught in high schools in both countries. Currently, I particularly enjoy providing support for young people studying for the IELTS Academic exam.

I take a patient, student-based approach to teaching to reduce the anxieties that can sometimes be associated with language learning. Each learner is different and therefore I adapt my classes to match each learner's individual needs,...
