Born with the innate talent to break down complex concepts into simple words articulately, foraying into the teaching field seemed only but natural. In line with my vocation, securing a B.Ed degree was the next step I had to take to certify myself as a teacher for the year group I fitted in with - middle and secondary school.

Having taught students of various curricula over the last 12 years, I can help you learn the language and even perform at your best at any proficiency test that you might want to take.

Fact#1- Did you know that the English language has a vocabulary of more than 171,146 words?
Fact#2- Did you know that you only need a vocabulary of 3000 words to be able to communicate effectively in English?
So, if you’d like to know the what and how of it, you know where to look - well, me.

The more you practice a language, the better you get at it, and what better place could you start at than a place like Dubai where everyone, from taxi drivers to waiters, speak the language.
