I am an experienced and TEFL- qualified English teacher with 5+ years of EFL / ESL experience (over 3500 conducted lessons), as well as an independent researcher, curriculum designer, and a fanatic of foreign literature. I completed my master's degree (MA) in English Literature on July 5th 2023, and I currently work as a full-time English teacher.

I strive to conduct language lessons with a formula of 85% speaking and 15% theory. At the beginning of each session, the student receives premium lesson materials from me. We discuss more challenging topics based on what we can observe in daily life. At the end of the session, the student receives homework designed to allow them to work on the material covered.
