About me

I’m a CELTA-qualified English teacher with a Master’s degree in English Philology and Teaching English (graduated with distinction) and over 15 years of experience helping learners reach their goals — from excelling in international exams to succeeding in job interviews and building confidence in corporate communication.

Throughout my career, I’ve taught professionals, university students and learners of all levels, designing and delivering Exam Preparation, General English and Business English courses tailored to real-world communication needs. I’ve also examined IELTS Speaking tests and conducted numerous Cambridge Speaking mock exams, which allows me to provide learners with insider feedback and targeted strategies for exam success.

In 2022, I founded Smart English to offer high-level, personalised English teaching designed around each student’s unique goals. My aim is to provide a truly holistic learning experience, where learners are guided not only in language skills but also in real-world communication. Applying knowledge of human psychology and behaviour, I help students navigate cultural differences, understand body language and communicate effectively and confidently in professional and academic contexts.

My approach blends clear structure with creativity, ensuring that every lesson is engaging, relevant and results-focused.

  • Real and relevant learning: Lessons focus on natural language and topics that connect with students’ goals and interests.
  • Confidence-building environment: Students are free to express themselves without fear of making mistakes.
