About Me
I love improving. If you are a good English speaker, but you want to make sure you get absolutely THE TOP MARK in your school or uni examinations- I am the teacher for you. I have years of experience teaching English examinations, and also of composing and writing top mark winning essays. I will show you how to get the maximum use of your language, and teach you any idioms or speaking and writing tricks to separate you from the rest.

I used to be a professional English teacher, I then made another career as an academic. My writing is published by Oxford University Press and in The Spectator. I am now available to help you or your child smash through their school examinations, or make the most compelling business presentation, or present an indisputable academic paper.

Hi I am a native English-speaking Londoner, highly educated with straight As and two Masters from the UK, now age 38 with a family in Copenhagen, where I teach at Copenhagen University Faculty of Psychiatry.

I taught English Language (TEFL) in a cool busy school in Central London for 5 years. I went on to have another career as a professional academic in Child Psychology, and you can find my work online published by Oxford University Press and in The Spectator

I am an expert in English Language for all levels, but in particular advanced levels - exam preparation, essay writing and essay composition, examined speaking and so on. I will help you achieve top marks in your school exams, or make the most compelling business presentation, teaching you all the idioms and language tricks you need to get distinguished from all the rest.

As you can see I am a serious professional teacher with a lot of experience and skills - you are getting a lot of bang for your buck!

I can also teach piano!

Aleksandra
Aleksandra is a trained singer, singing teacher and choir conductor from the Academy of Music in Gdansk and Escola Superior de Música de Catalunya in Barcelona.

She took to the stage in her childhood and has been teaching music for the last 6 years.

For several years she was a chorister of the prestigious Polish National Youth Choir and leader of Vocal Quintet Solifonia. Currently, she is a choir conductor and the founder of CHOIR CLUB in Korskolen.


What can you expect from her teaching?

She believes that singing can be passion, a communication tool, a means of therapy and so much more: more than you can imagine!

In her classes, you will learn key vocal techniques as well as learning to understand your voice. You will discover the deeper meanings of the songs you sing as you seek to express them to the world.

As she is working towards becoming an Accredited Teacher of IVTOM (International Voice Teachers of Mix) she focuses on delivering teaching based on the Mix principles: by mixing the chest and head voice you receive the full benefits of “both voices”: the natural and powerful sound of the chest voice, and the beauty and range of the head voice. As a singer learns to sing using both of these resonances and trains the vocal folds to stay together, it is possible to vocalize smoothly and evenly from one register to the next. The relationship of the two elements working together will create an even, smooth vocalization and, as a result, eliminates the “breaks” in the voice.

She has a good knowledge of playing the piano, so you can sing along to her accompaniment or accompany yourself under her supervision.


What does the first lesson include?

You’ll talk about:
- your background and musical experience
- all the circumstances that can influence your sound production
- your needs, expectations and plans

You also find out:

- what your bad habits are
- how you can start your singing technique
- what kind of exercises will help you best achieve your singing goals


Who is welcome?

- Children (8+), adolescents and adults
- Singers of all kinds of popular music
- Students who want to learn hearing / rhythm theory
- Individuals, groups and families
