University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

This online English class supports students in developing strong communication skills, academic confidence, and clear expression in both spoken and written English. I have worked with learners from diverse countries and language backgrounds, helping them move beyond textbook knowledge into practical, confident use of English.

Lessons focus on reading comprehension, structured writing, vocabulary development, grammar accuracy, pronunciation, and speaking fluency. Students preparing for school assessments or international exams such as IELTS receive targeted support designed to strengthen performance and reduce exam anxiety.

I tailor each session to the student’s level, learning style, and goals. Some learners need help organizing their thoughts in writing, others need to build confidence speaking — my role is to identify those needs and guide them step by step.

My approach combines structured lessons, guided practice, and consistent feedback, helping students grow in both skill and confidence.
