Build Confidence in English | CELTA-Certified English Teacher (American)

Do you understand English fairly well but still find it hard to speak confidently? Maybe you have trouble following a conversation, finding the right words, or knowing how to say what you mean.

I'm a CELTA-certified American English teacher who works with adult learners at a range of levels. I have more than 15 years of experience helping English-speaking authors develop their writing and communication skills. I understand that effective learning should be practical, engaging, and connected to your goals. My lessons focus on helping you use English, not simply memorize it.

Depending on what you need, we might work on:
• General English and everyday communication
• Speaking and conversational fluency
• Grammar and vocabulary
• Pronunciation and speaking confidence
• Everyday English for travel, social situations, and daily life

I also bring 18 years of professional experience in writing, editing, and publishing. That background has given me a strong understanding of clear, effective communication and a lifelong interest in how people use language to connect with one another.

Whether you're looking to improve your English, become more confident speaking, or simply communicate more comfortably in everyday life, we'll focus on the skills you actually want to use.

Lessons are tailored to your level, goals, and interests. No one-size-fits-all approach—just practical, useful English in a supportive environment where you can practice, make mistakes, ask questions, and build confidence.

Have a friend or colleague who wants to improve their English too? Why not learn together? I offer small-group lessons for 2–3 people at €25 per person. It's a great way to practice speaking, build confidence, and enjoy learning English together!

Looking for Business English? I also offer lessons specifically focused on professional communication and workplace English at €40/hr or €35 per person for groups.
