I've taught at leading universities in the UK, including the University of Edinburgh, Durham University, and the University for the Creative Arts, and supported learners from pre-sessional courses to postgraduate dissertations. Whether you need to improve your writing, prepare for exams or interviews, or gain confidence in presentations and seminars, I can help. My lessons are always tailored to your needs, based on your goals, learning style, and current level, and delivered with clear structure, supportive feedback, and practical strategies for success. I also bring a background in linguistic research and curriculum design, so you're in expert hands.
