    πŸ‘©πŸΌβ€πŸ« My experience: CELTA-qualified, with 4 years' experience teaching hundreds of students aged 16–70 from 35+ countries. I've taught everything from multicultural classes of 19 to private 1-to-1s, A2 to C1, grammar basics to IELTS and Business English.


    🎯 My work: I can teach whatever students need, but I'm especially experienced in IELTS preparation.


    πŸ“– My background: A Bachelor's degree in English Literature & Film, a Master's degree in Diplomacy & International Law, and career experience across various industries before I became a teacher, including business, film, and law.


    ✨ My goal: To help as many people as possible feel more confident, communicate more clearly, and unlock their dreams through education.

    ]]>     2026-05-02 17:07:39 UTC https://padlet.com/niftyenglish/learn/wish/3894352131     Frequently Asked Questions niftyenglish https://padlet.com/niftyenglish/learn/wish/3894352392 How long are lessons? 30, 60, 90, or 120 minutes. Most students go for 60 minutes, which is usually the sweet spot for focus and progress.


    What ages do you teach? Adults and older teenagers (16+).


    What level do I need to be? Online lessons work best for B1 and above. If you're below B1, in-person learning is usually more effective.


    British or American English? I'm British, but I teach both confidently. The difference isn't as big as learners often think it is. Whether you're preparing for IELTS, TOEFL, business with American clients, or just have a preference, I can adapt to what you need.


    Do I also need to pay for books or materials? No! All materials are provided and tailored to you. You can also bring your own if there's something specific you'd like to use.


    How do payments work? International bank transfer, Wise, PayPal, or Stripe. We can talk through the options in your free intro meeting.
