15 years teaching and tutoring experience around the world. I specialize in prepring students for high-stakes English language exams such as FCE, CAE amd IELTS, as well as offering English Literature, academic writing and creative writing tuition to GCSE, A-Level and undergraduate students. I also offer proofreading and support for personal statements, thesis writing and academic articles.

In parallel to my teaching career, I have worked as a music journalist and editor for a number of Japanese publications and am an award-winning portrait photographer. I am currently studying on the University of East Anglia`s prestigious MA Creative Writing course.

I am a friendly, supportive and empathic teacher with a high rate of satisfaction and success among my students.

Availability: Currently available for evening online classes and possibly weekends face-to-face.

Willing to travel: 2 miles

Experience: Beginning my career in London in 2005, I moved to Japan where I progressed to working with the British Council as a teacher and teacher trainer, eventually planning and delivering CLIL-based courses in Psychology and Intercultural Communication at university level.

I spent 2019/2020 teaching in Spain as a precursor to moving back to the UK where I taught Cambridge exams to young learners. I am CELTA and DELTA-qualified and have extensive experience in exam preparation and private tuition.
