Hello! Everyone has a different reason for wanting to learn English, and everyone has different needs when learning. Many people are afraid to speak English - they're afraid to make mistakes; often, they hated their English lessons at school! I can help you to become more fluent and more confident when giving presentations, attending meetings, writing emails or letters, or just talking to friends in English. I believe effective language learning can only happen when students feel relaxed, and when they are interested in the material. It is very important that students speak as much as possible during the lesson, and are not afraid to make mistakes! Making mistakes is normal when learning a language. Therefore, I try to make lessons fun and engaging. To do this, I conduct a needs analysis of each student during the first session; this allows me to discover exactly what each new student’s needs are, which areas they need to improve, and what topics they are interested in. Some students are afraid of grammar, but I try to present it in a fun way – so that you don’t actually realise you’re studying grammar until it’s too late!
I’ve taught individuals and groups at all levels from Pre-Intermediate to Advanced/Proficiency, as well as exam preparation classes (FCE, CAE, CPE). I teach at a language school as well as at various companies in Prague, in addition to teaching private students.

Hobbies: I'm interested in history, "nature" in general, hiking, travel, science and science fiction, magic realism, linguistics, music (Ipek Ipekcioglu, Bjork, aespa, classical, and more...), and autistic - neurotypical communication. Obviously, though, we can also talk about other things if you're not interested in these!
