My online English teaching career began five years ago with an Asian company, where I taught students from Korea, Japan, China, and Taiwan. This event taught me about cultural awareness and the value of respectful communication. I began teaching youngsters and eventually studied to coach adults in business and travel English. I subsequently moved to the European market, where I spent over six years teaching pupils of various ages from Russia, Ukraine, Poland, and Turkey. Furthermore, I taught grammar, conversational English, job interview prep, exam preparation (such as IELTS), and life coaching, adapting my approach to each student's needs.

This diversified experience shaped my adaptive, student-centered teaching style, which helps students acquire confidence and achieve their goals.
