With over 21 years of international teaching experience, I am a dedicated ESL and IELTS instructor known for delivering outstanding results.
I hold a B.A. in English Translation and a 250-hour TESOL diploma, and I have taught English across several countries and in Canada, helping learners from diverse cultural backgrounds achieve fluency and confidence.
My professional training and personalized methods have consistently enabled students—young adults, adults, and public servants—to improve their communication skills, with many reaching near-native pronunciation and fluency. I specialize in both conversational and business English, and have a proven track record in preparing students for the IELTS General and Academic modules, focusing on grammar precision and pronunciation clarity. I take pride in breaking down complex grammar structures into simple, practical lessons that are immediately applicable in real-life scenarios. My sessions are engaging, goal-oriented, and tailored to each learner’s needs. Outside the classroom, I enjoy staying active through sports and exploring flight simulation through DCS (Digital Combat Simulator), combining my passion for technology and precision. This balance of discipline, energy, and enthusiasm defines my teaching style, and I am deeply committed to helping every student succeed in their English journey, whether for academic, professional, or immigration purposes.
My teaching approach is student-centered, communicative, and results-driven. I combine task-based learning, the PPP (Presentation, Practice, Production) method, and error correction techniques to build accuracy and fluency. I emphasize real-life communication through role-plays, discussions, and problem-solving tasks. I integrate technology, including multimedia and online platforms, to enhance engagement and learning flexibility. My lessons focus heavily on grammar, pronunciation, and vocabulary in context. I use scaffolding to support learners progressively, incorporate continuous assessment, and provide constructive feedback. I tailor lessons to individual goals, especially for IELTS preparation, and adapt materials to suit different learning styles—visual, auditory, and kinesthetic.
I am available Monday through Thursday from 7am to 23am and Friday mornings and evenings with Saturday and Sunday evenings.
I teach via Licensed Zoom and can meet locally in Montreal.
