Language professional ready to provide clear and effective communication across languages and cultures. Ensuring accurate translation in high-pressure environments.



Qualified, passionate and motivating teacher with strong background in tutoring English to diverse student population. My approach to language teaching is based on the view that every individual has their own way of acquiring knowledge and getting information. So the role of a language teacher is to provide the materials tailored to every student's needs depending on their pace of learning, memory type, interests and objectives in language learning. Encourage the learners to overcome challenges on the way, help to build up confidence using the target language.
