Practical English Lessons with a Toastmasters Speaker

I help learners speak English confidently in real life—for work, travel, or daily conversations. My lessons are interactive, fun, and personalized to your goals.

As a member of an international Toastmasters club, I bring expertise in communication, speaking, and confidence-building to every lesson. Together, we focus on:

Everyday conversations and practical vocabulary

Workplace English and professional communication

Travel and social interactions

Pronunciation, listening, and speaking skills

Whether one-on-one or in small groups, my lessons are engaging, supportive, and goal-oriented. By the end, you’ll communicate naturally in English and apply your skills immediately in real-life situations.
