About me

Language is my thing and I'm all about helping others to express themselves better. I do this through English Language Teaching, hosting Porto's Shelf Help book club and co-hosting the Chrysalis Connection podcast.
I’ve always had an affinity withlanguage, ever since I was a child, and I’m sure that it’s that fascination that has brought me to where I am today. I am passionate about helping people grow and be able to express themselves better. Whilst this applies to communicating in English, it also applies to the relationship we have with ourselves and how we are constantly evolving as individuals. For this reason, our sessions will not just work on your skills in English but aim to encourage and motivate you to become a better version of yourself, too. I’m a certified Shelf Help book club host and started the Porto group in 2020, it's a global wellbeing community. We are all works in progress. I believe that we grow best when we help each other to grow, too.
I’ve been living abroad since 2014 and love learning languages: Italian, Portuguese & Spanish. I love to share my own journey of learning languages with my students; it gives me a different perspective and allows me to empathise with students. I find the process of learning a language both challenging and fun.
Combining my teaching and language skills, and embracing my passions and refreshed sense of purpose, I endeavour to help you explore the world of wellbeing and personal development through the medium of English.

Britain ➜ Italy ➜ Portugal
I first visited Porto at Easter 2019 and moved here in July of the same year. Before Portugal, I had been living in Italy between 2014 and 2019; first for an Erasmus year in Bologna and later as an au pair and English teacher in Lugo di Romagna.
At weekends you’ll find me reading, doing yoga and recording for my podcast on personal development and mental health awareness.

As your language coach I will create a tailored learning plan for you and invest time in getting to know you so that I can best help you grow and succeed - when communicating in English and outwardly in other areas of your life too. I do this by applying my interests and studies in personal development and emotional intelligence. My role is to support and motivate you as I accompany you on your journey with English, equipping you with tools and skills to be able to use completely independently. Think of me as your personal trainer for communicating in English.
