About Barbara
Hi! I’m Barbara, a TEFL-certified English teacher who is passionate about helping students of all ages and levels become confident English speakers.
I support learners with ESL, TESOL, IELTS preparation, conversational English, English for beginners, English for travelling, interview preparation, English for studying abroad, and English for children. I create friendly, interactive, and personalised lessons based on each student’s level, goals, and interests.
My lessons focus on practical communication, speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, and fluency. I’m patient, encouraging, and supportive, and I want my students to feel comfortable making mistakes and learning at their own pace.
Whether you’re preparing for an exam, getting ready for an interview, planning to travel or study abroad, or simply want to improve your everyday English, I’m here to help you reach your goals.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy reading, listening to music, travelling, and spending time with my family. I’d love to meet you and make your English-learning journey enjoyable and rewarding!

English
I am a TEFL-certified English teacher with 6 years of teaching experience, working with learners of different ages, levels, backgrounds, and learning styles. I am passionate about helping students improve their English while building the confidence they need to communicate naturally in real-life situations.
Certifications & Education
I hold a 120-hour TEFL certification, which has provided me with a strong foundation in English language teaching, lesson planning, classroom management, teaching methodology, and working with learners of different levels.
Teaching Methodology
My teaching style is communicative, student-centred, and practical. I use conversations, role-plays, real-life situations, interactive activities, and task-basedlearning to give students plenty of opportunities to use English actively. I also use an immersive approach where appropriate, encouraging students to use English naturally throughout the lesson.
I adapt my teaching methods according to each learner's age, level, personality, learning style, and goals. I believe mistakes are a natural and important part of learning, so I create a supportive environment where students feel comfortable speaking and practising without fear.
Subject Expertise
I can support students with:
ESL and general English
TESOL-focused English learning
IELTS preparation and speaking practice
Conversational English and fluency
English for beginners
English for children and young learners

Job interview preparation
Speaking, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing
For IELTS learners, I focus on developing the language skills needed for effective communication, particularly speaking fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar,and confidence. For students preparing to study abroad, travel, or attend job interviews, I use practical situations and role-plays to help them communicate more naturally.
My goal is not only to teach English, but to help students feel confident using it. Whether you are a complete beginner, preparing for IELTS, getting ready to study abroad, preparing for an interview, or simply wanting to speak English more comfortably, I will tailor our lessons to your needs and help you make steady progress.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Barbara as a dedicated and caring English teacher. Barbara creates a comfortable learning environment where students feel safe to speak, ask questions, and make mistakes without feeling embarrassed. One experience l shared with Barbara was seeing how she prepared and supported learners during their English lessons.
Barbara is very patient and encouraging. She explains things in a simple way and makes the lesson easy to understand. I felt comfortable speaking English even though I am still a beginner.
