About Me
Hi, my name is Verena.
I’m a CELTA-qualified English teacher and have been providing private lessons since 2018.
I'm a born and bred Londoner who was raised by Brazilian parents, so I grew up bilingual speaking both English and Portuguese. I also speak Spanish fluently and basic French.
Aside from teaching English, I also have 5 years' experience working in marketing within the tech industry, which has been very useful when teaching students business English.
What to expect
I’ve taught students from all over the world with different levels of English. Each student is different so before teaching I always speak to my students first to see what methods, activities and learning styles they prefer and work best for them, as well as find out what their level of English is and what goals they want to achieve. I always adapt my lessons to each student. Often when lessons are personalised, students progress much faster.
Lessons can be as long as you want! I recommend one-hour lessons, but I also teach a minimum of 30 minutes and maximum 2 hours. Consistency usually makes more of a difference to a student's progress than lesson length.
For your first lesson, we'll discuss your learning needs and goals, then do a demo lesson for you to see what you can expect.
I believe that learning a language should be fun, so I make sure lessons are engaging and interactive.
If you want to improve your English and really enjoy the experience, then try out a lesson with me. It would be a pleasure to teach you and help you reach your learning goals.
