Language has shaped the way I learn, work, travel, and connect with people. Teaching is where all of those experiences come together.
I fell in love with English long beforeI ever thought of teaching it.
It started when I first walked into an American English school and heard native speakers teaching in the classroom. I was fascinated by the way the language sounded — its musicality, its rhythm, and the way it could express so much with so little.
I knew then that English was going to be a part of my life. So I started diving deeper.
I went on to earn an advanced degree in linguistics, and for more than five years now, I have been teaching students at a language school. At the same time, translation opened up another side of the language for me — one where every word, nuance, and choice matters.
I have translated two books: one has been published, and the second is on its way. I have also worked as an interpreter in a business environment, where language becomes immediate: you have to listen, understand the intention behind the words, and communicate it naturally and precisely in the moment.
All of these experiences — teaching, translating, interpreting, studying, and simply living with English for years — have shaped the way I see the language today.
Somewhere along the way, English stopped feeling like a foreign language to me. It became a way of thinking, connecting, and expressing who I am.
And that's the feeling I want to pass on — when English stops feeling like something you've learned and starts feeling like a language that's truly yours.

English is not just something you learn. It becomes another way to be yourself.

I bring the same curiosity to teaching that I bring to language itself: noticing details, asking better questions, and staying open to new ways of communicating.
