Teaching English
Hi, I’m Natalie — a UX designer, writer (you can find my stories at Small Stories), traveller, and qualified TEFL level 5 teacher.
I’ve spent years moving between countries, meeting people from every corner of the world, and working with web and product teams from global corporates to tiny start‑ups. Those experiences taught me how differently people communicate across cultures, and how much confidence grows when language feels warm, human, and natural.
Alongside my design work, I write short stories — something that’s shaped the way I teach. I love imagination, clarity, and helping people express themselves in a way that feels true to who they are. This course is a blend of everything I care about: friendly communication, expressive speaking, creative thinking, and practical English you can use every day.
I keep my teaching simple and accessible. Prices follow the same approach: clear, fair, and flexible, just like my digital services. You can book single lessons if you want to try things out, or choose a bundle if you prefer a structured learning path. I also offer 1‑to‑1 coaching for personalised support, or group classes if you’d like to learn together as a team.
My goal is to make English feel enjoyable, confidence‑building, and genuinely useful — especially for non- native English learners who want to sound natural, friendly, and internationally confident.
