About Me

I am a qualified nurse, English language teacher and life coach, and people are my passion. Throughout my career I have mentored, taught, cared for, and coached a vast diversity of people in many different settings, but with each interaction have strived to support them to achieve their goals and reach their full potential.

I am lucky enough to have been able to combine nursing and my love of languages into my Masters studies which focussed on the facilities available for non-English speaking women seeking early pregnancy services in the UK. As a postgraduate student, teacher, and nurse, I have experience in academic reading and writing, English language proofreading and editing, and over a decade of healthcare experience which will allow me to support you in your journey to achieving English language proficiency, particularly those wishing to enter a career in English-speaking healthcare.

I am currently based in Portugal, but my English classes are all online so please don’t hesitate to contact me if you’d like to start your English language journey today, no matter where you are in the world.


Build your confidence, independence, and enjoyment in the English language, achieve your goals, and reach your full potential.
