My story

I'm originally from the Czech Republic, and I spent 15 years living, studying and working in the UK. For six years I taught in local primary schools. I loved the children and the job, but I wanted to travel and live in different countries, and my job was keeping me in one place.

So I braved a big life change. I went back to university, earned my MA TESOL, and started teaching English online. Since then I've taught more than 4,521 lessons to over 550 students.

English gave me the freedom to live where I want and to be myself wherever I am. That freedom is what I want to share with you.

Who I work with

Everyday English at work

Professionals who use English every day and want to speak naturally, without hesitating or translating in their head.

Heading abroad

People preparing to work abroad, or already in an international team, who want to make a strong impression from day one.

Curious minds, B1–C1

Motivated learners who want richer vocabulary and real fluency, and who love a good conversation about life, culture and ideas.

How I teach

I don't teach from books. I teach from the heart. Every lesson is built around your goals, your work and the topics you love, so it never feels like a class. It feels like a great conversation that leaves you more confident than when you started.

My students often describe our lessons as a safe space, somewhere they can make mistakes, laugh, and finally say what they really mean. Alongside the warmth, there's structure:

  • Clear goals and a learning plan that fits your schedule
  • Shared notes with every new word and correction, available any time
  • Pronunciation videos after lessons, so you can practise on your own
  • Practical ideas to surround yourself with English in your daily life, so you start thinking in English, not just studying it

Fluency doesn't come from lessons alone. I'll guide you, encourage you and celebrate every win with you, and I'll also show you simple, enjoyable ways to keep English with you between lessons. That's where the real change happens.

Teaching is a work of heart, hand-lettered on a glass frame

Not sure if we're the right fit?

A teacher and a student need to click. That's why we always start with a free 30-minute chat. You tell me about your goals, I tell you how I'd help, and you decide, with no pressure at all.
