Independent English Reading Educator
About Me
A lifelong learner, always curious about the world.
I have always been interested in language, reading and learning. To me, learning is not simply about gaining knowledge or mastering a skill. It is a process of exploring, discovering and understanding the world around us.
Over the years, reading and English have been constant companions. They have enriched my life and introduced me to different ideas, cultures and human experiences.
Later, I began teaching English to children. As I accompanied them through reading, thinking and expressing their ideas, I gradually realised that teaching is not simply about sharing what I know with others. It also gives me a new way to rediscover language, learning and personal growth.
Teaching has given me another way to learn.
That is one of the reasons I want to document this journey. Whether I am reading a book, sharing a story with a child, or discovering something unexpected in a lesson, each experience brings me a new understanding of language, learning and growth.
About My Teaching
I am an independent English reading educator, working with young learners from early readers to high-school students.
My teaching is centred on reading — not simply reading words on a page, but understanding stories, exploring language, discovering knowledge and developing the ability to think and express ideas in English.
Through different reading materials, from Oxford Reading Tree and children’s chapter books to nonfiction articles and full-length novels, I adapt my approach to each learner’s age, level and interests.
I believe that meaningful language learning grows through curiosity, understanding and the gradual accumulation of experience.
Reading opens doors.
Language gives us a voice.
My Reading Journey
Reading has always been an important part of my life. I enjoy English novels, stories and articles, and some books stay with me long after I’ve finished them.
Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks and All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr are two novels I particularly love. These days, I read Birdsong aloud regularly. I enjoy the rhythm of the language, the emotions of the characters and the pleasure of bringing their voices to life.
Sometimes I pause over a sentence simply because I love the way it is written. For me, reading is not just about learning new words or finishing a book. It’s about entering another world and allowing its language and stories to become part of my own experience.
“Reading is not just about words, but about seeing the world in a deeper way.”
A Teacher at Heart
Over the years, I have explored different books, materials and approaches with young learners. Each journey has taught me something new about reading, language and the way children learn.
I believe that learning English should be more than memorising words. Children need time and opportunities to think, imagine, communicate and find their own words.
