Hello, I'm Jane, an English Language Coach from Northern Ireland, and I've been teaching English for over 20 years.
With my CELTA qualification, I've taught people from many different countries, and my life has also taken me to different places and cultures. I spent 9 years living and teaching in Yokohama, Japan, where I taught in language schools, colleges and community centres, as well as teaching company classes and private students.

I've also lived and worked in the Caribbean and Europe, and have studied German, French, Japanese and Spanish. Being a language learner myself, I understand that speaking another language can sometimes feel difficult or even a little scary. I know that using a language is much more than learning words and grammar.
My lessons are warm, relaxed and focused on conversation.
I believe English is something to use, not just something to study.
We might talk about travel, culture, food, films, books, music, everyday life, current topics or simply something you're interested in.
I'll encourage you to speak and express your ideas, while helping you with useful vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and the real expressions that can make your English sound more natural.
Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable speaking English. You don't have to speak perfectly to communicate.

I'm proud to call Northern Ireland home.
I love sharing its stories, landscapes, history, culture and everyday life, from the beautiful coastline and historic places to local food, traditions and the little things that make life here special.

If you're interested in Northern Ireland, Irish culture, travel or discovering somewhere new through English, I'd be very happy to share it with you.
I believe language and culture belong together.
That's why I love bringing stories, cultural topics and real-life experiences into my lessons. We can explore a place, talk about a story, discuss a film or simply have a conversation about life.
I can help you feel more comfortable, more confident and more connected when you use English.
Feel the language. Breathe the culture.
I'd love to meet you and watch your English grow.
