My teaching method is based on the students learning style, the size of the classroom and their level will determine how I run the class. In English if a student lacks vocabulary, I start lessons based on themes, topics, and provide grammar, reading, listening and interactive activities around the theme or topic.

Teresa is the best teacher I ever had! I met her first when I followed English lessons at academic in Southport. She is a teacher that cares a lot about her students and knows how to handle her subjects. She is not only focused on her subjects, she also provides students with culture and also gives space to the students to tell her about their talents and skills. I never liked to go to class because most teachers never got me motivated until I met Teresa! She is a wonderful person who'll make learning a lot of fun!
Teresa is the best English teacher ever! She also has a great personality that will boost your English learning in ways you would be amazed! Makes it so easy and fun you will feel English is your second best language and make a good friend at the same time!
Teresa has a wonderful ability to connect with her student/s.
As an adult wanting to learn in a different style, learning became fun, easy and structured. Teresa was able to adapt to my learning style and lead with confidence which resulted in fabulous results.
Highly recommended!
Teresa has been an excellent teacher for my son.
She has a great ability to develop a relationship with my son. She's patient, caring, and has a kind personality. Dedication to teaching and very experienced as well. Highly recommended!
I met Teresa almost 7 years ago. She helped me to gain the confidence that I needed at the time with my English. She helped me a lot. She’s a great teacher and person.
Highly recommend
Teresa was an amazing teacher! Her energy and positivity created a fantastic atmosphere to learn and help nurture the genuine community feel of the classroom. She made subjects that were normally quite dull, exciting! She made sure that everyone understood the content before moving onto the next thing. I always looked forward to her classes. She was a wonderful teacher and a fantastic person all around.
This lady is super professional, empathetic and is very well-informed about what she teaches. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
