• What made you passionate about this language? Family background, personal interest, an inspiring teacher, or perhaps a great love?

  My passion for the English language grew from a mix of personal interest and meaningful experiences. From an early stage, I was fascinated by how English connects people from different cultures and opens doors to global opportunities. Over time, this interest deepened through inspiring teachers and real-life communication while living and teaching in different countries. Today, English is not just a language for me, but a powerful tool to build confidence, share ideas, and help others achieve their personal and professional goals.

• Which character, historical or fictional, do you think best represents the culture associated with this language?

  I believe William Shakespeare best represents the culture of the English language. His work shows the richness and flexibility of English, from everyday speech to powerful expressions of emotion and thought. Through his characters and stories, he explores universal themes such as love, ambition, conflict, and human values. Even today, his influence can be seen in modern English, literature, and communication, which shows how the language continues to evolve while staying deeply connected to its cultural roots.

• Is there a word, expression, tradition, or cultural custom that amuses you or makes you laugh?

  One cultural habit that amuses me in English-speaking cultures is the frequent use of polite expressions like “sorry” and “excuse me,” even in very small or everyday situations. It often makes me smile how these words are used not only to apologise, but also to show consideration and respect for others. This habit reflects how politeness and indirect communication are an important part of the culture, and it highlights how language shapes social behaviour in a gentle and positive way.

• Why is it important for you to speak this language?

  Speaking English is important to me because it allows me to connect with people from different cultures and backgrounds. As a teacher who has lived and worked in several countries, English has been my main tool for communication, learning, and professional growth. It enables me to share ideas, build meaningful relationships, and support learners in achieving their academic and career goals. For me, English is not just a language, but a bridge that creates opportunities and understanding across the world.

• What do you think is the most difficult aspect of learning this language?

  I think the most difficult aspect of learning English is mastering its idiomatic expressions and pronunciation. English has many phrases that don’t make literal sense, which can confuse learners at first. Additionally, the difference between written and spoken forms, along with various accents, can be challenging to understand. As a teacher, I enjoy helping students navigate these difficulties by making lessons practical, engaging, and full of real-life examples, so they gain both confidence and fluency over time.

• Tell us a funny or unusual anecdote about your education or a lesson experience!

  During an online lesson, I was helping a student practice speaking about daily routines. I asked them to describe a typical morning, and they confidently said, “I wake up, drink coffee, and immediately start negotiating with my cat for breakfast!” We both laughed, and it created a relaxed and friendly atmosphere for the rest of the lesson. Moments like these remind me that even adult learners enjoy humor, and it helps them feel comfortable experimenting with English while staying engaged.

• Help us get to know you better: tell us about your passions, travels, and hobbies!

  I am passionate about languages, culture, and connecting with people from around the world. Travelling has been a big part of my life, and I have lived and taught in several countries, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and ways of thinking. In my free time, I enjoy reading, exploring new cuisines, and practicing mindfulness through yoga. I also love creative activities like writing and drawing, which help me bring fresh ideas and energy into my lessons. These experiences not only enrich my life but also inspire my teaching, making each lesson engaging and meaningful for my students.

• What makes you a true Superprof, besides the ability to speak and express yourself in multiple languages?

  What makes me a true Superprof is my dedication to helping students achieve real results while enjoying the learning process. With over 10 years of teaching experience across different countries, I understand that each student learns differently, so I tailor my lessons to their individual needs, goals, and learning styles. I combine professionalism with creativity, patience, and encouragement, ensuring students feel confident and motivated. Beyond language skills, I bring cultural awareness, practical examples, and proven techniques that make learning effective, engaging, and memorable.
