About Angela

I spent years working as a diplomatic interpreter before moving into private teaching, and across sixteen years of combined interpreting and instruction I have now guided approximately four hundred twenty students toward genuinely professional English. My background gives me an unusually precise understanding of how language functions under real pressure, in negotiations, formal meetings, and high-stakes written correspondence where a wrong word choice carries real consequences. I work primarily with professionals, executives, and ambitious students preparing for international careers who need English that holds up in serious settings, not just casual conversation. My teaching style is exacting and detail-oriented, reflecting the standards I held myself to throughout my interpreting career, though I remain genuinely patient with students working hard to reach that level. I have guided numerous professionals through successful international interviews, negotiations, and career transitions, drawing on real diplomatic experience rather than purely academic training alone. Students consistently tell me my corrections feel demanding but genuinely useful, appreciating precision over vague encouragement that leaves real gaps unaddressed. I take particular pride in helping students walk into a boardroom or interview and sound as confident as any native professional speaker. After sixteen years in this field, I remain genuinely committed to precise, consequential English teaching.

About the lesson

I spent years interpreting in rooms where a single mistranslated word genuinely mattered, and that background shapes a teaching style built around precision rather than vague general fluency alone. Lessons begin with a clear assessment of exactly what a student needs their English for, whether that's negotiation, correspondence, or formal presentation, since generic lessons rarely serve specific professional goals well. Grammar is taught with real rigor, not as abstract rules but as the exact mechanics that determine whether a sentence sounds confident or sounds uncertain in a high-stakes setting. I drill vocabulary in context, using real diplomatic and business correspondence as models, since memorised word lists rarely transfer into genuine, usable fluency under pressure. Pronunciation and register receive careful attention, helping students shift naturally between formal and conversational tone depending on the situation they're actually facing. Role-play exercises simulate real professional scenarios, negotiations, interviews, formal meetings, giving students genuine practice handling English under the kind of pressure they'll actually encounter. I correct precisely and immediately, because I've seen how small habitual errors compound into real credibility problems over a career. Every lesson closes with specific, actionable homework tied directly to the student's real professional context, not generic exercises detached from their actual life.
