About Olivia
Hello, my name is Olivia I grew up in Southampton and now live in London, a city that's taught me a lot about working with people from all walks of life. Before teaching, I trained as an actor — a background that still shapes my lessons today, especially through role play and script writing to bring the language to life.
I spent 4 years as a special needs teaching assistant at a school in South London, helping students who struggled with reading and writing, and assisting KS4/5 art lessons. Each morning I worked on articulation, comprehension, and sentence structure with small groups, creating my own resources and lesson plans to suit how they learnt best.
My teaching has also taken me further afield — including a memorable stint in Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe, teaching a large class of 11–14 year olds with no course book or syllabus to follow. I built my own lessons from scratch, focusing on the trickier parts of English like homophones, homographs, spelling, and sentence structure, and used my acting background to put it all into practice through role play. The class showed real improvement in just two weeks.
Since September 2025, I've brought all of this experience into teaching online, working 1:1 with children and adults. I still teach many of the same students today and have seen real development in their grammar and confidence speaking English. Along the way, I've built up a range of lesson plans and techniques tailored specifically to make 1:1 online learning as effective as possible.
At the heart of it all is my passion for the English language itself — a language that connects people from every corner of the world, and one I love helping others discover, use, and feel confident in.
Let’s discuss your goals, and discover how we will unlock the beauty of the English language together. I’ll ensure lessons are engaging and tailored just for you.

I'm a visual learner myself, and I bring that into how I teach. My lessons are built around images, games, online storybooks, and interactive resources. I also prioritise student talking time, creating plenty of opportunities for students to actually speak and practice rather than just listen. I often revisit previous lessons regularly, weaving past vocabulary and structures into new activities so consolidate learning.
Lessons run between 30 and 45 minutes, with length adapted to the student's age and attention span — shorter, high-energy sessions for younger learners, and longer, more in-depth sessions for older or more advanced students.
I have a 200-hour Level 5 TEFL Diploma, with 4+ years of teaching experience in school and 9 months teaching English online — giving me a solid grounding in both classroom management and the specific demands of teaching through a screen.
The majority of my experience is with children aged 5–12, where I specialise in keeping lessons fun, structured, and age-appropriate using games and visual learning tools. I also teach beginner to intermediate adults, adapting the same visual and game-based approach to more conversational, real-world goals.
Why not book a trial lesson to see if we're a good fit? I'd love to meet you and get started!

My TEFL tutor Olivia does an amazing job at finding the best approach for my specific learning style. She creates fun variations of exercises that keep me motivated while remaining incredibly effective. I always look forward to my classes with Olivia because she makes the environment so encouraging and positive. She makes sure I completely understand each concept before moving on to the next topic. Her lessons are always structured beautifully, and the homework provided between classes is both relevant and appropriately challenging. She is highly attentive, friendly, and exceptional at clear communication. I have already seen major improvements in my skills and would highly recommend her.
