Master English with a Dedicated Tutor Who Cares
I help students of all ages and backgrounds master grammar and academic writing skills. Students who work with me build confidence in conversation and in writing. I especially enjoy helping ESL students and students with ADHD!
The Struggles of Learning English
Learning English can be intimidating, especially when faced with tricky grammar rules, daunting academic writing assignments, or the pressure of speaking confidently in conversations. Many learners also struggle to stay motivated or feel unsupported, and for ADHD students, the traditional approaches to language learning can feel overwhelming or ineffective.
Why Other Solutions Haven’t Worked
You’ve likely tried a variety of methods already. Teaching or learning for yourself, different apps and programs, group classes, or even online videos. But they often lack the personal touch and structure needed to address your specific challenges. Perhaps you’ve felt stuck, frustrated, or unsure of how to take your skills to the next level. For some, the fear of making mistakes in a new language might still be holding you back.
Personalized Tutoring
With An Empathetic Approach
That’s where I come in.
With nearly 30 years of experience as a dedicated English tutor, I provide personalized lessons tailored to your goals, learning style, and unique needs. Because I’ve faced the challenges of learning a second language myself, I understand your journey—and I’m here to guide you every step of the way with encouragement, humor, and proven techniques. Together, we’ll turn your struggles into strengths and unlock your full potential in English.
I strive to create a supportive space for you to grow at your own pace, whether you’re mastering grammar, refining your writing, or boosting your conversational confidence. And for ADHD learners, I offer customized strategies to help you thrive.

Learning with Virginia is great!!! She's very professional and prepared, always patient and challenging, her lessons are interesting, with in-depth grammar and never boring. I'm very glad to have chosen her as my tutor!

Virginia is the best, She has very good experience in teaching students. She understands student needs/abilities and plans the course step by step. The best thing is she makes students more comfortable and teaches them like her own kids.

Virginia is my sons' favourite English teacher. Thanks to her methods he develops confidence in speaking. The classes are so motivating and enjoyable that my teenage son intends to continue learning even during summer holidays :)
I'd like to let you know that M passed his yearly exams in English. He did it very well! There's no doubt that you are the mother of his success :) English is his favourite school subject now :) Thank you so much!!!

I view tutoring as a collaborative effort. Students learn more effectively—and enjoy the process—when their interests are integrated into our sessions. In the past, I've tailored lessons to include topics like Minecraft, Disney Princesses, Dungeons and Dragons, astronomy, science, and more!
