About me
Hello everyone! I'm Lia, an American happily residing in Ireland, and I'm delighted to be joining Preply as an English tutor. :) I have travelled across many countries and familiarised myself with a wide range of accents and dialects. As a result, I've developed a neutral, easy to understand accent, as well as an awareness of the challenges that English learners might face.
My hobbies include creative writing, reading, playing music, dancing, film, science, video editing, hiking and swimming. I like learning about different viewpoints and forms of expression.
I've had the pleasure of tutoring international students in English using a similar online platform and it has been a fantastically rewarding experience. Prior to that, I had tutored family and friends in both English and Biology. I love the English language and I'm passionate about helping learners harness its full potential to express themselves effectively and creatively.
Having acquired the 120-Hour TEFL teaching certificate, I offer a flexible and creative approach to online tutoring. :)
In college, I participated in the CUNY Baccalaureate Programme for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies, focusing on biochemistry, genetics and evolution alongside digital media and creative writing. I've work experience in translation and language data annotation.
My approach revolves around fostering a creative, playful, and engaging learning environment. I'll tailor the lessons to your personal style, needs, and interests, making them relevant by incorporating real-life scenarios and practical language usage – the types of conversations you'd find interesting and useful in your daily life. I'll encourage you to ask as many questions as you like and take your suggestions and ideas into account.
Whether you're aiming to improve your conversational skills, academic writing skills, or creative writing, I'm here to support and guide you in achieving your language goals. Additionally, being familiar with technical and scientific terminology, I'd be happy to assist with your visa or citizenship preparation.
I believe music, video, and cinema are excellent art forms to utilize in the learning process, and I'd be happy to discuss movies, shows, or songs or even incorporate singing into our lessons if that sounds like a fun idea. I'm open to discussing any topic, from your favourite TV shows to science and philosophy!
Can't wait to meet you and start learning together!

Lia is an amazing teacher. I honestly recommend that if you are looking to learn and improve your English quickly and with pleasure you should choose her as your tutor. She is very dedicated, and encouraging, and combines humor and creativity in her lessons. She went on to learn about the specific professional subjects I am looking to improve on (psychology and sexuality) to provide me with the most accurate tutoring. She also sent me materials to study subjects like pronunciation independently between lessons. it's worth mentioning that she was also very considerate when I needed flexibility in scheduling and content of the classes.Diego
