About me

Hello, I'm Yanika.

I'm a London-based English tutor with experience since 2024 helping adult learners from all over the world become more confident, natural communicators. Whether you want to connect better with people, explore ideas in English, or simply enjoy the feeling of a good conversation that flows — I'd love to be part of that.

My lessons are relaxed and conversation-driven. I don't believe in one-size-fits-all textbooks or stressful grammar tests. Instead, I ask thoughtful questions, explore topics you genuinely care about, and gently guide you towards expressing yourself with more ease, accuracy and confidence.

I'm also a language learner myself — which means I truly understand the frustration of knowing what you want to say but struggling to say it. That understanding shapes every lesson I teach. My goal is simple: to create a calm, supportive space where you feel comfortable, curious, and genuinely heard.

You'll love these lessons if…

My favourite students are curious people who genuinely enjoy a good conversation — whatever their reason for learning.

You love language and want to enjoy the process

You're not just ticking a box — you're genuinely curious about English and want lessons that feel good, not like homework.

😌

You feel shy or hesitant when speaking

You know more than you think — you just need a relaxed, safe space to let it out. Mistakes aren't just okay here, they're expected and welcomed.

🗣️

You understand English well but want to speak more naturally

Your reading and listening are solid, but real-time speaking still trips you up. Conversation practice is exactly what bridges that gap.

🧩

You're done with textbooks and grammar drills

You want real conversations about real things — not worksheets. Each lesson follows your interests, not a curriculum.

🌱

You want to grow at your own pace, without pressure

No deadlines, no tests, no rushing. We go at the speed that feels right for you — whether that's weekly or whenever you fancy a session.

🌍

You need English for daily life, travel, or work

Whether it's navigating life in an English-speaking country, connecting with people abroad, or feeling more comfortable at work — we'll practise the English that actually matters to you.
