Petrina

Hi there!

My name is Petrina, I'm an Irish mother, scientist, and entrepreneur.
Together, we'll create a bespoke program to make our lessons enjoyable and progressive.
I'll work to your strengths so you're not discouraged, while also providing challenges to ensure you improve. Your time improving your English skills is valuable, especially when it's time away from family and loved ones.

I'm down to earth and adaptable, enjoying meeting new people and sharing interesting conversations. We learn so much from each other every day.

I've worked in senior business roles in science, pharmaceutical research, and business communications. I also enjoy community, nature, the arts, and volunteering, which makes me skilled in down-to-earth conversations and expressions too.

I've taught English to Japanese and Korean adults who wanted to communicate on complex topics to match their intellect. I loved learning about their lives, culture, and beautiful countryside.
Having lived in Canada as well as Ireland, I love traveling, which has given me a unique perspective on different cultures and ways of life.

I've taught English for various purposes, including sharpening business skills, planning holidays, and discussing cultural differences. My students have ranged from 7 years old to 75 years old.

While I love children, I prefer working with adults who want to advance their skills rather than start from scratch. Let's make learning enjoyable and meaningful together!
