Teaching Staff

Hello. My name is Nataly. I have been an English teacher for more than 16 years. Since 2006, I have taught general English (GE), English for Academic Purposes (EAP), and test-preparation courses (IELTS, TOEFL, and IGCSE ESL) in different contexts in and out of the UK and to different age groups. I have also recently taught the University Foundation Programme (UFP) Communication Skills module at Bath Academy and delivered TESOL lectures and seminars to undergraduate and postgraduate students at Bath Spa University. I am a passionate language teacher with a keen interest in learning languages myself. Along with learning languages, I also like reading poetry, travelling, visiting museums and galleries, and listening to music.

Hello there! I’m John, and I’m truly passionate about teaching English as a second language. I’ve been on an incredible journey in the world of English Language Teaching, and I’m excited to share it with you.

With over 9 years of teaching experience, I’ve dedicated the past 4 to Bath Academy, where I’ve had the privilege of working with students from all around the world. This year has been particularly exciting for me as I achieved qualifications in Delta Module 2 & 3, demonstrating my commitment to excellence in ELT. Currently, I’m gearing up to take the Delta Module 1 exam in December, aiming to further enhance my skills and knowledge.

My journey started back in 2014 when I earned my CELTA qualification, and from there, I spent five rewarding years teaching in Spain. Upon my return to the UK, I continued my journey at Bath Academy. I have enjoyed supporting students on their English language journey, helping them excel in their exams and achieve their goals.

I’m here to make learning English fun and engaging for my students. I believe that learning a language should be a fun and enjoyable experience.

I am a languages graduate with a Diploma qualification in EFL. I started my teaching career at a language school in Bournemouth before becoming an EFL lecturer in Southampton. I have since taught general, business and academic English to both young learners and adults in Bath and Bristol. Most recently my teaching has been focused on the IELTS and IGCSE exams. In my spare time I enjoy walking and going to the theatre.
