About the tutor
Nathalia Acosta
I'm Nathalia Acosta, originally from Colombia, and I'm a TESOL-certified ESL teacher with over a decade of experience.
I've had the privilege of teaching a wide range of students, from young learners in primary and high school to adults at various levels of general English, in both public and private schools. Currently, I focus on upper-intermediate classes, provide private lessons, and help students prepare for the PTE test.
My journey with English began at age five, thanks to my parents' encouragement.
I truly believe that teaching is my purpose; it allows me to be a part of my students' journeys and make a real difference in their lives.
My teaching philosophy centers on creating a safe and fun environment where making mistakes is embraced as a natural part of learning.
I emphasise learning through genuine connection, meaningful interactions, and applying language to real-world situations. I encourage my students to explore, express themselves, and build a supportive community in the classroom.
My message to all my students is to believe in themselves and enjoy the exciting process of learning a new language.
