About Hannah

I'm a registered nurse turned English teacher. I help internationally trained nurses, carers and doctors communicate safely and confidently with patients and colleagues.

We practise the conversations you have on shift — admissions, handovers, explaining medication, calming a worried relative — using real clinical scenarios rather than textbook dialogues.

Why this works: A niche plus a matching background (nursing) is the most persuasive combination on the site. Learners in that field will choose her over a generalist.

What your first lesson looks like

1. We talk through your role and the shifts or settings you work in.
2. A role-play of one patient conversation, recorded with your permission.
3. A personalised list of clinical phrases and a plan for exam or workplace goals.

Why this works: Mentioning shift patterns and workplace scenarios signals she understands her learners' real lives.
