Yara Kaya

I am a passionate and experienced English tutor with a strong background in teaching students of all ages and levels. Born and raised in Australia with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Melbourne, I combine my native English proficiency with a deep understanding of language learning challenges and cultural diversity.
My Teaching Approach:
I believe learning English should be engaging, practical, and tailored to each student's goals. I use interactive, student-centered methods including storytelling, games, music, and real-life conversations for younger learners, while focusing on academic skills, exam strategies, and professional communication for teens and adults. Every lesson is customized to the student's personality, level, and objectives — whether they want to build confidence, prepare for IELTS, improve business English, or simply enjoy speaking fluently.
Experience with Different Age Groups:

Kids (3-10 years): I specialize in making English fun through creative activities, songs, games, and visual aids. I create a warm, supportive environment where even shy children feel confident to participate. My experience at the Centre for English Teaching at the University of Sydney helped me develop effective techniques for young learners.
Teens (10-18 years): I provide academic support, exam preparation (IELTS, PET, KET), and communication skills. My lessons combine grammar, reading, writing, and speaking practice in an interactive way that keeps teenagers motivated.
Adults & Professionals: I focus on real-life English, business communication, job interview preparation, and exam success. I have helped many students improve their careers and achieve their target IELTS band scores.

Additional Qualifications:
I have taught students worldwide through platforms like Preply and Native Camp. My students come from diverse backgrounds (China, Italy, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and more). I have received several awards including Outstanding Young Learner Engagement, Global Tutor Excellence, and Innovation in Online Language Instruction.
I am patient, energetic, and fully committed to helping each student make visible progress. Whether you are a parent looking for fun English lessons for your child, a teenager preparing for exams, or an adult wanting to improve fluency and career opportunities — I am here to support you every step of the way.
