Narelle Lewis

I'm an ESL teacher, language lover, and community organiser. Based on the Gold Coast, Australia, I have over a decade of international teaching experience and a passion for cultural exchange. I help students of all ages feel confident and empowered in English — whether you're learning for work, school, travel, or everyday life.

PROFESSIONAL ESL TEACHING

I currently teach part-time at a local language school on Australia’s Gold Coast. I work with both adult students and young learners from diverse backgrounds. My approach is practical, engaging, and tailored to real-world communication needs.

I hold a valid Blue Card (Working with Children Check) and have experience across all proficiency levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners. With over a decade of international classroom experience in France, Andorra, and Scotland, I bring both structure and flexibility to every lesson.

I'm open to additional part-time ESL roles with schools, training organisations, or community programmes.

PRIVATE ENGLISH LESSONS

I also offer one-on-one and small group ESL lessons, both in-person on the Gold Coast and online.

These sessions are ideal if you want to:

  • Improve your speaking, listening, grammar, and writing

  • Build confidence for work, study, or travel

  • Prepare for IELTS, PTE, PET, FCE, CAE exams, visa or job interviews

  • Practise English in a friendly and relaxed environment

Lessons are tailored to your level, pace, and goals. Whether you're a total beginner or just need help polishing your skills, I’ll meet you where you are.

✅ Flexible scheduling
✅ Casual or ongoing lessons
✅ Free 15-minute discovery call available

ABOUT ME

I grew up on the Gold Coast but spent over 20 years living and working across Europe — in France, Andorra, Scotland, and the U.S. I speak fluent French and Spanish, and have always been drawn to languages, communication, and building inclusive communities.

I first began teaching English in the south of France and ended up teaching in universities, engineering schools, language centres, and associations — including the University of Toulouse and Paul Sabatier University. I’ve taught learners of all ages and levels, and I especially love helping students feel more confident expressing themselves in English.

Since returning to Australia in 2022, I’ve re-established my teaching career and am excited to bring my international experience into classrooms and private lessons here on the Gold Coast.

GOLD COAST INTERNATIONAL CLUB

In July 2022, I founded the Gold Coast International Club — a social community for people who love travel, languages, and culture.

The club now includes:

  • Nearly 4,000 Instagram followers

  • Over 500 active WhatsApp members

  • Regular events like hikes, BBQs, language exchanges, game nights, and road trips

Many members are international students, working holiday makers, or locals looking to practise other languages and meet people from around the world. I’m now expanding the club to include curated local tours that showcase the unique beauty of the Gold Coast region.
