English Confidence & Emotional Wellbeing Coach
Hi, I’m Mahina Perrot.
I care about helping people feel more able to express themselves: in English, and in the way they understand their own experiences.
My English lessons and emotional wellbeing coaching are separate offers, connected by the same attention to people, clarity and confidence.
Language beyond the classroom
A life shaped by people, places and conversations.
I studied communication in New Zealand, then worked internationally in journalism, wildlife reporting, hospitality and communications. English was the language of interviews, work, friendships and everyday decisions.
Teaching adults online brought that experience into a different kind of conversation. I saw how much easier learning becomes when it connects to something a person genuinely wants to do.
That is why I build lessons around real situations, with clear explanations, useful practice and room to make mistakes.
What I bring to my teaching
Experience, curiosity and a patient approach.

Emotional Wellbeing Coaching
Conversation, reflection and guided practices to explore what you feel and what matters to you. This is not therapy or medical care.
Explore wellbeing coachingAnother way to share what matters
I also write books.
Writing gives me another way to share ideas, invite reflection and make learning feel more approachable. My books explore English, personal growth and stories that leave room for curiosity.
Sometimes a book offers a useful phrase. Sometimes it opens a new perspective. What you make of it is your own.
