Introduction:

I am here to support you in enhancing your English communication skills.

WARNING: I am a Life Coach.
This means that I am more than just a teacher. I am committed to guiding you to the achievement of your goals. I will help you overcome any doubts you might have about achieving them - even goals beyond your English language skills. Do not be scared; I am a very patient and empathetic teacher.

I have been teaching since 2010, though I am newer to teaching English as a foreign language. I am TEFL-certified and a native speaker of American English, who loves helping people enhance their communication so that they can better understand and be understood. As a teacher, I always provide lots of tools for continued practice between sessions.

I also have a background in Business Administration, with a bachelor's degree and a few small businesses I've owned, so I am happy to provide insights and guidance on business in English.

I studied Japanese language in high school, and although that was quite a while ago, I do still recall what it's like to learn a new language. I am always working to improve my own skills as a human and as a coach and teacher. I look forward to connecting with you and growing together!
