Introduction:

I help people reach English fluency by tapping into their innate curiosity about life and the world.

My specialty, after 13 years of teaching English, is conversation and motivation.

I’ve taught thousands of students online through platforms like VIPKID and Cambly.

My classes are dynamic and focused on making students feel comfortable and confident when speaking.

I don’t correct every mistake, as it’s more effective to focus on the main message.

My philosophy: "Where there’s a will, there’s a way."

I adapt to each student based on their interests and personality.

A typical class involves chatting about topics you enjoy—travel, nature, etc.—learning vocabulary, and exploring real-life situations.

I’m spontaneous, positive, and love improvising, making my lessons fun, engaging, and unique.

These classes aren’t for those just looking to pass an exam but for those who truly want to speak English.

If that’s you, join my class!

Teaching Specialty:

Everyday English › Advanced

There is an advanced English but many times it is not what people think - with complicated words in textbooks. Instead, native speakers speak to each other in certain ways that many learners do not learn. I can use my native level English skills to talk to the student in more natural-sounding ways that you would encounter in real life, instead of in a textbook.

English Basics › Vocabulary / Useful Phrases

I use the most common tools: YouTube, Google, ESL Learning Websites, ChatGPT, Sporcle (a trivia site). These websites have more than enough resources for anyone to learn English, especially vocabulary words. Instead of reinventing the wheel, I use them for class and in turn show how the student can use them in his or her own language learning journey.

Everyday English › Free Conversation

My main resource is simply listening and talking to the student to guide them to find, use, and learn from their interests. I have a fascination with many things in the world and nature, and I am genuinely interested in life, and this is what I instill in my students.
