Introduction:

Fun & friendly native English speaker offering conversation practice for business, pleasure or both!

Hello! I'm a native English speaker from the U.S.—positive, outgoing, and passionate about helping people feel confident speaking English in any situation. I've traveled to over 50 countries and spent 13 amazing years living in Australia, which has given me a deep appreciation for different cultures and communication styles.
My academic background includes a Bachelor of Fine Arts and an MBA, which allows me to connect with students from a variety of professional and personal backgrounds. I aim to make our lessons lighthearted yet focused, where you feel comfortable expressing yourself and growing your fluency through consistent, natural conversation.
In our sessions, we’ll explore a wide range of topics, practice real-life scenarios, and work on sounding more natural and relaxed in English. Whether you're preparing for travel, work, or just want to feel more confident socially, I’ll tailor our conversations to fit your goals.
I'm also learning Spanish myself, so I understand the challenges of learning a new language and enjoy supporting Spanish-speaking students.
Think of me as your friendly guide on this English-learning journey—a relaxed space where mistakes are part of the process, and learning is both effective and enjoyable. Let’s build your fluency and confidence together, one conversation at a time.

Teaching Specialty:

English Basics › Vocabulary / Useful Phrases

I use Engoo articles and other real-world materials to introduce and practice useful vocabulary and everyday expressions. We focus on learning words in context and speaking naturally. Whether preparing for daily interactions, professional settings, or academic life, I help students build their vocabulary and confidence step by step.

Everyday English › Situational Conversation

These sessions are ideal for preparing real-world English scenarios — from casual chats to job interviews or academic discussions. I use role-play and targeted conversation practice to simulate everyday situations. If needed, I also incorporate real interview questions or custom prompts to help students feel more confident and prepared.

Everyday English › Free Conversation

I create a relaxed and supportive environment where students can build fluency through natural, flowing conversation. Lessons are student-led and tailored to individual interests, with gentle corrections and vocabulary support throughout. I often suggest topics or let conversations evolve organically, depending on student goals and confidence level.
