Hello!
👋🏽 I’m an American English teacher, originally from California, with international teaching experience. I work with learners (aged 16 and over) who want to improve their speaking fluency, confidence, and ability to communicate naturally in real conversations. I help you speak natural, confident English through relaxed conversation and guided materials. I have been teaching English for 8 years, and have taught students from over 20+ countries. My focus is speaking practice through relaxed, supportive conversation. I help you express your ideas more clearly and comfortably in both everyday and professional situations. *I do (not) focus on test preparation.* Instead, I specialize in helping students build real-world speaking confidence and communication skills. As mentioned, I use guided materials and structured conversation topics to help you speak more naturally, including real-world situations such as Business English when relevant. My lessons are friendly, relaxed, and focused on helping you speak more and feel more confident over time. I appreciate respect for privacy and ask that lessons are not recorded or shared outside the platform. I look forward to speaking with you 😃.
Travel has played a big role in my life. I’ve lived in Taiwan, Thailand, Mexico, Tanzania, and Rwanda, and have visited Italy, the UK, Spain, Portugal, Indonesia, Colombia, Morocco, and Ghana. I speak a little Spanish and Chinese and am currently improving my Spanish. In my free time, I enjoy watching documentaries, human interest stories, mysteries, and sci-fi films, and I like going to the beach and spending time with family and friends.

Teaching Style
My teaching style is warm, relaxed, and conversation based. I focus on helping you speak as much as possible during lessons, with natural correction and guidance as you talk. We improve fluency, vocabulary, pronunciation, and confidence through real conversation, not memorization or grammar drills. I use structured conversation topics and guided materials to support natural speaking practice and keep lessons focused and effective. My goal is to help you feel comfortable expressing yourself in English and to build confidence in both everyday and professional communication.
