Hello!

I'm a Taiwanese-American who was born in the UK and grew up in Japan. I currently live in the Washington DC area and have been tutoring on Cambly for 6 years and love it. I enjoy conversing about a wide variety of topics and don't easily offend. I like to keep things easy going and fun. Oh! And I like to travel...I'm at 56 countries and counting and have lived in the UK, USA, Germany, Japan, and spent my childhood summers in Taiwan and the Philippines.

I enjoy traveling, fishing, cooking, gardening, spending time with family and friends, hiking with my dog, and watching K-dramas.

Specialties

Teaching Style

I'm a conversationalist who can talk about anything. I believe a positive and cheerful attitude puts students at ease and helps build their confidence. I also believe humor makes the conversations FUN, so I will often joke around. I can do lessons, but prefer talking as I think that is the quickest way to learn a language. For my advanced students, I prefer teaching them idioms and helping them with their pronunciation so they can sound like a native speaker.
