Hello!

Hello! I am a licensed English teacher from the United States. I have worked with students of all ages from all over the world for the past twenty years, including seven years of online teaching. I also have a TEFL from the University of Toronto with specialty areas in teaching students from South Korea and China. I am married and have three daughters and two step-children. My hobbies are walking my dog, reading, watching movies, and exploring the world. I love to travel and learn about new cultures. I look forward to meeting you!

I am a happy, positive person who loves helping other people. I am patient and know lots of teaching strategies to help you learn. I also have a cat, because I love animals. I like reading and watching science fiction, non-fiction, fantasy, horror, and mysteries, and I like to write those things too. I used to be a newspaper reporter and editor, and I am also work as a writing coach for university students in the United States. I am currently living in Yucatan, Mexico and will be moving to Mexico City at the end of this year.

Teaching Style

I believe in working with each student to determine their strengths, weaknesses, and learning goals, so that I can focus on the areas that will most benefit them. My main focus areas are pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and conversational fluency. I encourage questions and want students to feel comfortable and to enjoy learning.
