Hello!

I am a TESOL certified English teacher, specializing in exam preparation, with over 8 years of experience teaching online and in the classroom. Please note, I am an adult-only tutor. I can help you enhance your conversational English skills, grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. I am also an IELTS, TOEFL, CELPIP, and Cambridge exam prep tutor. I hold 2 IELTS teacher training certificates and TOEFL, CELPIP, and Cambridge teacher training certificates. I can assist students in all aspects of these exams (speaking, writing, listening, and reading). I have taught students of all levels from many different countries around the world. I am a patient teacher that will take notes and give you constructive feedback in each lesson. I also have a background in psychology, health, fitness and yoga. In addition, I have a wide range of interests, including traveling, hiking, and cooking, so there is a lot we can talk about!

I love to travel and experience new foods and cultures. I have visited 45 countries so far, and I have lived in South Korea, Cambodia, India, Georgia, and Croatia. I enjoy spending time in nature and all things related to hiking, fitness, and yoga. I spent 14 years working in the social service field in Canada. I have also worked in the fitness industry for over 15 years teaching fitness, yoga and meditation in Canada and Asia.
