Hello!

"Do you know what a foreign accent is? It's a sign of bravery." -Amy Chua. I want to help you advance your English skills in a fun way with easy conversational lessons! I love to talk about travel and current events and I also love to help prepare students for job interviews and presentations as well as improve their pronunciation. My goal is to help you to become more comfortable and at ease, with speaking to native English speakers. I specialize in conversations with Intermediate and Advanced learners over the age of 12.

I am an artist, and I love to draw. I am also a world traveler (34 Countries and counting), and I most enjoy learning about other cultures and traditions. Cambly does not show my open times if they are less than 6 hours in advance. So, if you are interested in having a class with me today but do not see time on my schedule, please message me, and I can make a reservation for you. For new students, please do not book a lesson longer than 30 minutes. After we have met, we can discuss longer lesson times. Thank you for understanding.

Teaching Style

I am very patient and understanding. I like to laugh and have fun. So, in my lessons, we can talk about anything that interests you. If you are LGBTQIA+, this is a safe space for you. I especially like discussing Travel, TV Series, Movies(especially sci-fi like Marvel and DC), and Current Events. We can use Cambly Lessons, read news articles, or have an engaging conversation. I also have a lot of experience interviewing people, so if you need to practice for an interview, I am here for you! I spent nearly 12 years traveling around the US giving presentations so if you need to practice your work presentation, I am happy to help. It's your choice! I understand that some parents allow young people to use their accounts, please know that I prefer to teach people ages 12 and up who are Intermediate or Advanced level. I ask that, if you are not able to attend your reservation, please cancel the class. We are required to wait in the open class for 10 minutes, which means I cannot accept another student for that time(Tutors are NOT paid for the full reservation if you do not attend). Thanks for understanding.
