Hello!

Hello everyone. I am an experienced English teacher with 12 years of experience. I taught English in South Korea to children and adults. I taught pronunciation, grammar, reading comprehension, conversational skills, and Business English. I am from the United States and I currently teach in Vietnam.

I began my career as a financial advisor in the United States. I worked in the financial services industry for 12 years and then moved to South Korea where I taught English to children and adults for 12 years as well. Not only did I teach general English, I also taught basic communication skills to both children and adults.

Teaching Style

I teach by correcting common grammar mistakes but focusing on verbal fluency. I believe that grammar is important but people learn languages by speaking. I have a unique way of teaching pronunciation and I make every class interesting. Every student is different and I tailor my classes around each student's needs and weaknesses.
