Hello!

Hello! I'm Shay from the U.S. I've been helping people speak English since 2019. I ​love travelling around the world, and meeting others who want to learn my language! (Please note: I am mainly a Cambly KIDS tutor, and have very limited availability for classic Cambly students at this time)

I was born and raised in rural Missouri (USA), but have lived in South East Asia and Europe. I'm familiar with being a language learner, and know what it is like to teach yourself a new language! I've travelled to 18 different countries throughout Europe, Asia, and South America (a few of my favorites are Guatemala, the U.K., and Chile!) In 2019-2021 I lived in Phnom Penh, Cambodia and worked as an English teacher for kindergarteners. In 2022, I moved to Germany where I worked as an "au pair". Nearly all of my teaching has been done with children, so I use lots of energy and enthusiasm when tutoring! 🤩

Teaching Style

As a child's tutor, I keep high-energy and use a lot of facial expressions and gestures. I interact best with people who are excited to learn, and are willing to make mistakes and receive correction. I do a quick evaluation on every new student at the beginning of the class.
