Hello!

I am a Broadcasting and Journalism degree holder with a TEFL certificate. I speak, write and read English at a Native level. I'd like to become your English tutor.

I enjoy reading and writing. So much so, in fact, that after I finished college I worked as a magazine editor, a journalist and recently a judge for a writing competition. Some of my favorite authors are Karin Slaughter, David Baldacci and Suzanne Collins. Aside from that, I enjoy crocheting and knitting as well as listening to music. These hobbies help me relax while creating fun and exciting projects that I get to share with my loved ones.

Specialties

Teaching Style

Generally I help with Conversational English, however I do have corporate as well as academic experience and would be able to handle most Business and Academic English classes. I have a relatively "hands-on" teaching style. I like to give real life examples of how words/phrases/sentences apply to whomever I teach by first learning their interests and learning objectives in order to keep them engaged in the learning process by relating lessons to said interests and objectives.
