Hello!

Hi Students! 👋 I'm so excited to meet you! I was raised in the United States of America, but now have lived in Sierra Leone Africa for more than 7 years. I love talking to students from around the world. I love connecting with my students and building friendships, but most of all I love to find out exactly what my students need and be that for them.

My husband Jon and I have been married 17 years. I love living in Africa. I love to meet people from all around the world In my free time I like to spend time with friends, in person and on social media, I enjoy baking, caring for my animals and reading.

Teaching Style

My teaching style is relaxed and I like to allow the student to tell me which type of lesson he/she would like for a time, then when I get to know you better, and see areas that need help, I will make lessons focused on that until you feel comfortable with that skill. Also students are welcome to tell me which area they would like to focus on, Grammar, Vocabulary, Conversation, Idioms, or something else.
