Specialties

Teaching Style

My approach comes from my experience teaching English as a foreign language in Thailand. There are many different ways we learn new skills, and I provide a calm and easy-going space to practice the English language. My skills as a counsellor also help people feel relaxed and heard during the lessons. Learning anything new can be difficult and mistakes will happen, but it is how we deal with the mistakes that make a difference. ๐ŸŒฑ
