Hello!
✨ A Little Schedule Update ✨ Hello everyone! 😊 I wanted to let you know that I’ll be moving and traveling from October 26th through November 23rd, so my Cambly schedule will be a little more limited than usual during this time. I’m very sorry for any inconvenience, especially to my regular students who may have a harder time finding our usual class times. I’ll still be opening lessons whenever my schedule allows, and I truly hope we can catch up in class during this busy month! 💛 The good news is that this is only temporary! After November 23rd, I’ll be back in full swing with much more availability and my regular schedule again. 🎉 Thank you so much for your patience and understanding while I make this big move. I always enjoy seeing familiar faces and meeting new students, and I hope to see you in class very soon! See you soon! 😊✈️📚********************************************************************************************************************* Hello, Welcome! My name is Niki and I am excited you stopped by to find out more about me. So with out further ado! I have been teaching for 20+ years, Not in a class room setting only. You see I was a Chef in my first career and then went on to be a Business Owner in both a culinary school and a few Bistros. I retired from the very long hours of that side of my industry to land myself as a General Manger of restaurants. So you see I was around people everyday that wanted and needed to learn. Some would struggle until I would say I could help, or why don't we work on this together. What I found was with just 30 minutes to and hour of my time daily they were able to learn! Many wanted to learn English and some wanted to simply learn how to master a soufflé or tackle the food cost inventory spread sheet. So guess what, THEY DID IT! The feeling that comes with helping others learn is what I hope to gain from you in my class. I have a long history of educating myself and would love to pass some of this on to you. Thank you for taking time to stop by and visit, I hope we can meet in one of my class rooms soon! Cheers!
Simply said, I love teaching/coaching others and learning from them as well. I have had the opportunity to meet people from all over the world with many different backgrounds some like mine and some different. The joy I bring and the joy I receive is what keeps me wanting more. I am new to teaching English online, I have volunteered teaching English in Baja California and loved every moment of it. So now I find myself here wanting to pursue more teaching and learning. I have lived in many different countries around the world, and I am excited to learn where my next students are from. What brings you joy? Why are you learning the English language? My hobbies: Food, Animals, and Travel.

Teaching Style
I am able to quickly adapt to your learning style, Some are audio, Some are visual, and some are hands on. I like to work with my students side by side and find their strengths and build up their weakness. With this way of teaching I find my students learn faster and more importantly retain more information! This is the key to learning. Being able to hold on to a good amount of information you learned and building on it. I am great with structured learning if that is what you need but I also find that with simple fun conversation and coaching my students have fun and learn at the same time.
