Hello!

Hello! My name is Serena and I am originally from the United States but I have been travelling and spending time with my family in different parts of the globe for the past few years. I love teaching. I love helping others communicate. I love helping bridge gaps. Due to this, I have been teaching in various areas since 2013. These ten years I have learned many things and how to adjust to different learners. I cannot wait to help you on your English learning adventure so that you can encourage someone else. When we decide to step out of our comfort zone and learn something new - that also gives others the strength and confidence to start thinking of doing that, too. So well done! You already are inspiring others. Let's continue to inspire more as they see how you progress. Book a class with me today :)

I love anything creative! That is probably why I use so many different creative strategies while I teach. Let's talk about the things that you like. Let's talk about swimming, or trekking. Let's talk about dancing or cooking. Let's talk about traveling. Let's talk about watercolour painting or photography. I love all of these things, too, and many more things.

Teaching Style

I love to use games and songs to supplement learning. I also fully believe that normal day to day conversation and working on comprehension in your target language is a huge key to success. Reading and speaking are both very important. Using small passages and having a normal conversation based off of what we have read is another tool I like to use. Then, having fun with the information is always important! As much as possible, we can throw a simple game in to practice getting rid of any nerves. Mistakes will always be made when we learn anything. Let's embrace them :)
