Hello!

Hello! I am from Canada. I have spent part of my adult life as a Secondary Math Teacher, and I have also spent over 5 years working with one of the worlds largest Engineering contracting companies, working with people from all over the world. I love being outdoors and hiking. I love mountains and paddle boarding. Meeting new people is one of my favourite things to do. I look forward to meeting many new people tutoring! Students 18+ only.

I am a former teacher in Canada. I specialized in teaching Secondary Math. I have also worked in the corporate world with Engineers from all over the world. I have spent one semester living abroad in Sweden. I love travelling and have been to 20+ countries. I love meeting new people. But mostly I love to spent my time in the mountains hiking, or at the beach on my paddleboard. I would describe myself as someone who has a passion for life, and the older I get the more I embrace how beautiful this world and the people in it are. 18+ only.

Specialties

Teaching Style

I am someone who loves to make learning fun! Learning shouldn't feel stressful. My goal is to make you feel confident when speaking English. So I create a safe space where you can work on your English and develop those skills feeling safe and supported. I love having conversations with students from around the world and learning about your culture. If you are looking for conversation practice I welcome students who want to have deep conversations and I also welcome light-hearted conversation. I love to throw a few games into the mix at times. I want you to have the best experience practicing your English. Looking forward to chatting with you and helping you learn!
