Want to be sure we are a good match?? Let's have a trial lesson. I'll teach you a couple things, we will learn about each other and then we can decide on a path together!

Tell me what you are interested in and I will prepare materials to help us have a fun and educational experience. My favorite part of teaching English is hearing about other people, I will help you find the words to express yourself correctly and say what you really want to say. My goal is to help you feel comfortable and confident, so all corrections will always be given constructively and kindly. I’m here to help, if you have questions, send me a message 😊

Conversation (Let's Talk!)

Let's get you to the next level! We will use newspaper articles, videos, songs, and games to improve all of your skills. The lessons will be designed around your interests, so every step is fun and relevant to your life. 
After class, I will create an online set of flashcards, with the words we dicsussed, to help you review vocabulary . In addition, to help you improve your grammar, I will create a google document where you can review grammar tips and do optional homework exercises.
