My name is Erin, and I am originally from San Diego, California. I have been teaching English for the last fourteen years, and I absolutely love it. Besides teaching, I also love traveling and learning about different people and cultures around the world. So far, I have traveled to 38 different countries, but I still have many more to go. My hobbies are learning new languages, photography, listening to music, watching movies, salsa dancing, writing, and cooking. Although I grew up in America, I have spent the last 14 years living abroad in Italy, China, Japan, Thailand, Australia, and Spain.
Teaching is truly one of my biggest passions in life. I really enjoy helping my students meet their learning goals and seeing them succeed. I am experienced in teaching beginners, intermediate, and also advanced students from ages 5-76. Over the last 14 years, I've taught at elementary and junior high schools, private language schools, and universities. My experience includes but is not limited to the Kanda Institute of Foreign Languages (Kanda Gaigo Gakuin) and NYU's Tokyo campus.
My specialties are:
- Speaking
- Pronunciation
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Conversation practice
- Business English (I have an MBA)
- Culture
- Test preparation (IELTS/TOEIC/DUOLINGO)
- Medical English
Learning on Italki has given me a lot of great examples of how to create fun and engaging lessons. I like to use at least 2-3 different learning platforms or support materials to help keep lessons intere...
I am preparing for an upcoming conference presentation, and the lessons designed specifically for this purpose have been incredibly useful. Erin provides clear guidance and practical feedback that directly supports my goals. I would strongly recommend her to students with various objectives, from academic presentations to professional communication. :)))
