I taught English in Taiwanese classrooms for six years, and my students ranged from ages 6 to 50. I've been teaching all age groups online for twelve years.
Additionally, I have tutored university students in preparation for the TOEFL and IELTS exams.

My teaching style is thoughtful, engaging, and friendly. In addition, I always encourage my students to be honest with me about their opinions and needs.
My lessons are centered around the goals the student is striving for. My services include speaking, reading, writing, and listening practice. We will work on determining what learning style works best for you and then move forward with your goals in mind.
