InterestsTravelArtReading

I enjoy having great conversations with people from around the world. I'm friendly and open to talking about many different subjects. I enjoy hiking, traveling, and reading. I also like a variety of music styles and dances. I have a passion for creating fine art, and I enjoy helping people create art. I'm passionate about teaching English. I have a TESOL certificate and a bachelor's degree. I have over four years of experience teaching English online. I also teach art to people with disabilities, and I have about four years of experience homeschooling my children. I love to see my students light up when they find out that they are improving their English skills. I can't imagine a better job than teaching someone a new skill. I'm very kind and patient with my students. I ask students what they are interested in talking about, and I also ask them what their goals are. I tailor my lessons according to their learning speed and ability. I also identify their strengths and weaknesses. I use TPR when needed, and I correct pronunciation and grammar. I sometimes use Google Slides, screen sharing, and online resources. I send out information on what you need to continue practicing and what you need to review for your next lesson. I enjoy having fun conversations with my students. Learning a new language can be difficult, but I'm here to help my students feel confident speaking English.
