I grew up in West Africa and lived more than half of my life outside of the United States. I have lived in Cote D'Ivoire, France and Thailand as well as Hawaii, Florida, Connecticut and Pennsylvania. I also love to travel and have traveled around the United States and the world. My interests are in nature, art, music, education, science and human psychology. I love learning about how people can become happier, healthier human beings and I love to talk about this with my students too!

Me as a Teacher
I am a respectful, patient and kind teacher. I help my students feel safe to speak freely and make mistakes. I want my students to feel comfortable, be interested and have some fun while learning. Studies have shown that feeling calm, interested and happy helps people learn better and remember what they have learned. I have been interested in education and teaching all of my life. In school, I tutored my classmates through university helping them receive higher grades on tests and exams. I began tutoring as a job while still in university and have remained a tutor or teacher, part or full-time since, over 15 years. I have about 5 years of experience teaching English as a second language.
My lessons & teaching style
I try to teach English as efficiently as possible. A few examples are:
- I make sure my students know a list of 721 that make up 90% of spoken English. I also help my students understand how those words "fit in" to the grammar of English. After that, there is a list of 2800 words that make up 90% of ALL English, both spoken and written English, as well as a list for Business and/or Academic English.
- There are many different ways to say the SAME thing in English and I help my students practice how to do that correctly.
- Memory will be better when someone can explain, teach, or give examples. I have my students "teach me" concepts that the already been learned.

The conversation with Julia was very pleasant and interesting.
She is involved and makes you feel comfortable, which is key to being able to learn and progress.
I highly recommend her.

Hey Julia, thanks a lot for that great class, I am learning many things with you, you are showing me to see the grammar in a funny way
Julia’s sooooooo friendly and reliable. I’m literally not afraid of making any mistakes when I talk to her. And she can customize learning plans for students. Highly recommend!
