Hi! I’m Marissa, a TESOL-certified ESL teacher with 7+ years of experience helping adults and teens speak confidently and master everyday English. Whether you’re practicing conversation, expanding vocabulary, or polishing writing, I tailor lessons to your goals—think engaging discussions, real-world articles, and interactive activities.
Originally from Alaska and North Carolina (now soaking up Florida sun!), I bring a love for language and culture into every class. Let’s make learning fun and effective—book a trial and let’s chat!Me as a Teacher
I have been an English language teacher for seven years. I have a Bachelors in English and a TESOL certificate for teaching language learners. I have tutored students in language, reading, and writing. I am happy to help you at any level to reach your goals in learning English.My lessons & teaching style
I love free talk and conversation classes but I also have other classes with materials for students. I enjoy using articles and other written resources to help with reading fluency, writing, and vocabulary. I will work with my students level and goals to learn English in an interactive way. I like curriculum from Linguahouse, Eslpals, and Engoo daily news.My teaching material
