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.

A wonderful teacher! She created a very comfortable learning atmosphere, kept the conversation going and prompted me to speak. Looking forward to our next lesson!
