Your MOTIVATION + my EXPERTISE = English FLUENCY!
Whether you're focused on getting a work promotion, university studies, business travel, or increasing your confidence, English is what's holding you back. I teach Business, Academic, and General English. My specialty is in Canadian English because I completed a Minor in Canadian Studies at the University of Toronto. I'm certified in TEFL, Adult Education and E-Learning. My students live in China, Spain, Switzerland, and more! Many of my students are actually studying or working in Canada (or planning to move here).

*Canadian Culture Club YouTube channel!Me as a Teacher
I have 8 years of experience as an English teacher with certifications including TEFL and E-Learning, so I'm very savvy with technology and the virtual classroom! We'll use an online classroom platform to work on engaging grammar lessons, vocabulary and more, and use real world materials to improve your cultural competence—the key to achieving an advanced level in any area of English.
Together, we'll agree on your custom curriculum to meet your goals in our classes together. We'll also regularly check your progress!
I also studied Canadian Studies in university so I'm uniquely qualified to teach culture.

We'll create a custom curriculum focused on your unique goals. You want to achieve fast results and you're dedicated to improving your job opportunities and lifestyle through English. I support you all the way!
Here are examples:
-- If you have an important interview coming soon, we'll do mock interviews, study the company, and prepare you for the work culture. It's the same if you have to give a presentation.
-- Or, if you want to study abroad in Canada, we'll revise your motivation letter, CV or resume, and improve your academic writing. We'll also learn about Canadian culture!
During our classes we'll use real world media in addition to your formal lessons to improve your fluency.My teaching material
