Hello! I’m Nadia, a certified native English teacher from New York City with 13 years of international teaching and tutoring experience. I hold a Master’s in Education from Harvard and a law degree from Fordham and am also TEFL-certified at the Level 5 Diploma (168 hours). I scored in the 98th percentile for GRE verbal and writing and passed the New York Bar Exam on my first attempt. I specialize in fluency coaching and communication for professionals, academics, and motivated learners. My lessons are structured, engaging, and results-driven. If you're ready to speak confidently, write clearly, and succeed in English, I’d love to work with you!
I’m a licensed and certified teacher who has worked with professionals, teens, and children in a variety of settings. I’ve taught in international schools in South Korea, U.S. classrooms, and as a private tutor. While earning my Master’s at Harvard, I trained in American schools. I’ve helped students improve fluency, academic reading, and communication skills, and I’ve supported North Korean refugees as an English instructor. I focus on creating purposeful, student-centered lessons that help learners gain confidence and make real progress.
My lessons are structured, personalized, and focused on fluency, clarity, and confidence. Each session includes targeted vocabulary, natural conversation, and feedback on grammar, pronunciation, or writing as needed. I adapt to your goals, whether that means sounding more professional, speaking more...My teaching material

영어 문장에서 관사를 구별하는 게 어려웠는데 선생님께서 잘 설명해주셨습니다. 수업 내에서 다양한 활동을 할 수 있어서 좋았어요! 특히 저는 추후에 토플이나 다른 시험을 위해 말하기/쓰기 부분을 집중적으로 배우고 싶었는데 저의 상황에 맞게 자료를 준비해주셔서 큰 도움이 될 것 같습니다.
