Learning can be fun!!
My motto is to create a relaxed atmosphere where we can talk a lot and focus on communication.
I’m here to support you in speaking, reading, and writing.
It's perfectly fine to make mistakes!
Mistakes are a natural part of learning, so let’s talk without worrying!

Thank you for another great class! Amos is learning a lot more than when I was trying to teach him myself!

Oh my goodness! What a kind and knowledgeable teacher. She is wonderful with kids, and my 7-year old had a great time this morning! He loves Pokemon, and he left our trial lesson knowing the names of six Pokemon, four types of Pokemon, a few descriptive words, and some new greetings and ways to say goodbye. He got off the call and said "that teacher is so nice!" Well worth the cost. We'll definitely continue with her.

Rui is so sweet. My son loves his lessons with her and she is so patient when he forgets a word. So glad we found her!
