I specialize in making English fun and accessible for learners of all ages! With a Master’s in Elementary Education and years of coaching diverse students, I blend creativity with structured lessons to build confidence. Whether you’re mastering grammar or conversational skills, I tailor each class to your goals—because learning thrives when it’s personal. Let’s turn challenges into victories together!Me as a Teacher
My priority as a teacher is to create a comfortable, fun environment where students feel confident and supported. I build strong bonds with my students through trust and patience, and my experience in diverse settings has helped me break down complex ideas into manageable steps. I believe students learn best when their teacher is passionate, which is why I bring excitement to every lesson. As a facilitator, I value equal respect for all students, regardless of age or background, and strive to create a classroom where everyone can thrive.My lessons & teaching style
My teaching style focuses on making learning fun and relevant. I believe students thrive when their teacher is passionate and when they have autonomy in the classroom. I love working with people because each student is unique, and I believe everyone learns in their own way. Language learning can be challenging, so I encourage all questions and welcome challenges. While my lessons typically start with vocabulary, followed by grammar introduction or review, and end with a relevant game or activity, I always make sure my students have a voice in how they prefer to learn.My teaching material

I've had a truly positive experience learning English with Madeline. She's not only friendly and approachable but also incredibly skilled at creating a safe and supportive learning environment. This made me feel comfortable to practice and learn without fear of judgment. Madeline's lessons are very well-structured, making it easy to follow along and understand the concepts. She provides clear explanations, and her corrections are always constructive and helpful. I've noticed a very good improvement in my English skills since I started learning with her. I highly recommend Madeline to anyone looking for a dedicated and effective English teacher
