About Me

I'm from Los Angeles, CA and I have 3 years of experience as an ESL Tutor and English conversation partner. I have worked with English learners from Japan, Korea, Germany, Vietnam, Turkey, India, Colombia, Brazil, China, Mexico and more!
I love learning about culture and history from all over the world (I majored in International Studies, of course) and I am passionate about learning languages myself. I'm trilingual in English, Spanish, and Arabic!
In my free time, I love to explore my city, hang out with my cat, read fiction and books about social science, and watch movies!Me as a Teacher
As a conversation partner, I try to create a comfortable and relaxed environment for students to practice their conversation skills. I am a curious and conversational person! I’ll ask you a lot about yourself, and your interests and opinions. I expect you to share with me topics that you want to discuss or practice.
I use the General American Accent in my sessions and I speak very clearly for foreign learners. I can adjust based on my student's needs. I can detect common grammar and pronunciation issues, which are unique to speakers of different languages.
I can also speak faster and more casually for those who want to learn native speech and slang in my Los Angeles, California accent!My lessons & teaching style
Many students have different goals in their target language, so I like to collaborate with students on conversation topics. While our sessions will primarily be conversation practice, we can sometimes pause to quickly go over a grammar or pronunciation point that comes up a lot. I may introduce some materials like articles, videos, movies/books to discuss!
Most importantly, I know that students fear speaking the most out of all of the language skills due to shyness, lack of confidence, and a fear of making mistakes. I create an environment where learners feel safe and not judged, because the best learning comes from making mistakes and learning from them!
