Hello! I'm a native English speaker from the U.S., currently based in Beijing, China. With extensive experience in business, finance, and technology, I help both professionals and casual learners build real-world conversational confidence. Having traveled to 28 countries, I am very comfortable with diverse accents and cultures. Let's make English feel natural and enjoyable, whether you're preparing for work, travel, or everyday life!
Me as a Teacher
I'm passionate about connecting with people from all corners of the globe! My business background, combined with years of traveling and living abroad, has given me deep insight into effective communication across cultures. I understand firsthand what it takes to express yourself confidently in any situation!
My lessons & teaching style
I specialize in conversational lessons for adult language learners tailored to each student's interests. My approach is informal and flexible, designed to give students authentic, real-world speaking experience. I want students to feel comfortable being themselves while practicing the words and phrases they'll actually use in everyday life. My lessons prioritize student speaking time and focus on topics that are fun, exciting, and personally engaging to them.

I’m very grateful to Emmanuel for the lesson. The session was interesting, productive, and easy to follow. I especially appreciated the clear explanations and supportive atmosphere. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their English skills and gain more confidence in speaking. I’m looking forward to our next lesson.

Emmanuel is the first teacher I have met in italki. He is so friendly and easy to communicate with. He listened to me very patiently and shared his travel experience with me. This class has strengthened my confidence in learning English. I hope to continue learning with Emmanuel!
