I specialize in helping teens and adults master *real-world* English—whether for confidence, careers, or cultural connection. As a 20-year U.S. Air Force veteran and 13-year high school teacher, I blend discipline with approachability. My 5+ years teaching ESL online and living abroad mean I understand the challenges of learning a language *and* adapting to new cultures. Certified in TESOL and Military Science, I focus on practical skills: clear pronunciation, persuasive conversation, and cultural nuance. Let’s make English *work* for you!

Me as a Teacher

😀 The best way I can say it is, "I enjoy people's company and consider noone a stranger!" I genuinely enjoy talking with people, learning their stories, and having meaningful conversations about a wide range of topics. Since I’ve lived in several different countries, I bring an eclectic, global perspective that naturally fuels curiosity and discussion in my classes. My background as an Air Force veteran, a 13-year public school teacher, and as a parent, has shaped me into an organized, culturally aware, and people-centered educator. Above all, I aim to create a learning environment where students feel comfortable, respected, and excited to engage.

My lessons & teaching style

My lessons will be goal-oriented. Most importantly, they will be “personalized” according to the “specific” part of learning English that the student wants to improve the most. Whether the student’s focus is, improving their pronunciation, improving their accent, improving their vocabulary or improving their conversational skills, my lessons will accomplish the mission. My teaching style is structured, approachable, and conversation-driven. I focus on creating a relaxed, yet professional environment, where students feel comfortable speaking and sharing ideas. Drawing on my experiences living in multiple countries, I connect lessons to real-world perspectives and encourage open discussion.
