I'm a Canadian who has been living abroad for the past 18 years, and I truly enjoy exploring new cultures and connecting with people from all walks of life. Traveling has given me a deeper appreciation for different perspectives, and I believe this helps me create a warm and welcoming environment for everyone I meet.

I had my first lesson with Andrea today. She’s very calm, patient, and easy to talk to. Her experience with foreign languages is fascinating, and I’m sure we’ll have lots to discuss. I’m really looking forward to our next lesson!
