I am Ms. Chelsea, a dedicated English educator with a passion for teaching. When I began instructing English as a second language in New York. My approach combines high-quality curricula and reputable educational resources to ensure effective language learning. I integrate innovative and engaging methodsāsuch as playful toolsāto create a supportive and dynamic learning environment. My interests extend to biomimicry, where I draw inspiration from natureās ingenuity, and I maintain a lifelong curiosity, documenting my experiences through writing and photography.Me as a Teacher

I really enjoy my lessons with Chelsea. She is always in a great mood. We combine grammar, listening, reading, and conversation in a way that works best for me. The structure of the lessons is flexible based on my preferences, and Chelsea is great at adapting and improvising. She always corrects my mispronunciations in a positive and encouraging way, so I can have fun while learning something new. š
