I specialize in Modern American English vocabulary—fun, practical, and tailored to your goals! As an ESL teacher, I create engaging word games and structured lessons to make learning stick. Whether you’re prepping for conversations, exams, or just love words like I do (Scrabble fan here!), let’s build your confidence together. Based in Canada but with global experience (Korea, Philippines, Cambodia), I blend cultural insights into every lesson. Why me? Organized, student-centered, and passionate about helping you speak naturally. Let’s turn vocabulary into your superpower!
Me as a Teacher
Very organized and maybe a little too serious. I think the class time is precious and should not be wasted. I think one secret to being a good teacher is to let the student talk !!!
My lessons & teaching style
I offer the student many options. First is my speaking program. I designed a complete speaking program for learning Modern American English. Second is free talking with a topic or without a topic. Third is a complete vocabulary of Modern American English. We can study any words or idioms from any level that you like. We can also do whatever you want to do.
