About Me

My passion is teaching, and I enjoy helping adult learners who are serious about improving their English for conversation, Business English, and real-life communication.
I’m a certified ESL teacher (TEFL, University of Toronto) with a specialization in Business English and a Bachelor’s degree in Business. I also bring over 40 years of experience in the software industry, along with teaching business courses, allowing me to offer practical, real-world English used in professional settings.
My lessons are friendly, structured, and fully personalized. We focus on speaking practice, fluency, pronunciation, and building confidence through real-life communication. This may include conversations, meetings, presentations, interviews, emails, and reports. I also enjoy working with professionals in technical and medical fields.
As someone currently learning Spanish, I understand the challenges of speaking a second language. I provide patient, supportive guidance to help you improve step by step.
When you take lessons with me, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals and use English more naturally and confidently in your everyday life and career.

She really helped me not only to build confidence in my spoken English but also in how to face a job interview. We practiced common interview questions and the proper way to answer them based on your own background. Recommended.

My English classes with Donna are more than just lessons in language, they are also rich with life advice. I am truly fortunate to have her not only as a tutor but also as a mentor and friend from whom I can learn.
