About Me
italki teacher since Mar 21, 2018InterestsScienceTechReadingFoodTravel
Hello š!
Iām a polyglot tutor (English, French, Spanish, Haitian Creole) with 7+ years of helping learners speak confidently *and* culturally. Whether youāre into tech, jazz, or global documentaries, letās turn your interests into fluent conversations, with a side of terrible jokes (I collect them!).
My secret? Languages thrive when theyāre alive: through idioms, proverbs, and stories that stick.
Ready to learn like youāre swapping tales with a friend? Message me, letās begin! šŗMe as a Teacher
My students are also my teachers. Every lesson begins with me guiding them, but by the end, weāve both learned something new š¤.
My goal is to help you become as fluent as possible by focusing on topics that matter to you, your passions, your interests, what drives you.
I also want to show you that language learning doesnāt have to be hard. With a clear motivation šÆ and a personalized approach, fluency becomes not just possible, but enjoyable. šŗ

Leila did a great job making me feel comfortable. There was a glitch with our meeting time and she went above and beyond to make it happen. I was nervous and she put me at ease speaking and engaging using just the right amount of talking and listening with gentle corrections. She used tools to make it easier for me to see as well as here. She recommended resources and gave me homework. Iām looking forward to our next class.
