About Me
italki teacher since Mar 21, 2018InterestsScienceTechReadingFoodTravel
Hi there! š Iām a polyglot tutor (English, French, Spanish, Haitian Creole) with 7+ years of turning language learners into confident speakers. Letās swap stories, whether about jazz, tech, or that documentary you canāt stop thinking about. Bonus if you bring a joke! My heart beats for cultures everywhere. Ready to make fluency feel like a chat with a friend? Message me, letās start! 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

She did a great job facilitating natural conversation and gave me a lot of opportunity to speak. She gave me plenty of examples for curcumlocution and reviewed the phrases, vocabulary, and grammar that stood out the most to her as areas of improvement during our conversation. I really enjoyed our session and absolutely would book again.

I had my first conversation with Leila and it was great.
She has been very nice and made me feel comfortable from the first moment.
We talked about many topics and i really appreciated hearing her perspective, and also learning a little bit about Haiti's food and some Creole expressions.
Thank you so much!
