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 took time for me to read through a difficult story even going beyond our allocated time to make sure I understood what I was reading. Great teacher!
