Hi students! Most of my lessons are by appointment. Many students want the same time each week so I will be happy to send you an invitation.
I am both a teacher and an occupational therapist. I motivate and encourage each and every student to meet their goals. I really enjoy this job because I get to know people from all over the world and share in their life experiences. My workdays are never the same because my students are all so different!
Me as a Teacher
I’ve been a teacher both in a classroom and online for over 13 years. I have taught many students whose first language is Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Russian, or Portuguese.
I have a 150 hour TEFL Certificate. I have a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and have also obtained a master's degree in Occupational Therapy. I hold National Board Certification and a Florida state license in Occupational Therapy. Additionally, I am a Norton trained Certified Lymphedema Therapist.
My lessons & teaching style
Classes with me are fun, relaxing, and enjoyable. I like to create a comfortable learning environment for my students. We can talk about a topic of your choice and practice pronunciation and grammar. I enjoy talking about food, music, culture, exercise, medical topics, beauty and cosmetics, life and personal goals, American/Korean/Chinese television shows, and movies. You can share with me your goals and the materials and topics you would like to cover during lessons. For interested students, my Myers-Briggs type is INFJ.
