As of 2025, I am a full time volunteer as an English teacher in Montenegro. I have taught English in Spain for 1 and ½ years, Japan for 2 years, and the USA for many years which is where I was born and raised. I hold a bachelor's degree in Linguistics from UCLA and I am TEFL-certified. Before teaching, I worked as a certified interpreter/translator for 4 years.
Me as a Teacher
I've taught at public schools, private schools, language schools, online, in-person, hybrid, one-on-one, groups of 30, from working adults to babies barely 2 years old! Also, I've lived to teach English in Japan, USA, and Spain. Where will I go next?
My lessons & teaching style
I take many notes. I take notes of everything! You may take notes if you like, but it's not necessary as I will be doing the note-taking.

Alipio m’apporte des cours qui me permettent de me sentir de plus en plus à l’aise de jour en jour. Il est patient mais suffisamment exigeant pour nous aider à nous améliorer!

It was my first lesson with Alipio, and it was great! We had a nice chat about ourselves and I really enjoyed it. He is so friendly and knows how to create a relaxed atmosphere.
Thank you so much for the lesson!

Alipio is an enthusiastic teacher who is willing to help us with our English.He is easygoing so I am able to get over nervousness and talk with him in a free atmosphere.Alipio grew up in the USA and has worked in Japan for 2 years .Based on such abundant experiences and his intercultural ability,he provided me with some useful information and suggestions. His notes and feedback played a significant role when I decided to review language points and correct my grammar errors. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their English skills.
