I understand linguistic challenges and psychological struggles that hold us back (perfectionism, self criticism, guilt, heritage languages, etc.). I help you learn, and coach going from overwhelmed and stuck to resilient, confident, consistent, and uncovering how to be authentically you in your languages. Besides teaching, I travel and post videos (https://www.youtube.com/@languagetraveladoptee). I structure students' lessons not only keeping their learning style in mind, but also focusing on who they are authentically behind their language studies. Therefore, building long term student relationships is very important to me and my work. I love sharing tips that will compliment language learning habits in general.

Emily is really the best teacher. I’ve been taught by quite a few. I feel so comfortable with her, and she is so patient and kind! She makes learning fun!

Today I completed a trial lesson with Emily. I often get nervous speaking in German because I don't have many opportunities to use the language, but Emily asked a lot of great open ended questions that were challenging and interesting. She also provided me with real-time feedback in the chat. I felt really comfortable speaking with Emily and booked more classes right away!
