About Me
italki teacher since Apr 8, 2020InterestsWritingMusicHistoryFilms & TV SeriesReading
Hi, I’m a certified English teacher from Niagara Falls, Canada, now based in Toronto. I hold a bachelor’s degree in music and a master’s degree in psychology. With over eight years of teaching experience, I specialize in helping students build confidence and fluency in English.
My hobbies include music, travel, and literature, and I’ve lived and taught in countries like China and Indonesia. Along the way, I’ve learned French to a basic level and Mandarin to an intermediate level, so I understand the challenges of learning a new language.
I’m a patient, calm teacher who speaks clearly and slowly to make sure you feel supported in every lesson.Me as a Teacher
I’ve taught a wide variety of learners, from young children to adults. My journey started as a music teacher in Canada, and I later moved to China, where I taught English in high schools, kindergartens, and training centers. During the pandemic, I transitioned to online teaching while living in Indonesia, and I’ve continued teaching both online and in-person ever since.
This diverse experience means I can adapt my lessons to your needs, whether you’re just starting or looking to master advanced English skills.My lessons & teaching style
My lessons are tailored to your goals. Whether you want to improve your speaking, expand your vocabulary, or refine your grammar, I create practical, interactive lessons to help you succeed.
I use a mix of resources, including books, worksheets, videos, and even music, to make learning enjoyable and effective. Take a look at my course options to find the best fit for you!My teaching material

He quickly understood my weak point and suggested action plan to improve my fluency. He's a great listener and a disciplined teacher.
I'm glad I found him because that's exactly what I was looking for.
