I work full-time at an Ivy League university in the U.S., and I posses a PhD in Educational Leadership, a master's degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), a bachelor's degree in French, and a bachelor's degree in advertising. In addition to my current management role, I have taught academic English to international students at the university level for 15 years. Prior to becoming an educator, I worked in the business world, and I have extensive experience working with global business professionals on their advanced language skills and presentation skills. I have also traveled to 55 countries and have taught and trained teachers in Japan, Korea, China, and Malaysia.Me as a Teacher

Each lesson will be personalized and tailored to the specific needs of the student.My lessons & teaching style
