Hi there!
Are you ready to have the best English learning experience of your life? Then you should definitely work with me!
I'm a 32 year old Chicago native and I've lived in the United States for my entire life. I love American culture and the English language. I can't wait to discuss them with you!
I've taught students all over the world of every age, race, and background. I'm looking forward to meeting you and learning your story.
I worked in sales before I started teaching. I've sold everything from real Estate to IT Solutions.
My personal interests are: singing, playing guitar, writing, fitness, food, travel, and video games.

I am really grateful to Brett for a very informative but, at the same time, easy and cool lesson. I’ve learn a lot and now I have answers to many of my questions related to conversational English. Looking forward for new lessons!

My first class with Brett was pretty good.
He was so dynamic during the class which made it really interesting and entertaining.
I really appreciated that he gave feedback and explanations for each exercise I did, which is so helpful for me to improve my English skills.
