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'm not just a teacher. I want to be your friend, mentor, and someone you can rely on.
My classes are a completely relaxed, judgement-free space. I guarantee it's unlike anything you've experienced before. I love my job, because I get to see how teaching changes my students' lives. No two lessons are the same. I'm going to custom-tailor every class to match your learning style and preferences.
I will be patient with you and supportive, while still motivating and challenging you.
I promise to be on time, give you my full attention, and explain everything with complete clarity.
Let's do this!
I specialize in teaching adults ages 20 and up at the A2-C2 levels.
I understand how difficult learning English can be, so I make the process easy and fun.

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!
