Hello, my name is Addie! I hold a Master's Degree (MA) in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL) from The Ohio State University.
In 2022 I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Education (BSEd) from The Ohio State University, double majoring in World Language Education and Spanish and minoring in World Literatures.
I have experience teaching English in Oaxaca, Mexico, and I married into a Peruvian family in June 2025. Thus, I can appreciate the meaningful intercultural exchange facilitated through language study.
I am passionate about learning languages, meeting new people, and engaging in cultural discussion. I would love to help you practice your English!
My teaching philosophy is centered around immersion and experiential learning. I believe that engaging in meaningful intercultural exchange is one of the best ways to grow in the target language. Having earned a Master's Degree in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL), I understand the nuances of language acquisition and I'm excited to help you navigate the English language!

Addie is one of the best teachers I have found on italki. She is very easy to talk to and she is always in a good mood. I like how she always makes sure that I understand some word or phrase that she uses and I might not know. Thanks for being a wonderful teacher and person.

Today was my first lesson with her, and it was so much fun! It was a 60 minute lesson, but time flew by. I learned lots of useful idioms, words, and expressions. I'm already excited for our next lesson next week. :) Thank you so much!

Since last summer I've been studying English on iTalki, and Addie was my first teacher. I thought, I would practice speaking, learn to listening comprehension, and so on.
But I've learnt much more: about American culture, methods of learning (Addie likes to repeat: 'work smarter, not harder'), and, the most important, that lessons and study English can be exciting.
Thank you, Addie, you are awesome! :)
