I am a native speaker who was born and raised in Southern California (US) I currently live in Milan, Italy. I have a Cambridge CELTA certification to teach English to adults. Prior to getting certified as an English language teacher, I worked in the legal field in California for over 15 years and also served as a volunteer Sunday school teacher in my spare time. I love to cook, travel, and read good books!
Me as a Teacher
My CELTA training has taught me much on the subject of teaching English. Incorporating reading, writing, speaking, listening, and grammar into language learning is essential to a learner's success. I aim to customize lessons for each learner, focusing on the area(s) the learner feels weak. I speak Spanish and Italian so I am very aware of the struggles of students whose first language interferes with learning English.
My lessons & teaching style
My lessons consist of reading, listening, speaking, and grammar. Lessons are based on relevant topics and your interests, not boring textbooks. I use engaging audio and videos that address current topics and I can design each lesson to meet your needs. My personalized approach helps students enjoy the process of learning English.

Janie has been an incredible teacher. She helped me to improve a presentation, both in content and delivery. She was very clever about where I should focus to get the best from this presentation, and was very detail oriented.
I highly recommend taking classes with her.
