Having taught English Language Arts (ELA) under the Canadian curriculum, leaned 3 new languages, and completed school in 3 different languages, I specialise in helping students with academic English, academic writing, and confident communication. With 10+ years in language schools—including roles as Head of Teacher and Private Mentor—I’ve guided learners from diverse backgrounds to thrive in English.
Currently working for myself, I love connecting with students worldwide on iTalki. Whether you’re preparing for exams, refining fluency, or exploring literature, let’s turn your goals into achievements—one lesson at a time!
