Chill American Teacher from Miami -TEFL certified/10 years of experience - bilingual English/Spanish Hey, what's up?! I'm Hiram, a laid-back English teacher from Miami, FL, USA with over 11 years of experience! I traveled around Europe for 9 years teaching English, am a musician, and also bartend at a brewery. My passions include music, cinema/series, history, literature, philosophy, comedy, food, culture, and much more! I'm fluent in English and Spanish and speak quite a bit of French. My teaching style is pretty chill. While teaching myself French, I would often feel confident in my reading and listening skills, only to find myself struggling to find the right words when it came time to speak. I learned the hard way that this can only be improved by practicing. That's why I want you, as my student, to feel comfortable talking to me as if you were just chatting with an American buddy at a bar while traveling around the world. I believe natural conversation and sharing stories with each other (and I have a lot of crazy stories) is the absolute best way to improves ones language skills! :) I have a bachelor's degree in English with a focus on creative writing and a double minor in philosophy and anthropology, a master's degree in liberal studies, and TEFL certification, all from the University of Miami.

🇺🇸 EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION 🇺🇸 My name is Kai, and I am from the USA. I speak with a standard American accent like you would hear in most Hollywood movies. For the past 6 years, I have been extremely fortunate to travel all around the world and live in over 14 countries. My work (and my passport) gives me the freedom to live this adventurous lifestyle. During my travels, I have seen how powerful effective communication can be. It can open doors, build trust, and transform your life. Naturally, I have developed a set of methods and tools to understand others and make myself clearly understood. Now, I help others do the same so that they can express themselves and navigate socials situations with confidence. As a global citizen, I noticed a major problem in the ESL market. English learners give too much attention to grammar, vocab, and test scores. Every word is a reflection of who we are, and students are only trained to perform well on exams or interviews and not explain who they really are in English. Over time, ESL learners unconsciously build a second version of themselves that is passive, unsure, overly formal, awkward, and disconnected from their real personality. I see this as more than just a language issue, I see this as an identity distortion. It is my mission to help learners structure an identity in English that is confident, authentic, and able achieve results in life .

Real Conversations. Real Progress. Real Confidence. I'm a creative, honest, and calm individual, and that naturally reflects in my teaching style. I enjoy thinking outside the box, so my methods, perspectives, and explanations are often unique and unconventional—offering students a fresh, engaging approach to language learning. 🚨 Please note: I typically work with adults. If you are between 11 and 17 years old, please message me before booking a session. 🚨 In my humble opinion, one of the most important roles of a tutor is to help students become independent learners. That’s one of my top priorities. I also strive to create interesting, meaningful conversations that are not only useful for language development but also enjoyable.
