My name is Erin, and I am originally from San Diego, California. I have been teaching English for the last fourteen years, and I absolutely love it. Besides teaching, I also love traveling and learning about different people and cultures around the world. So far, I have traveled to 38 different countries, but I still have many more to go. My hobbies are learning new languages, photography, listening to music, watching movies, salsa dancing, writing, and cooking. Although I grew up in America, I have spent the last 14 years living abroad in Italy, China, Japan, Thailand, Australia, and Spain.
Ik als leerkracht
Teaching is truly one of my biggest passions in life. I really enjoy helping my students meet their learning goals and seeing them succeed. I am experienced in teaching beginners, intermediate, and also advanced students from ages 5-76. Over the last 14 years, I've taught at elementary and junior high schools, private language schools, and universities. My experience includes but is not limited to the Kanda Institute of Foreign Languages (Kanda Gaigo Gakuin) and NYU's Tokyo campus.
My specialties are:
- Speaking
- Pronunciation
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Conversation practice
- Business English (I have an MBA)
- Culture
- Test preparation (IELTS/TOEIC/DUOLINGO)
- Medical English
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Learning on Italki has given me a lot of great examples of how to create fun and engaging lessons. I like to use at least 2-3 different learning platforms or support materials to help keep lessons interesting. In general, I try to maintain an easy-going and relaxed teaching style to help you feel comfortable when making mistakes. You should never feel bad about making mistakes because these are the moments when we learn in life. However, if you prefer the lessons to have a stricter/more corrective tone, I can easily adjust to that as well. I usually use presentation slides, pictures, audio/video files, and various materials to help give you an English experience you can use in real life.

This summer holiday, I totally booked 40 lessons for my son. The purpose is to improve his English pronunciation. Erin did a good job. She used very basic, but effective way, correct his pronunciations from A to Z, each letter by each letter. Now, the holiday finish, my son got very big improvement.

Erin is an outstanding teacher. She is very attentive, adaptable, and has a strong understanding of intercultural differences between Asian, European, and American contexts.
Her listening skills and flexibility, combined with her MBA and business background, allowed her to quickly and accurately understand my professional expectations.
She was highly relevant, engaging, and tailored to my real needs. I highly recommend her.
