I am a native English speaker from the United States with a TESOL certification and extensive experience teaching learners from diverse backgrounds. I am deeply committed to helping students achieve their personal and professional goals—whether they are advancing in their careers, settling in a new country, or exploring literature more deeply. My teaching style focuses on building confidence in reading, speaking, and vocabulary, making English a practical and empowering tool for every student I work with.
Ik als leerkracht
I have been teaching English since 2006. My first teaching experience was as a volunteer in Thailand, where I supported refugees in developing their English skills to prepare for resettlement. After returning to the United States, I continued this work by volunteering with a local literacy organization, offering one-on-one instruction to refugees and other immigrants. I also spent several years volunteering online with a nonprofit that supports women professionals in developing countries, helping them strengthen their English for career advancement. These experiences have shaped my student-centered approach and deepened my commitment to making language learning a pathway to opportunity.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I offer three types of lessons designed to meet your goals:
Reading – Designed for advanced learners. Lessons focus on discussion, interpretation, and vocabulary development—helping you read with confidence and insight.
Conversation – For learners who want to speak more confidently and naturally. Each lesson focuses on fluency, vocabulary, and clear communication—helping you express yourself with ease in real-life situations.
Rhythm, Stress & Intonation – A focused listening and pronunciation lesson using examples of authentic American speech. We analyze how native speakers connect words, reduce sounds, and use natural rhythm and intonation—helping you better understand fast speech.

I just finished another long journey of reading a book by Dickens thanks to Betsy. Without her, I would not think of opening this book .

The first lesson with Betsy was amazing. She was extremely well prepared before the lesson, and during the lesson she was very friendly, patient and supportive. Betsy went out of her way to help me improve. She was engaged in the lesson, providing a lot of corrections and useful feedback without interrupting the flow of the conversation. I highly recommend her!

I honestly feel so lucky and grateful to be learning from Betsy. She is truly the best teacher I’ve ever had. She genuinely listens to what I’m trying to say and helps me express my thoughts in a clearer and more natural way.
Thanks to her guidance, I’m expanding my vocabulary and learning how to use new words in my own sentences more naturally and confidently. I still have a long way to go, but I feel myself growing with each session. I always look forward to our lessons!

Thank you so much for this wonderful discussion and the thought-provoking questions you shared with me. I had plenty of opportunities to speak and felt challenged when I shared my ideas throughout the lesson. I look forward to our next lesson.
