My name is Alisha. I am an outdoor enthusiast who loves traveling in search of new experiences. Learning something new about the world, especially different cultures, fascinates me. My dream is to see the world, and meeting people from different destinations is part of that dream. Until I reach that goal, I look forward to meeting students from various backgrounds who can teach me what they love about their culture through learning English online.
When I'm not teaching, I enjoy listening to music, writing, hiking, photography, art, horseback riding, and reading, to name a few, for the list of my interests is ever-growing.
I look forward to meeting you!
*Please keep in mind I do not teach children under the age of 13 (TestPrep only).
Learning is a process that never stops. As educators, our job is to facilitate learning as a guide. My philosophy as a teacher is to help guide students toward success and ensure they take full advantage of their unique skills and abilities. In a classroom, students learn best when they are relaxed, enjoying themselves, and engaging with meaningful and thoughtfully provided material based on their learning needs. Students will target goals while assessing weak areas, including grammar, pronunciation, writing, reading, and listening skills, and most importantly, while having fun in an engaging environment!
I use a communicative language teaching approach (CLT), which allows students to learn from their conversations surrounding their interest...Mijn lesmateriaal

Alisha is the most trustworthy tutor I have ever met. She helped me achieve a TOEFL score of 98, guiding me step-by-step from being a complete beginner in English to where I am now. Her support went beyond just preparing me for the exam; she played a crucial role in helping me gain admission to the graduate school I wanted.
I particularly struggled with writing. Back in China, the education system doesn’t focus much on English writing, so I was still at a very basic level. I used to spend two hours writing just a 200-word essay! Alisha patiently taught me how to structure essays, improve my writing skills, and craft a strong statement of purpose. Her teaching didn’t just help me with my current application but also laid a solid foundation for my future academic and professional endeavors.
I am incredibly grateful for her support!

As a teacher, Alisha is always inspiring and encouraging, propelling me to pursue my dreams. She is knowledgeable and generously shares her insights, helping me become familiar with the U.S. and European countries. She assisted me with the application process for a master's/doctorate degree in the U.S., and I have now received an offer from a university ranked among the top 10 for the program. Don't hesitate to reach out to her if you need to refine your speaking/writing skills.
