Certified TEFL teacher with more than 10 years of experience I was born in the United States and lived there for most of my life. I grew up in Louisiana but also lived in Washington, DC, and Pittsburgh, PA. During my third year of college, I did an exchange program in Tokyo, Japan for a year. For most of my career, I worked as a software engineer. I moved to Brazil in 2012 to be with my husband. I completed a 120-hour TEFL certification from the University of Toronto in November of 2020. I have practiced Aikido, a Japanese martial art, for more than 20 years. I enjoy cooking and spending time with friends and family. I also enjoy reading history, neuroscience, and science fiction books. My first experience as a teacher was in my martial arts club in Pittsburgh. I taught for 10 years. Though this seems quite different from teaching a language, it was, in fact, excellent preparation for my career as an English teacher.

To achieve fluency in speaking, one cannot carefully think about each word or phrase --- words and phrases must be automatic.

Christine absolutely is a great teacher! With the wonderful expertise and patience, she guide me to learn and practice the pronouncing rules step by step. The method works for me, letting me know the reason why I can not speak out words well and how to improve it. Thank you, Christine!

It was my first experience with a private english class. It was so fun! Christine was amazing. She told me her method of work, we discussed my goals, she also shared some useful links and recommended some books. I was a little bit nervous, but she made me comfortable in the class. It was a really good experience.

Christine is one of the best teachers I’ve ever met. Every time we have a class, I not only learn new vocabulary, but work on unclear points in grammar, which are explained by Christine excellently! Thank you!
