I am an educator born and raised in Toronto, Canada, with a passion for language and culture. I have over five years of experience in helping students on and offline to improve their English language skills, but even more importantly, to help them become true cultural insiders. Even with so much diversity around me in Toronto, learning a secondary language (French) had always been a challenge for me. As an adult, I moved to Thailand to teach for three years, and I was again, met with the challenge of learning a new language. This time, using Thai culture--not grammar--as a starting point for learning, I finally experienced positive learning results and lasting motivation.

教学经验
This experience was transformational because it shifted me from thinking I could not learn another language to having the confidence to experiment with any language while learning about its culture. Many of my students continue to book lessons because they, too, have had a transformation in their English learning journey. Until this transformation happens for you, you may continue to experience:
⚠️ Difficulty building relationships or starting conversations with North American clients/coworkers
⚠️ Loss of potential professional opportunities because you appear ‘too shy’ or even uninterested in the workplace
⚠️ Misunderstandings in English that you are not sure how to fix
我提供的课程和我的教学风格
My lessons help students experience a transformation in their English journey in three steps:
1. Improving your observation skills to assess how common situations in one's social life and/or the workplace are experienced by all people involved,
2. Identify the expectations of behavior that explain the details you have observed, and
3. Apply a close understanding of cultural expectations in your conversations with native English speakers, allowing for richer personal and professional relationships.
Book a lesson and let’s make a plan to build your flexibility as an English speaker!

Excellent lesson again! We are working on my weak points, especially trying to end with the "ed" pronunciation curse that all Brazilians have.

My Trial session with Shamara went great - She went above and beyond to understand the exact needs and goals of English improvement plan and is putting the effort to come up with a customized plan based on those learning goals.

Shamara is definitely the best English teacher I've ever had in my entire life. She is very professional, so kind, a good listener, her lessons are adapted to your needs and her explanations are clear. She is an open-minded person and we can talk about anything. It's great to have a quality teacher like her. I just bought a 10 pack of one hour lessons and I can't wait to continue improving my English with Shamara! I highly recommend her!
Ps: Go to her YouTube channel. She has a few videos where she gives great tips in English.
