I am so happy you decided to look at my profile. Students who want to learn English must be able to immerse themselves in a pedagogy that supports their views and values and introduces them to the essential skills necessary to be successful. I work with students and their families to identify the correct learning strategies and then continue to support them throughout the learning process.
As a former ESL teacher in Asia, the Middle East and the Pacific Islands, I learned to value and respect the views and cultural aspects of students and focus on the task of helping them to become superior English speakers.
My passion is to inspire students to move beyond barriers so they can have a breakthrough in all areas of learning English. Whether you prefer to focus on TOEFL or Cambridge preparation, grammar, writing, speaking or listening, I am competent in with working with beginners, intermediate and advanced students.
I am available for individual or multiple sessions to fit your needs. Sliding scale available for those who qualify.
