    About Me

    American by birth, I have studied, taught and worked internationally in the U.S., China, Germany, Cambodia and Switzerland.

    I believe in setting learners up for success by giving them the tools to do the job and understand information by themselves. Learners are first assessed based on their intended targets and lessons planned to reach those goals.

    Education

    I was awarded my B.A. in Psychology and German Literature from the University of Virginia, followed by my Masters of Teaching in Elementary Education also from UVA. I earned my MSc in International Hospitality Business Management through BHMS Lucerne (in partnership with RGU in Scotland).

    Experience / Qualifications

    5 years teaching in international schools in China, Cambodia, Germany
    2 years working in marketing and sales in nightclubs and schools

    Conversational English and IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation.
    A certified English Teacher| Master’s degree| Started teaching 9 years ago| Taught all ages and levels| Specializing in Conversational English| IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC, SAT preparation. My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also have to make sure that the learner is not running in a circle. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation. In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves: • Improving their grammar. • Fixing their pronunciation. • Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms. By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently. PS: Currently, I’m working on my PhD thesis in English literature. Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.
