About me
I'm a linguist, ESL professional, and comedian. I received a M.A. in Linguistics/TESOL and my focus is to motivate and help people learn languages more efficiently and successfully. I do everything I can to increase your confidence! When I'm not teaching, you can find me learning languages, doing standup comedy, or at the gym!
Whether you're preparing for job interviews, working on fluency, or tackling grammar, I’ll tailor our lessons to match your goals. My lessons are interactive, supportive, and focused on real-world communication so you can start speaking with confidence from day one.
I have taught English since 2015, in 3 countries, online and in-person. I have experience teaching both general and business English. My master's degree focused on linguistics and language acquisition which has given me the expertise to help students acquire a language. I also received certifications in TESOL/TEFL to help ensure lessons are planned in the best way for students. I strongly believe in the usefulness of reading and students can expect to learn a lot passively.
I'm here to motivate and guide you on your language learning journey! With my expertise in linguistics and years of teaching experience, I will help you learn efficiently and boost your confidence. Let's embark on this exciting adventure together!

This was truly a wonderful lesson. Tanner was a very responsible teacher who understood your goals in advance and prepared accordingly, making the lesson incredibly rewarding.They also summarize new vocabulary during class and send it to you afterward, which is really helpful.stefano
