    About me

    Hello, my name is Ava!

    I currently live in Vancouver, Canada. I lived in San Francisco for 16 years.

    I’m an experienced ESL teacher with 16 years of helping students from around the world build confidence and succeed in learning English. Teaching isn’t just a job for me, it’s a true passion. I love creating fun, engaging lessons that are tailored to each student’s needs, whether you’re learning English for school, work, or everyday conversations. My goal is to make learning English exciting, effective, and rewarding for you.


    When I’m not teaching, I enjoy skiing, doing yoga, learning new skills, exploring new cultures through travel, reading great books, and experimenting with new recipes in the kitchen. These experiences inspire me to bring fresh ideas and cultural connections into the classroom.


    I’m here to guide you on your language-learning journey and can’t wait to help you achieve your goals!


    I am a dedicated ESL teacher with 16 years of experience helping students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds develop confidence and proficiency in English. My teaching journey has included working in schools, language institutes, and online platforms, enabling me to effectively support learners of all ages and skill levels.


    Certifications

    • TESOL/TEFL Certification – Comprehensive training in language acquisition strategies, curriculum development, and classroom management.


    Teaching Methodology


    My approach is student-centered, adaptable, and engaging, with a focus on:

    • Communicative Language Teaching (CLT): Developing practical speaking and listening skills for real-world communication.

    • Task-Based Learning: Encouraging active learning through hands-on activities that promote critical thinking and collaboration.

    • Cultural Integration: Embedding cultural context into lessons to make English relevant and relatable.

    • Scaffolding Techniques: Gradually building understanding through step-by-step instruction to ensure success for every learner.


    My passion for teaching extends beyond language instruction. I aim to empower students to achieve their academic, professional, and personal goals while embracing the cultural richness that comes with learning English.


    Get ready to embark on a fun language adventure with me! Together, we'll build your confidence in English through engaging activities and cultural connections, making every lesson exciting. I can't wait to see you shine and achieve your goals!

    She is a great English teacher who focuses on different aspects of the language. She includes phrasal verbs in the lessons, works on reading comprehension through questions, and finishes with listening activities. Her classes are well-balanced and effective.

    I’m so glad I found Ava. I feel comfortable with her and really enjoy our lessons. I like that she follows a clear lesson plan and corrects my pronunciation while I speak. I can already feel my English improving.
