I could talk forever! I love holding one-on-one classes with students to talk about anything from current events, sports, their interests, etc.! My conversation classes are based on a topic and/or reading material. I have a natural talent for asking thought provoking questions and I even have a WeChat group for my Chinese-based students to send voice memos to each other everyday and to talk about whatever!

I have taught all kinds of business professionals, from CEOs to entrepreneurs and even diplomats! I have extensive experience working with several U.S. Fortune 500 corporations in technology and financial fields. I am naturally business-minded and I use my skills to teach others. I hold a certification in teaching Business English and I specialize in teaching one-on-one sessions to adults looking to move forward in their career using English.

I am a certified IELTS specialist with 60+ hours of experience crafting IELTS preparation curricula.

I am native to the U.S. and the majority of my friends are U.S. natives as well. I have direct insight into American culture and how Americans relate to and socialize with each other. For example, Americans do not like to openly talk about politics while French citizens love talking politics! When I worked in Paris, every lunch break with my coworkers would end with a detailed political discussion. It was seen as unfriendly to not engage in French politics, but I would most certainly lose friends talking about politics in the U.S.!

Since English is one of the most popular languages in the world, it is typically available to use when traveling anywhere. I have taught classes for students that are about to visit an English speaking country to review basics needed to navigate through a foreign country. I love doing travel report classes and hearing all about places my students have visited!

I am a certified TOEFL specialist with 60+ hours of experience crafting TOEFL preparation curricula.

I aim to establish a relationship with each student in order to create an authentic experience to help them grow their conversation skills using English. I customize my lesson plans specifically to each student's needs and learning styles to help them meet their goals. I am passionate about seeing people grow!
