About Me
italki teacher since May 24, 2018Interest topicFoodReadingTravel
Do you struggle to communicate in English even though you've studied for years?
I help committed English speakers who want to be confident in English for work, travel and life in English.
Let's find connection and belonging in English through resources that native speakers love.
I am an American K-8 teacher, certified in TEFL. I have been a classroom teacher, administrator, and online teacher.
I think life is an adventure! Born in Canada, I was raised in South Korea. As a teacher, I've lived in the Rocky Mountains of the USA for many years. I love slow-travel and am interested in food, people and culture.Me as a Teacher
We'll work with resources that native English speakers love and I’ll teach you how to find them for yourself.
Feedback, corrections and an audio of our conversation is a part of every lesson.
Learning a language is so much more than a weekly meeting with a fantastic teacher. I'll teach you how to find the ‘good stuff’ ... the material that engages YOU!
Propel your lifelong study of English in engaging and inspiring ways with authentic material.
If you have a solid foundation in English and want to feel the freedom of speaking without stress and desire the confidence to enjoy yourself while interacting in English, try a lesson with me!My lessons & teaching style
RELAXED CONVERSATION is a conversation with me on a topic of our choice. I will give you feedback on your grammar, pronunciation and help with needed vocabulary. An audio of our conversation is available for you to review. This is not a formal lesson. It is relaxing and enjoyable.
INSPIRING CONVERSATION WITH A LESSON is based on a short, interesting video or audio usually with a transcript or keywords and phrases that we'll use in our conversation.
Discussion questions lead to purposeful and engaging conversation and an audio of the lesson is available.
Confidence in spoken English opens doors of opportunity.My teaching material

My teacher and I acted out different scenarios from real life, such as shopping in a Sports Store, looking for a lost item at a Shopping Center, etc. Teacher Laura was so supportive! She gave me very helpful tips to help me speak English more confidently.
