Hello! Welcome to your first step in achieving your language goals. I am a native Californian with a mission to help others improve their lives.
I teach because I get satisfaction from helping others make individual positive changes which can lead to broader positive change.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Everyone can learn -- no matter your age, education level, or personal history. I adapt my lessons and instruction to your own personal needs and goals. I structure my instructional time around providing as much real world application as possible of the skills you’re learning. Practice, practice, practice is the key to success!
Don't wait! Now is always the perfect time to begin or to continue your journey of self improvement.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Every student learns differently. I have over 16 years of experience teaching both in the classroom and online. Over that time, I have learned and refined different methods to instruct different types of learners. My methodology is to craft and adapt my instruction based on your goals, skill level, and learning style.
