My name is Erin, and I am originally from San Diego, California. I have been teaching English for the last fourteen years, and I absolutely love it. Besides teaching, I also love traveling and learning about different people and cultures around the world. So far, I have traveled to 38 different countries, but I still have many more to go. My hobbies are learning new languages, photography, listening to music, watching movies, salsa dancing, writing, and cooking. Although I grew up in America, I have spent the last 14 years living abroad in Italy, China, Japan, Thailand, Australia, and Spain.
Ich als Lehrkraft
Teaching is truly one of my biggest passions in life. I really enjoy helping my students meet their learning goals and seeing them succeed. I am experienced in teaching beginners, intermediate, and also advanced students from ages 5-76. Over the last 14 years, I've taught at elementary and junior high schools, private language schools, and universities. My experience includes but is not limited to the Kanda Institute of Foreign Languages (Kanda Gaigo Gakuin) and NYU's Tokyo campus.
My specialties are:
- Speaking
- Pronunciation
- Reading
- Writing
- Listening
- Conversation practice
- Business English (I have an MBA)
- Culture
- Test preparation (IELTS/TOEIC/DUOLINGO)
- Medical English
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Learning on Italki has given me a lot of great examples of how to create fun and engaging lessons. I like to use at least 2-3 different learning platforms or support materials to help keep lessons interesting. In general, I try to maintain an easy-going and relaxed teaching style to help you feel comfortable when making mistakes. You should never feel bad about making mistakes because these are the moments when we learn in life. However, if you prefer the lessons to have a stricter/more corrective tone, I can easily adjust to that as well. I usually use presentation slides, pictures, audio/video files, and various materials to help give you an English experience you can use in real life.

Dear Erin, I sincerely want to express my heartfelt gratitude for the invaluable lessons you have provided me with. Your teachings have proven to be immensely beneficial in my preparations for the Duolingo test. Initially, my goal was to achieve a score of 100 points, but with your exceptional guidance and outstanding classes, I was able to exceed my expectations and achieve a remarkable score of 120 points! This incredible feat truly fills me with joy and gratitude.
Moving forward, I eagerly anticipate attending your future classes as I strive to continuously improve my English skills. I firmly believe that with your wealth of experience and motivational teaching approach, I will undoubtedly be able to progress and achieve even greater milestones along my language learning journey. Thank you once again for your unwavering support! :)

Erin's classes were always good. She prepared all lessons perfectly and tried to match for the student. Her lessons had educational goals and we could go for it together. She is really smart so we could talk about every theme I want. Also she has empathy, so the talk with her were always graceful. I feel like we are friends. I really want to have her as a lifelong tutor for english! Thank you, Erin!
