InterestsFoodMedical & HealthcareTravel
I love new experiences, and learning new things! Which means I LOVE meeting new students and learning about their lives and goals. My favorite activities are camping and hiking - nature is where I feel most peaceful! I also like to travel, read, dance and sing! What about you? I'd love to learn about your hobbies and interests!
Me as a Teacher
I've taught English and written English learning materials for over 10 years. I fell in love with teaching when I lived in China. I attended Qingdao and Nanjing Universities and taught English to primary school children. I decided to explore teaching as a full-time career after I graduated from university and moved to Mexico. Teaching comes quite naturally to me. I find great satisfaction in supporting and coaching individuals toward their learning goals...and I come from a family of teachers! "It's in my blood", as we say!
My lessons & teaching style
I use a variety of materials to keep my students engaged and having fun as they work toward their language goals. I customize my classes 100% to focus on each individual's needs and interests.
You will take an English assessment before we meet for our trial class. This assessment will give us a detailed evaluation with an error report to show EXACTLY what YOU need to improve on. So, before we even begin working together you will get something valuable! We will use these growth opportunities to create your customized learning plan so we can work on your English needs in a clear and organized way.
Let's get learning!
Please note:
❗I do not work with young learners under 14❗

Anna is an amazing teacher and coach! She helped me to prepare for a professional job interview. We went through and practiced answers for all the general interview questions. Anna was able to change my sentences/ideas so they sounded more native. And I got the job! I highly recommend that you take lessons with Anna before going to an interview.

We talked about my trip this time. Anna let me describe the details of my trip by asking a lot of questions. She also helped me find the problem I had when I described my own experience and helped me practice again and again to let me aware of the past tense. It was really helpful and thanks to have such a teacher to focus on everything that can improve my skills.
