Hello! I'm Bethany and I am excited to help you learn a new language. I am American I currently live in North Carolina, USA. I love to travel and live in new places. I have also lived in San Diego, California (near Disney Land!), Atlanta, Georgia (very multi-cultural city), and in Japan for 4 years.
My hobbies are traveling, watching Netflix, and watercolor painting. I love to learn about different cultures and history, especially Japanese history. (My favorite Japanese period is the Jomon-jidai!)
Me as a Teacher
It is easier to learn a new language if you are interested in the topic. I can talk about many subjects like culture, history, video games, American slang, movies and more!
Before teaching English I worked at many different companies so I can help you with Business English too.
My lessons are very flexible. If there is something specific you want to work on, let me know.
I can speak some Japanese, so if your first language is Japanese I will try to use a little Japanese in class, for example "We will meet __ the party." Should you use "in" or "at"? Hint:「に」or「で」?
My lessons & teaching style
I have 3 types of lessons:
• Beginners - fun lessons with games and reading.
• Conversation with Corrections - talk about what you like.
• News & TED Talks - reading and listening practice before class, speaking and conversation practice during class

My son is always delighted to meet Bethany online. She is calm and comprehensive. The lesson is always well balanced between what he loves speaking about and what is important to understand and practice in English.

Imagine not feeling like studying English, but then you book a lesson with Bethany, and suddenly, you’re fired up and ready to go. That’s just the vibe her lessons have!

Bethany is a really amazing and professional teacher. Each class I feel confident expressing my thoughts. The main advantage of the lessons for me is practice new words and grammar immediately on my own examples. I feel huge progress and satisfaction after classes.

Great lesson! We went through an interesting news article session and learned new pop culture words and mainstream subjects. Thank you!
