I am an educator born and raised in Toronto, Canada, with a passion for language and culture. I have over five years of experience in helping students on and offline to improve their English language skills, but even more importantly, to help them become true cultural insiders. Even with so much diversity around me in Toronto, learning a secondary language (French) had always been a challenge for me. As an adult, I moved to Thailand to teach for three years, and I was again, met with the challenge of learning a new language. This time, using Thai culture--not grammar--as a starting point for learning, I finally experienced positive learning results and lasting motivation.

Excellent lesson again! We are working on my weak points, especially trying to end with the "ed" pronunciation curse that all Brazilians have.

My Trial session with Shamara went great - She went above and beyond to understand the exact needs and goals of English improvement plan and is putting the effort to come up with a customized plan based on those learning goals.

Shamara is definitely the best English teacher I've ever had in my entire life. She is very professional, so kind, a good listener, her lessons are adapted to your needs and her explanations are clear. She is an open-minded person and we can talk about anything. It's great to have a quality teacher like her. I just bought a 10 pack of one hour lessons and I can't wait to continue improving my English with Shamara! I highly recommend her! Ps: Go to her YouTube channel. She has a few videos where she gives great tips in English. https://www.youtube.com/@shamara298830
