Hello, my name is Storm. I am from the United States, and English is my native language. I have always enjoyed teaching and meeting new people. Language learning can be fun, and I am here to prove it!
I started teaching English in 2017 after I acquired my TEFL certification. I can help you with conversational skills (small talk is vital in the English-speaking world), listening, pronunciation, grammar, business, writing, and reading. Most importantly, I can also help you with IELTS and TOEFL.
Me as a Teacher
I am patient and understanding. Learning a new language or even perfecting a language can be challenging. I want to help you establish a reasonable goal and give you the self-confidence and skills to achieve this goal. Even if you are fluent in English, it is important to keep up with your skills by using it. I know this from personal experience with the languages I am learning.
My lessons are designed to prepare you for various language challenges, from school and job interviews to everyday conversations and IELTS. I use a variety of resources to cater to your learning style and make the lessons more engaging.
I hope to see you soon!
* I only teach adults.
My lessons & teaching style
Our lessons will be unique to you. Our first class will be figuring out what you know, your goal, and how best to approach this goal. I enjoy helping students expand their vocabulary. I also help you think in English; this will help you use those new words you are learning. I do a series of grammar and vocabulary learning lessons, and then we review them in conversation. I set up the conversation so you can use the new grammar we learned. I want you to feel comfortable using English.

Incredibly grateful for Storm's class. Feeling incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with such an amazing teacher this year. The fun and laughter we've shared have made every class a highlight. Whether it's the engaging discussions, creative activities, or the hilarious moments, each session is a joy. My face practically turns into a permanent smile by the end of each class! 🌟🤣

Storm is a star — always passionate about teaching and the friendliest teacher ever. She is well-prepared for class, open-minded, and interested in a wide variety of topics. Hats off to her remarkable ability to combine thoughtful didactics with genuine joy and creativity, making each lesson both exciting and meaningful. I particularly appreciated that she even made a PowerPoint presentation just for me today because she knew I was interested in Texas. She truly motivates me to learn more English, more about America, and helps me achieve my goals.
