***I TEACH ONLY ON MS TEAMS and GOOGLE MEET***
Hi! Thanks for checking out my profile! Here's a quick personal introduction: my favorite topics to discuss include food, dance, music, fine arts, fashion, technology, philosophy, literature, and everyday musings. My hobbies include cooking, dancing, drawing, painting, designing, and making fun things. My life and travels have taken me to many places far and wide, with some very interesting adventures. I'd love to share more during our classes, and hear about your adventures!Me as a Teacher
**I TEACH ONLY ON GOOGLE MEET and TEAMS**
I have been teaching ESL for a total of 35 years, and have been a certified ESL teacher for 29 years. My passion for teaching comes from my own love of learning languages. I currently speak five languages, and am looking forward to learning more! My firsthand understanding of the challenges one faces when learning a new language gives me a rare insight into how to address students' needs. One of my specialties is bringing students out of their shells, helping them overcome shyness or fear around making mistakes. Seeing my students smile and have fun while learning is my greatest source of joy when teaching. Having fun truly is the best way to learn!My lessons & teaching style

Each lesson is customized, because students’ needs and goals can change over time. What I expect from students is their commitment to improve their English, and to keep an open mind and heart. I only use total immersion in my lessons. Trust me, it really works! I also use visual aids and links to helpful reference materials when needed.My teaching material

Honestly, I joined the lesson motivated and eager to learn, but I quickly felt uncomfortable due to the teaching style. I ended the session early, disappointed. I hope the platform reviews instructor quality and future learners read reviews carefully

I’m very thankful to have met such a kind and helpful teacher. I was unsure about how to learn the language, but they clearly showed me the right direction. They helped me understand what I need now and how to reach my goals step by step. Thanks to their support, I feel more confident and motivated in my language learning journey.
