DO YOU WANT TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH WITH A FUN, COMMUNICATIVE METHOD? BOOK A LESSON WITH ME TODAY!
My name's Haani which means "heavenly happiness" : ) I am from the United States but live in the tropical rainforests of Costa Rica. I'm learning Spanish and know how hard it is to learn a new language!
Some of my interests include spirituality, dancing, creative writing, illustration, health and fitness, exploring perfume aisles, wholesome animal videos, Harry Potter, going to the beach, and daydreaming about how to heal the world.Me as a Teacher
I have a Linguistics degree with a specialization in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) and have a background teaching general and corporate English to adults.
I want to provide you with the BEST service possible and will customize lessons for you: vocabulary specific to your interests, grammar lessons to improve your level, and conversational practice to develop your fluency. Whether you need help writing a paper, practicing interviews, or participating in a meeting, I am here for YOU!My lessons & teaching style
I will speak English from the very first class, but don't worry! I am a very patient and kind teacher. My classes are fun and relaxed with a focus on conversation and fluency. I want to make sure that you always learn something new in class, whether it's vocabulary, a grammatical structure, idioms, and the list goes on!
***Advanced beginner levels (A2) and above are welcome! Please feel free to send me a message about your goals or any general questions. I hope to talk to you soon!Certificates
