About Me

I'm Petra and work with INTERMEDIATE TO ADVANCED ADULTS to build confidence so that they can feel great in any situation whether it's travel or work.
I am from Oregon in the United States, the beautiful Pacific Northwest! My favorite things are running, hiking in the mountains and spending time with my friends and family. I've been an avid runner most of my life and also practice yoga daily. Traveling and experiencing new places, cultures and having new adventures are what life is about!Me as a Teacher
Learn CONVERSATION, new VOCABULARY (slang and phrasal verbs), and GRAMMAR with confidence!
As an educator, I take pleasure in conversing with my students and creating an environment in which they feel confident to EXPRESS THEMSELVES FREELY.
By starting with topics that pique their interest, I can identify areas where they need assistance with their conversational abilities and help them improve.
If students require more focused attention on grammar or pronunciation, I have a specific lessons for that. This is a more structured lesson-based class where I incorporate enjoyable news articles, grammar exercises, vocabulary building, and reading comprehension activities into our lessons.My lessons & teaching style
When it comes to conversing with my students, I'm a CASUAL and ENERGETIC teacher but can also create a more structured class if that's your preference.
⭐️ You'll have the opportunity to learn about cultural nuances and the idiomatic expressions that are used in everyday conversation.
⭐️ I devote a SIGNIFICANT amount of time looking for resources that work SPECIFICALLY for your needs.
⭐️ I enjoy sharing TIPS and TRICKS and corrections on how you can sound more like a NATIVE English speaker
It's important to me that my students feel SELF CONFIDENT in real-life conversations and situations, especially if they plan on traveling or looking for jobs in other English-speaking countries.My teaching material

Another great lesson with Petra! We've worked on some idioms and picked up a few good ones. Petra is very friendly and gives us a valuable native speaker perspective that we're looking for.
