About Me
🌟Speak English with fluency & confidence🌟
Warm, human-to-human interaction allows you to make deep connections and can open the door to rich opportunities in work and friendship.
Speaking comfortably and naturally in English comes from having real, spontaneous conversations with real people.
I love having great conversations. In our sessions, we might talk about your work and your hobbies, compare our thoughts about events happening in the world, tell travel stories, or swap our life philosophies.
The topics we discuss are up to you. My role is to let you know the phrases a native English speaker would use, to explain new words and expressions, to offer feedback on pronunciation, suggest new vocabulary, and to keep encouraging you to go further while enjoying the learning process.
I mainly work with B1-C1 (intermediate to advanced) English speakers who have a good foundation in the language but want to sound natural and feel comfortable when talking with real people.
Our lessons are tailored to your specific needs, so let’s discuss the details in a trial lesson.
I look forward to speaking with you!

Résumé
Education
2016 - 2017
120-hour TESOL Certification
School of TESL/Seattle Pacific University - Seattle, WA
This was a tough course that included onsite and online classes. I also did nearly 20 hours of teaching practice in an adult ESL community college course -- this gave me huge respect and admiration for non-English speakers who are learning the language.
1980 - 1984
BA in English
University of Virginia - Charlottesville, VA
UVa's English Department was ranked #2 in the US while I was there. I received a great education with some of the best teachers in the country. They gave me a love of language and learning that I try to pass along to my students.
