About Me

I specialize in pronunciation, Business English, conversational English, presentations, and social confidence for intermediate and advanced students.

Caring and enthusiastic! Those are the two words that people most often use to describe me.

I am a native English speaker raised in the heartland of the United States, so I have a neutral American accent. I hold a bachelor's degree in English, a master's degree in Education focused on Adult Learning & Development, and another master's degree in Communication. I earned teaching certificates in English and Communication and have additional training in ESL and career advising. I have taught English to teenagers, university students, and working adults.

I love meeting people from all over the world! I have hosted homestays for individuals from Japan, Turkey, Vietnam, China, and Indonesia. My dining room table has been surrounded by individuals from the Ukraine, Iraq, Fiji, Singapore, and more.

As you take the next step in your English language journey, you will find me to be a cheerful guide committed to helping you reach your goals. Ready? Please book a lesson, and let's get started!
