About Me

Hello Verbling community,

My name is Kylee and I am a native English speaker from Canada. I hold a Masters degree in Human Security, Peace-building, and Intercultural Communication, along with a TEFL certification. I have over 12 years of experience as a dance instructor, along with experience teaching English in Latin America and North America. Currently, I am based in Colombia.

I believe that learning another language should be fun, useful, and personalized towards each student's needs. I encourage consistency and structure to ensure that progress is made and that the student continues to build confidence in all language skills--reading, writing, listening, and speaking. I love getting to know my students and to see their personality expressed within our lessons.

I look forward to meeting you!
