About Me

Hello. My name is Barika! I am excited to be your English Teacher!

I am a native English speaker, born and raised in the United States. I have over 10 years of teaching and educational program development experience in both the classroom and online. I am finishing my TESOL teaching certificate. I have students from all over the world.

I teach children & adults from beginner to advance. My teaching style is the communicative approach which means we focus on speaking.

My lessons include: English videos, games, English songs, skits, and much more. We focus on vocabulary building, grammar, listening and speaking.

Students find my classes are fun, interactive and I make learning English easy.

Lessons you can book with me:
* General English Language Lessons (Beginner-Advance for Children and Adults)
* Business English (I have a business background in media and technology)
* IELTS and TOEFL Exam Prep
* Accent Reduction (Trained in General American Speech)
* Homework Tutoring in English

For fun, I am learning Japanese. I also write novels, play instruments and go to a lot of artsy things in New York City.

Let's Learn English! You can do it!
