About Me

Hi, I'm Lisa! I live in California with my cat, Bellamy and some of my favorite things to do include playing with my nieces, spending time in nature, doing art, playing PC games like Elder Scrolls Online and Minecraft, reading and listening to audio books. I love learning languages like Welsh and Ukrainian, and I love to share my love of learning languages with my students.

I've been teaching English in the classroom and online since 2006. I am friendly and engaging, and I am passionate about helping my students reach their English learning goals. I will work with you to create a personalized study plan targeted to your needs. Whether you want to improve your speaking, listening, writing, pronunciation, or prepare for an exam or job interview, I can help you accomplish it!

What I expect of my students: I will work with students who are kind and respectful as well as ready to learn.
