About me
A learner who speaks more than one language often needs an English teacher who understands how different languages shape thinking, pronunciation, grammar, and confidence. My lessons help students improve English through speaking practice, listening, vocabulary building, grammar support, reading comprehension, and writing correction.
I began teaching English in 2008 in Taipei, Taiwan, and have many years of experience teaching adults and international students. I have also lived and worked in several places, including France, Germany, Taiwan, and Brazil. Because I study multiple languages myself, I understand both the difficulty and the excitement of learning a new language.
In class, I support American English, accent reduction, grammar development, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking practice, vocabulary development, and writing correction. My lessons are suitable for beginner, upper beginner, intermediate, upper intermediate, advanced, and upper advanced learners.
For older students, I can also help with academic English, business English, colloquial English, interview preparation, and IELTS. My goal is to make English learning clear, practical, and confidence-building, so students can express ideas more naturally and continue improving step by step.
