About me
A student’s English can grow through more than standard exercises. With the right mix of conversation, reading, writing, arts, and humanities, learners can build language skills while also developing stronger ideas and more confident expression.
My background includes English, French, literature, humanities, and the arts. I have taught in a wide range of settings, including online English teaching, university-level work, writing and language support, and private lessons. My profile also highlights experience supporting students with professional English, academic communication, business topics, conversation, writing, and test preparation.
For children and teenagers, I can help with American English, accent reduction, grammar development, listening comprehension, phonetics, reading comprehension, speaking practice, vocabulary development, and writing correction. My lessons are best suited for upper beginner, upper intermediate, advanced, and upper advanced learners.
For older students, I can also support academic English, business English, colloquial English, interview preparation, and SAT preparation. My goal is to help learners think more clearly, express themselves more naturally, and use English with greater confidence in school, creative work, and real communication.
