About me: 

I am a TEFL certified teacher from the United States who loves to see my students thrive. I enjoy hiking, reading, baking and making art. I have traveled extensively and love nothing more than connecting with people from different cultures.  

Teaching since: 
2010
Teaching experience: 

I have taught English online to adults and children from all over the world.  I also have experience in American classrooms, assisting teachers in their lessons and tutoring children in an after-school program.  My teaching experience extends beyond teaching English.  I was the manager of an organic farm in Wisconsin where I taught children and adults about healthy eating and living.  

Teaching focus: 

I allow my students to have a say in guiding the lessons.  I lead with empathy, patience and clear communication.  I like to keep my lessons relevant, whether that means discussing world issues or basing my lessons on a student's immediate English needs.  

Professional experience: 

I am currently an online English teacher, working with people from all over the world.  I have helped my students prepare for interviews, decipher idioms, improve their conversational English skills and listening comprehension.  Before teaching English, I was the Production Manager for a company that made women and children's clothing.  I independently ran the store, made the clothing and dealt with customer satisfaction.  I am an efficient employee and bring that same spirit to my teaching.
