Meet Your Coach

Meet Your Coach

M

y passion for communication, learning about new culture, and coaching ESL keep me inspired to be the best at what I do. I love connecting with others, and I love helping others learn to do the same.

Not only do I teach using my educational and work background, I teach through personal experience. As your coach, I will take an active role in helping you break through the barriers that hold you back from speaking English as a second language.

My students range from business professionals and companies, young learners and adult speakers, to university students and women’s chat groups.

Staying motivated is SO important! I will encourage solutions for you to stay consistent and creative. We can identify patterns in your speaking and comprehension abilities, and work through any issues that slow you down when speaking. I can lead you into a more focused and intuitive learning practice.

I have been teaching English as a Second Language for 14 years, and I absolutely love it!

I am American, living in a country where English is not the first language, so I face the challenges of speaking a foreign language, just like you.

For me, the taste of a different culture and communicating in another language, inspire me to always remain ‘the student’ and to never back down from a challenge.

I believe that communication is vital in our growth, and that your voice can make a difference.  Let’s get you to that next level.

I look forward to meeting you and hearing your story!
