About the lesson

Whether you are trying to learn English as a Second Language, sound more like a native English speaker (accent reduction), increase your vocabulary, work on English for business or travel purposes, or just want somebody to practice speaking and listening skills with, I am here to help.

My teaching philosophy is to make the learning experience efficient, enjoyable, and not intimidating. This combined with challenging students with attainable goals further increases their confidence and has proven to be extremely successful. Building a rapport with my students is incredibly important to their learning and I am proud of the fact that I have done so throughout my teaching career. Additionally, being a recent foreign language learner myself has given me first-hand knowledge of the language learning process, the obstacles to overcome through hard work, and the amazing feelings of reward when having done so.

I am a teacher who truly enjoys to see my students progress and succeed.
