ESL Tutoring
About
After graduating college I traveled to China to teach English as a Second Language for about 2 years after obtaining my TEFL certification. My students ranged from from 3-18 years old. In addition, I tutored Chinese students outside of classes while I lived abroad. Back in the States I have tutored adults who want to learn English as a second language through speaking, reading, and listening.
I understand first hand what it is like to teach English learners that come from all stages of life. I tailor my teaching style to the student and their learning style. I look forward to meeting with you and discussing how we can learn together!
I enjoy working with students to accomplish their goals and building relationships along the way!

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
I like to get to know the student first, understand their interests and hobbies outside of learning English. I then like to understand what their primary goal is. Is is to improve their conversational English? Is it to write a paper or essay? Do they want to focus more on reading?
Depending on what their answer is I will recommend some materials that we can use to aid the learning process and suggest a plan moving forward.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) certification.
What types of students have you worked with?
I have worked with students from as young as 3 years old to adults.
What advice would you give a student looking to hire a teacher in your area of expertise?
Make sure to find a teacher that works well with you and your learning style. If the teacher is willing to adapt to how you learn best it will allow you to grow and be successful at your pace.
