About me

I also lived in Lima, Peru for nearly 5 years and have over 4 years of experience in Peru teaching various age groups and learning levels. I became fluent in Spanish from my time living there. I have over 5 years total experience teaching ESL/EFL. I have taught students online from all over the world.

Teaching Approach

I put great focus on student correction whether it be grammar, vocabulary or an unclear pronunciation. If you're looking for conversation skills, I have many tricks and techniques that can get you speaking fluently quicker.

I like to teach "real" English and not "book" English. It's real English that you will hear in conversations in real life, by nearly everyone, including professionals, and even the President of the United States. It's also real English that you hear in songs and on TV shows. I also have many pronunciation tips that won't be found in any book that can help you sound more natural, but more importantly will help your listening improve dramatically. So whether you're a beginner or more advanced, I can definitely help you out!

Also if you are Spanish or a similar language, I have tremendous experience in all the common errors of Latino learners.
