Bio:

Want to speak English fluently and confidently without overthinking? I specialize in Business and Travel English, helping you improve vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar so you’re always ready to communicate. Speaking is the hardest part, but together, we’ll build your confidence and make learning fun. With 14 years of experience, I create lessons that inspire you to grow and succeed. Get excited for lessons that prepare you for career success and travel adventures. Ready? Let's get started!

My teaching methodology:
My lessons are designed to help you build confidence and improve your English skills in a fun, relaxed setting. I use engaging PDF worksheets and presentations as part of a curriculum that focuses on these key English skills:
  • speaking
  • vocabulary
  • grammar
  • listening
  • reading
In class, we’ll mostly focus on speaking while expanding your vocabulary and strengthening your grammar. I’ll also correct your pronunciation mistakes to help you sound more natural. My goal is to make learning enjoyable—like having coffee with a friend while reaching your language goals. Have questions? Book a trial class, and I’ll be happy to answer them!
My teaching background:

I began teaching English in 2010 when I moved to China, giving me over 14 years of teaching experience! I’ve worked with students aged 4 to 60 in diverse settings, including language schools, primary and secondary schools, universities, and private tutoring. While I’ve enjoyed working with all ages, teaching adults has always been my favorite. In 2016, I transitioned to teaching English online, combining my love for teaching with my passion for travel. For the past eight years, I’ve been a full-time digital nomad, teaching students worldwide and exploring different cultures. I especially enjoy working with students who share my love for cultural exchange and new experiences. If that sounds like you, book a class—I’d love to hear your favorite travel stories and help you achieve your English goals!

My background outside of teaching:

I’m a fun-loving, traveling teacher from the USA with a bachelor’s degree in Music Industry Studies and a minor in Business (2008). My passion for travel has taken me around the globe! I’m a huge music fan and love going to concerts—I even met my husband at a music festival. In 2013, we started a travel blog to document our gap year, quitting our jobs and traveling nonstop for 14 months. Since 2016, we’ve been full-time digital nomads, exploring the world while working remotely. I’m deeply passionate about growth and self-development, and I’m fascinated by astrology and personality types—anything that helps us better understand ourselves and others. If you love travel and cultural exchange as much as I do, let’s connect in class and share our unique experiences!
