Fun Facts

One passion people quickly learn about me is that I LOVE current events! Any time I have a chance you will find me reading a newspaper or watching the news on TV.

About Me

I am a professional educator with a strong background in both history and English as a Second Language. My hobbies include working out and watching documentaries.

Experience

I have taught at universities, high schools, and language institutes in six different countries. I started teaching one-to-one online during the pandemic and I enjoy it very much.

Approach

I believe in active learning and I engage my students by asking them questions as part of our dialogues. I seek to simplify complex material to make it comprehensible to students. As a tutor of the English language, my focus is on both grammar and vocabulary.
