Interests: I'll be tutoring on Cambly until Tuesday 6 August 2024. After that I won't be able to tutor, since I'll teach high school ESL in the United States - but if you'd like an expert tutor for a short time to improve certain skills, I'm happy to tutor you! I love music, meditation, hiking, reading and learning about my students' cultures, interests and dreams. Here's why I'm so passionate about teaching. Teaching English is what gets me out of bed in the morning. I teach because I want you to open doors to the places you want to go, the experiences you want to have. I teach so you'll have better opportunities to support yourself and your family. I teach to help you remove language barriers, because language is how we share our feelings, our needs, our dreams, our identities, and our purpose in life. I teach so that beginners can speak, intermediate students can improve, and advanced students can aim for fluency. That's my purpose - to bring English to life for you! It's time to live your dream - in English - so let's get started!
