ESL Tutoring / Language Coaching

I have over 15 years of experience in teaching, am a TEFL-certified English as a second language (ESL) tutor and have been learning French as a second language since 2006. I know what it takes to be a good teacher and learner of a second language.

Whether you’re a young learner studying English for the first time, a business person wanting to improve your writing skills, or anyone in between: I would love to help you learn and build confidence on your own journey!

Learning a new language but not sure where to start?

Expertise:

ESL Tutoring (English as a second language)

  • Fundamentals: Grammar, sentence structure, vocabulary and more

  • Lesson planning: I’ve taught ESL in Thailand to a group of young learners and have also worked in 1:1 sessions with adults. I tailor lesson plans to every learner, level and setting.

  • Confidence: I can help you build your confidence in writing and speaking

  • Ages: I have tutoring experience with all age groups and English levels

Coaching learners of a new language

  • Motivation: If you are learning a new language, or know a second language but haven’t used it in a while, I can help you develop strategies to keep going

  • Planning and accountability: I help others plan their schedules to make learning another language fun and exciting along the way
