I have 10 years of experience teaching English online to children and adults of all ages, from 3 to 90. I specialize in working with children with learning differences such as ADHD and dyslexia, using engaging, individualized lessons that build confidence and make learning fun. I hold a Bachelor’s in Language Education and TEFL/TESOL certifications, combining formal training with practical classroom experience.

I moved from a small town in Eastern Canada to Toronto 10 years ago to experience new opportunities and environments. When I'm not teaching I enjoy being outside with friends, reading a good book and traveling when I can.
