I'm a friendly and easy going person who really enjoys talking to people from different walks of life. This combined with a deep understanding of the English Language (formal and informal) and experience teaching it makes me a great tutor for conversation and daily use of English. I've got a great ear pronunciation and phonetics so I can easily adapt my teaching to suit your needs!

Visual aids are very useful, whether they are fun for young learners or direct for those more mature. I love learning about different cultures, so any materials that use English (a pop song, a meme, a movie) that you find in your day to day life are strongly encouraged to bring to class! Things like music tell me about you as a person and bring great energy and focus to our lesson.

I started teaching as a soccer coach through high-school but began teaching English as a second language on a trip to Ghana. For 6 months I taught in class room and tutored one-on-one to children aged 6 to 15. I've continued tutoring native and second language learners.

My favourite part about teaching that pops up elsewhere in life is giving someone the time and space they need to make mistakes. They are part of life, and so much happens when you can embrace them and approach things without fear of failure.
