"Hello! My name is Z, and I’m excited to support you on your journey to becoming a confident English speaker. I have over 4 years of experience as an ESL (English as a Second Language) tutor and have worked with students from Japan, Mexico, Brazil, and beyond. I also homeschool my children, which has given me the ability to adapt to different learning styles and create a patient, encouraging environment. I hold an Associate of Applied Science (AAS) degree in Early Childhood Education and use that foundation to provide lessons that are clear, supportive, and personalized.

My tutoring style is focused on real-life conversation and fluency, especially for beginners or students who feel nervous about speaking English. I specialize in accent reduction, helping students pronounce words more naturally and speak with confidence. During our sessions, we’ll talk about things that matter to you — your day, your work, your interests — all while building vocabulary, correcting grammar, and improving pronunciation. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and understood, and I’ll be with you every step of the way as your supportive English tutor." less...
