"Hello!

I am a teacher with approximately 10 years of international teaching experience. I have taught in Russia, China, France, and most recently the U.S. I am very passionate about linguistics, foreign language, culture, and education. I am drawn to tutoring because I value the one-on-one quality instruction that comes with the tutoring experience. I am joyful to share my love of learning with my students. I understand that each student has different needs, and I seek to collaborate and work with each student on an individual basis to create lessons that work for them.

In my free time I enjoy being outside, staying active, traveling, reading, and participating in cultural activities. In addition to English as my native language, I speak French, Russian, Spanish, and a bit of Portuguese.

I hold the following diplomas and certifications for English and/or ESL : TEFL certificate (Language Link Corporation 2010), CELTA diploma (University of Cambridge 2012), Teaching License with endorsements in English Language Arts and English as a Second Language (Idaho Department of Education, valid through 2024).

I have a Bachelor of Arts in French Studies with extensive time spent living in Québec, Belgium, and France. I currently work as a volunteer French to English translator for a non-profit media organization and in the past have worked as a French interpreter and translator for my school district.

If you have any questions about my teaching style or services, please do not hesitate to reach out. I would be glad to speak with you." less...
