"In my 15+ years of teaching English as a Second Language (ESL), I have taught in language schools in San Francisco, Barcelona and rural Japan, working with students of all ages and backgrounds. In the past ten years, my focus has mainly been Business English and I have had the pleasure of teaching professionals from every profession imaginable. I also still LOVE working with students who are interested in speaking English as a hobby.

My classes are always adapted to the student's needs. I strive to help you build the language skills you need, whether it's for specific goals such as interviews and presentations, pass an exam, or simply to increase your level of speaking fluency. Using focused exercises and grammar corrections, I can help you to fine tune your communication, develop structure, and activate your vocabulary.

As somebody who has been and continues to be a foreign language learner, I understand the challenges students face in reaching fluency. Self-motivation and a steady determination are key. I aim for engaging, topical, and relevant lessons infused with humor so that you are inspired to further your learning.

TEFL certified in Barcelona, Spain in 2002. I also have a degree in Social Science from Boise State University." less...
