🇺🇸Hello!! 👉🏻I'm an American, NATIVE ENGLISH speaking international English teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience who is exceedingly passionate about improving your (or your child's) English TODAY!!! 💯 I was born in the beautiful mountain state of Montana, but spent my formative and scholastic years on the West coast. I'm very social, which is how I relate to my students. While in university, I relished teaching children for my early childhood education major. I also taught children in a US private school. Three years ago I privately tutored business English to refugees in Sweden, and currently I'm teaching local children and adults basic English in Morocco. I enjoy writing short stories, and I hope to be a published author soon. My approach to development of English fluency includes: ⭐ Establishing new vocabulary words, phrases, slang and acronyms into your "bank" of go-to words used in conversation ⭐ Teaching American pronunciation with a "Pronunciation Guide" that is based on your current ability and accent. You'll find this method no where else, GUARANTEED!! 💯 ⭐ Careful, experienced accent modification (West-coast [California, Oregon] American English dialect.) ⭐ Memorable grammar correction and instruction ⭐ Fun-filled, positive lessons that are centered around your interests and subjects of study I teach all ages and ability levels.
