---------------------------------------------------------------
I help introverts and immigrants express themselves more confidently in English. I have been teaching English for 6 years.
My name is Alyssa, and I am from a small town in Arkansas, USA. I am a English teacher, and a biologist. I love teaching English, studying linguistics, languages (Spanish, Russian, Portuguese), plants, herbs, animals, cooking, and traveling. I currently live in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I am an English teacher.

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching online for about 6 years.
As a teacher I am patient, kind, understanding, & encouraging. I also am a student (I speak Spanish. I understand a lot of Portuguese because of my Spanish background, & I just started learning Russian.) One of my strong points as a teacher is my ability to make students feel relaxed & comfortable, & this time this leads to increased confidence.
I especially enjoy teaching introverts and immigrants, as I have extensive personal experience in overcoming these specific challenges.
I also specialize in phrasal verbs and have a podcast dedicated entirely to them! You can search 'Understanding English Phrasal Verbs' on any podcast app to find it.
My lessons & teaching style
I will help you to feel confident and relaxed, no matter what your level is. I believe that the best way to learn any language is to speak from the beginning, and to stay motivated.
I have students at all levels, and I generally teach a bit differently depending on your level.
I believe in teaching grammar in context, learning the most useful words and phrases, and making as many mistakes as possible (so that you can learn from them! That is how it works.)

I had a great time with Alyssa.
She kindly supported me speaking English and gave me a decent answer for my question immediately.
She seems like very smart.
I like to have another lesson soon.
Thanks a lot, Alyssa!
