About Me
italki teacher since May 7, 2020
I am a high school English teacher. I was born in Canada, but have always had a keen interest in exploring the world. I studied in both Germany and France as an exchange student. After university, I lived and worked in the Netherlands for four years. This allowed me to travel throughout much of Europe. I then moved to Asia, where I fell in love with Asian cuisine. I have travelled all over Asia, sampling the food. I currently live near the beach in Japan and enjoy surfing and playing with my dogs in my free time. I have always been interested in the diversity of language and culture and lately have been studying Korean.

My lessons & teaching style
The more you speak the more fluent you will become.
80% of the time you should be speaking 20% of the time I should be correcting, explaining and encouraging. The harder you work before the class the more we can accomplish in the class.
Most students greatest obstacle is a lack of confidence. We can overcome this together.
As your teacher, I can help you with business and class presentations, essay and report writing, interpreting charts and graphs, presenting ideas with clarity, logical ordering of information and speaking in a concise, but elegant manner.
