Tutor Information

About

I'm a dedicated English Language Teacher with over 20 years of experience across the US, Korea, and Indonesia. My educational background includes a Masters in Educational Leadership and CELTA certification, equipping me with both theoretical knowledge and practical teaching skills. I specialize in IBDP Language and Literature, Extended Essay (EE), Theory of Knowledge (TOK), Cambridge IGCSE, and university entrance exams like IELTS and ACT. My expertise extends to guiding students through university applications, business English, and public speaking. Throughout my career, I've taught in various contexts, including classroom settings, one-on-one tutoring, and online platforms. My students have primarily been high school age and above, including adult professionals. I tailor my teaching methods to each student's needs, combining rigorous academic preparation with a supportive approach. This personalized style, developed through years of diverse teaching experiences, helps students not only improve their English skills but also build confidence in their abilities. Living and teaching abroad has given me a genuine appreciation for different learning styles and cultural perspectives. I'm excited to work with you, whether you're preparing for exams, applying to universities, or seeking to enhance your professional English skills. My goal is to support you in reaching your language and educational objectives, making your learning journey both effective and enjoyable.
