Hi there! If you would like to improve your English through interesting conversation, you have found the right teacher!  I have 7 years of teaching experience in both Canada and in Asia.  I am TESL CANADA cerified and most recently taught at a college to prepare International students for University here in Canada (see my resume/C.V. below).

I love to talk and can find interesting topics for conversation, but I would prefer to talk with you about your interests, so please, don't be shy, let me know what interests you and we'll discuss it!  As we talk, no doubt grammar questions will arise.  We will also cover any grammar questions you have.  One suggestion I have is for us to read a book/novel or article together and discuss it.  We can go over vocabulary and discuss the ideas in the article together.  You will learn more easily if you already have an upper elementary level of English.

I would like to offer you the first 30 mins free of charge so you can make sure that you like me and that we are a good student/teacher match.
