Hobbies
Nice to meet you! Do you want to speak casual, practical English that will help you feel comfortable and confident in carrying on with your everyday conversations? Then you found the right tutor! My focus is on adults who want practical gains in their conversational English ability. My lessons are informal and not geared toward any specific academic or testing track, but for those who are primarily concerned with improving their speaking ability through a regular, casual English conversation partner. I have over 5 years of experience in the field of intercultural communication, working with a national refugee resettlement and social services agency. Some of my roles at this agency have included TESL, financial literacy for non-native English speakers, and financial counseling. While I am more than happy to assist you with your studying needs for exams like the TOEFL, TOEIC, or IELTS, keep in mind that my service focuses on practical, conversational English that is intended to benefit your long-term, practical needs to be conversant in the language. As we all know, language is not a science that you can learn by memorizing formulas, but more like an art or craft that takes practice and a gradual growth in confidence, and eventually, skill. Let's grow that skill together!
