About
I have been an ESL teacher since 2011. Before that I had many years business experience. Travel is my passion and I really enjoy meeting people from other cultures. I am in the New York City area so there is constant interaction with immigrants. I have taught both in person and online.

Experience
I have been an ESL teacher since 2011 in the New York City area. I have taught grammar, pronunciation, Business English, TOEFL and IELTS.
Teaching Approach
My approach is making the student feel comfortable and enjoy their time with me. In my experience, 90% of the students are suffering from lack of confidence. I am very patient and am always focusing on the students strengths and helping them with their weaknesses.
