Learn with an experienced adult ESL/EAL instructor.
I support adult English learners with practical, goal-focused lessons. My teaching background includes LINC Home Study, workplace and employment English, online lesson design, and one-on-one learner support. Lessons are friendly, organized, and adapted to your level, goals, and schedule.
A little about me
I grew up in Saskatchewan and began my teaching career in public schools in Calgary. I later taught English at a university in South Korea, and I have spent many years teaching adult English learners online in Canada.
When I’m not teaching, I enjoy travelling, running, hiking, and relaxing with a good movie.

My teaching approach
You will not get a generic worksheet and a rushed conversation. Lessons are planned around your goals, and practice is adjusted as you improve.
- Clear goals: We choose one or two practical goals for each lesson.
- Shared notes: I can use Google Docs so you can review corrections, examples, and homework.
- Personalized practice: I use AI-assisted tools carefully to adapt examples, homework, and review tasks to your level.
- Supportive feedback: You get clear corrections without feeling embarrassed or overwhelmed.
- Real communication: Practice focuses on English you can actually use outside the lesson.
