About me
I’m a native English speaker with a genuine love for reading and continued learning, and that curiosity naturally shapes the way I teach and connect with others. Growing up in Germany gave me early, firsthand experience of living between cultures, languages, and ways of thinking. It taught me to listen carefully, communicate clearly, and approach differences with openness rather than assumptions. Being immersed in a multicultural environment from a young age made me comfortable navigating diverse classrooms and sensitive to the challenges language learners face. As a result, I interact with people from different cultures with respect, empathy, and adaptability, always seeing cultural diversity as a strength that enriches both learning and human connection.
Resume
I’m a TEFL teacher with a dynamic style that balances energy and intention—I like my classroom to feel alive, but always purposeful. I’m deeply culturally sensitive, and I make it a point to honor my students’ backgrounds, perspectives, and identities while creating an inclusive space where everyone feels respected. At the same time, I believe learning should be fun, so I use humor, games, and real-life connections to keep lessons engaging and memorable. When it’s time to focus, though, I can be serious and structured, setting clear expectations and pushing students to reach their potential. That mix of warmth, adaptability, and rigor is what defines me as a teacher.
Education
Bachelor of Business Administration, Decker College
Work Experience
I’ve also spent 15 years as a software trainer, and that experience has deeply enhanced my TEFL teaching. Training professionals taught me how to break down complex ideas into clear, manageable steps and adapt quickly to different learning styles, goals, and pacing needs. I’m comfortable designing structured lessons, using data and feedback to adjust my approach, and integrating technology naturally into the classroom. It’s made me more precise, more patient, and more results-focused as a TEFL teacher, while still keeping lessons engaging and practical. Ultimately, my background in software training helps me prepare students not just to use English, but to use it confidently and effectively in real-world contexts.
