I am passionate about traveling the world, exploring diverse cultures, and savoring local cuisines in numerous countries. Each journey enriches my understanding of different lifestyles and traditions. In addition to my love for travel, I prioritize staying fit through regular exercise, which helps me maintain a healthy lifestyle. Whether hiking through scenic landscapes or participating in fitness classes, I believe staying active enhances my overall well-being.

About Me

I was born and raised in San Francisco and have always had an athletic spirit. After attending Heald College, I began my career at Bank of America’s World Headquarters, where I gained valuable experience. Following that, I ventured to the Gulf, where I worked for 12 years, enriching my professional and cultural perspectives before the pandemic. My diverse experiences have shaped my dynamic outlook on life, blending my love for fitness with a global career journey.

Experience

As a San Francisco Bay Area native, I have over 15 years of diverse teaching experience, including two years in grades 5 and 6 in the United States. My journey continued with 12 years in Saudi Arabia, where I taught students from various cultural backgrounds, enhancing their English language skills. Additionally, I spent a year teaching in Guangzhou, China, further broadening my international experience. I hold a TESOL certification from London.

Approach

The communicative method emphasizes interaction as the primary means of language learning. Teachers can create dynamic, personalized teaching plans that cater to individual learning styles by integrating technology, such as language apps and virtual classrooms. This approach fosters engaging, real-life communication, enhancing fluency and comprehension. Collaborative tools and online resources also support varied activities, making learning more effective and accessible.
