Fun Facts

I have been to the same number of countries as my age; my goal is to learn 5 languages fluently (I am about halfway there with fluency in English, Spanish, and intermediate Tagalog); I ran the Boston Marathon in 2014; and my favorite food is coffee 😂

About Me

I am an adventurous soul with lots of interests. I love to travel, learn new languages, read, write, hike, bike, run, explore new places, and immerse myself in new cultures. I am a very adventurous person--I love to inspire others to take on life and live it fully! I have experience teaching in many different countries and cu

Experience

I have 3+ years teaching English experience in Chile, the Dominican Republic, the United States, South Korea, and the Philippines. I have 4+ years of tutoring experience of many subjects, to students of various nationalities, levels, backgrounds, cultures, and native languages. Subjects include philosophy, theology/world religions, writing and college-level ESL, creative writing, speech, debate, geography, environmental ethics, and history.

Approach

I was homeschooled while traveling around the country growing up. My approach to learning is thus about discovery. I help the student find their own passions, strengths, wisdom, skills, and limits. This way, they learn not just facts/information, but about who they are. Above all, I encourage a sense of curiosity so that the students are not just learning to get a right answer but are discovering about how they themselves learn and relate to the world around them, inside and out of class.
