About Me

Hi everyone!

I'm originally from Canada, and grew up there until I was 24. At that point I decided I wanted to see the world and embarked on a career in international education for the next 4 years in a few different countries. This allowed me to understand culture and language on a deeper level. Now I have a passion for sharing my own native tongue with those who are keen to learn it!

I am a certified schoolteacher in Canada, after having completed two university degrees. I also went on to do a 5 week CELTA certificate which was invaluable in giving me the nuances of English language teaching.

I speak a few other languages too!
Polish (C1)
Russian (B2)
French (B1)
Spanish (B1)

Education

Queen's University at Kingston - Bachelor of Arts (Honours) Political Science and History (Dean's list with distinction).
University of Toronto - Bachelor of Education
CELTA

Experience / Qualifications

Ontario School Teacher

3 years teaching in a public school in Central Asia
1 year at an international school in Spain
2 months at a public school in Canada
