Before that, I worked at the Providence Children's Museum, where I developed my playful, engaging teaching style.

I believe that language learning is most effective when students feel comfortable, curious, and empowered—which is why I focus on interactive, personalized lessons that reflect your interests and goals.

In my personal life, I’m a writer and musician, and I love incorporating storytelling, music, and creativity into lessons. Whether you’re preparing for an exam, improving your confidence, or just looking for a fun, immersive way to learn, I’d love to help you succeed!

Education

I received my bachelor's degree in English from the University of Rhode Island in 2017 and completed my 120-hours TEFL cer­ti­fi­ca­tion - including supplementary certifications - two years later.

Experience / Qualifications

With a Bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Rhode Island and over eight years of teaching experience, I have developed a deep understanding of language and communication. My career began at the Providence Children’s Museum (2017–2020), where I designed and led play-based, child-directed programs for preschool and school-aged children. These experiences helped me build an ability to create dynamic, engaging learning environments that empower students to explore, learn, and grow through creative play. This foundation enables me to teach students of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds with an adaptable approach that meets each learner’s needs.

As a passionate traveler, I’ve had the privilege of connecting with people from diverse cultural backgrounds around the world. This has enriched my teaching practice, deepened my cultural sensitivity, and enhanced my ability to understand and support learners from a variety of perspectives.

Teaching Standardized Examinations (TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC)

In addition to my teaching experience, I have advanced knowledge of Dutch and basic proficiency in German, which helps me connect with learners from diverse linguistic backgrounds.
