With volunteer teaching experience, I create a supportive environment. I balance comfort with challenge to help students speak Eng

My greatest skill is clear, natural communication. Because I have an international background, I know how to simplify English for learners without it sounding robotic. My teaching experience began with community service. I spent years mentoring elementary students in literacy and volunteering in rural areas to teach English to children with limited resources. These experiences taught me how to be patient, creative, and adaptable when students struggle. My teaching style is 'comfortable but focused.' I know speaking a new language can be scary, so I start with casual conversation to build trust. Once the student feels safe, I introduce challenges. I correct mistakes gently to ensure they improve, focusing entirely on giving them the confidence to speak in the real world.
