Jae

Hi! I'm Jae, a former Political Advocate from the United States, who branched out from Political Science to education. I have one cat, love cooking, and just moved to Madrid in September 2026. I'm curious about the world around me and strive to foster this curiosity in my own classroom.

While in the United States, I was a Civic Advocate for youths and underprivileged groups. What does this mean? In short: I argued with politicians and demanded that changes be made to made to my country to ensure that everyone is taken care of. It was through doing this, and teaching others how to act confident while wielding the English language, that I discovered my love for debate and public speaking coaching.

Due to my experiences, my classes have a focus on conversational and argumentative skills, even when working on reading.

My classes may be a good fit for you if you:
-Can understand written and spoken English, but can't speak or write it yourself
-Have strong opinions that you can articulate in your native language, but not in English
-Stutter and pause when speaking English
--Find it difficult to have conversations or handle disagreements in English
-Feel like your English placement scores don't match your speaking abilities

I'm TEFL-certified and have experience teaching students with Autism and ADHD. I'm patient, encouraging, and hope to foster a positive learning environment. One of my strongest beliefs is that there is no such thing as a "stupid" question. I encourage mistakes and love watching as my students grow from them.

If you would like to get to know me better, I provide free 30-minute trial lessons so you can get a feel for who I am and my teaching style.

Hope to see you in class :)
