I am a master student in quantitative economics and all of my courses are given in English. My goal is to help the student in solving the exercises and to understand the theory but above all to give an effective working method to make him independent in the pursuit of his studies.

Tired of stiff, boring textbook English? You are in the right place. Forget robotic English. My goal is simple: helping global professionals, leaders, and families find a real voice to speak with clarity and confidence. Originally from the U.S. with over 15 years of business experience and 16 years of hands-on expertise in the Philippines, my background is rooted in cross-cultural operations. This includes nearly a decade running an English Language Program for a leading Japanese digital marketing and ad-tech firm, as well as serving as Retail Floor Manager for Cebu Home & Builders Centre. These real-world challenges across diverse industries have shaped my deep understanding of actual communication barriers. Why My Approach Is Different Drawing from 17 years of life in the Philippines while raising a mixed Filipino-American family (including two sons on the autism spectrum), life has taught me more about clear communication and patience than any degree ever could. While I navigate the fast-paced city life, I’m a nature-lover at heart — trading urban noise for swimming and camping with my family whenever possible. When I'm not coaching, I design LEGO MOCs (AFOL), or listen to classical music and traditional Asian string instruments like the Erhu and Koto.

In this class, we practice conversational English by diving into the stories we love. Instead of dry grammar drilling, our focus is entirely on natural discussion centered on books, writing, and cinema. We will chat about character psychology, narrative themes, and storylines. We can even read and analyze short book excerpts or script pieces together, depending on what makes your heart beat faster. As a writer, I'm especially interested in how language creates emotion, reveals personality, and brings stories to life. Together, we'll explore not only what characters say, but why they say it that way, and how you can use those same natural expressions to sound more confident and natural in your own English. Don't worry—you don't need to be a literary critic to enjoy these lessons. We use stories as a starting point for conversation, not as an excuse to overanalyze every page or scene. Whether you enjoy discussing your favorite novel, breaking down an unforgettable movie scene, or simply chatting about fictional worlds, the goal is to create a relaxed environment where English feels alive and enjoyable. It's all about enjoying the language instead of seeing it as something intimidating. Yes, I will correct your mistakes, but mistakes are one of the most valuable parts of learning. They show us what to improve and help build lasting confidence. My goal is for every lesson to feel engaging, encouraging, and something you genuinely look forward to. This is an open, friendly space for anyone who wants to build real-world speaking confidence, expand their vocabulary, and share their enthusiasm for books and movies. Every lesson is tailored to your interests, goals, and pace, because I believe we learn best when we're genuinely interested in what we're talking about. MULTILINGUAL LISTENING SUPPORT: To make your lessons completely stress-free, you are welcome to use your native language whenever you get stuck. I have a strong passive understanding (listening and reading) of several languages, which means I can easily understand you if you speak or write in: •English (Fluent - MA Degree) •Serbian (Native) •Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese & German (Listening & Reading comprehension) Note: While I mostly understand these languages when you use them, our actual conversation and explanations will be conducted in English or Serbian. TECHNICAL DETAILS FOR ONLINE LESSONS: I conduct my lessons via Google Meet (the easiest option—no installation required, you just click the link I send you) or Microsoft Teams, depending on your preference. During our sessions, we will actively use screen sharing, digital learning materials, and interactive notes to ensure your learning experience is highly effective and engaging.
