Hi! I'm a university student from New York, currently pursuing a degree in Information Technology and Management at the University at Buffalo. As a native English speaker, I'm excited to help students from around the world develop their English language skills!

I specialize in helping children and teenagers improve their conversational English, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, and grammar. My lessons are best suited for students who already have a basic understanding of English and are looking to strengthen their existing skills.

**My Teaching Approach**

I believe every student learns differently, which is why I tailor my lessons to each student's individual needs, interests, and learning goals. I begin by getting to know the student, assessing their current English abilities, and identifying areas where they would like to improve.

My lessons combine structured learning with interactive activities to keep students engaged. Depending on the student's needs, lessons may include everyday conversations, pronunciation exercises, vocabulary building, reading comprehension, grammar practice, and writing activities. I also offer support with school English assignments and help students develop stronger communication skills.

I strive to create a welcoming, patient, and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and practicing their English without fear of judgment.

My goal is not only to help students improve their English but also to build their confidence so they can communicate naturally and independently in everyday situations and academic settings!
