Hobbies
My biggest passion is travel. I speak English, French, and conversational Spanish, and have travelled across Europe, to the Middle East, and to India and Nepal. I am a social person who enjoys hiking, yoga, reading, and cooking! I am a patient teacher who has experience teaching ages 5-40. I have been teaching English for 5 years: In France, In the U.S. at universities, and at a private language school. I understand learning needs and how to teach English in affective ways according to each individual's needs. I enjoy learning about my students as I teach, as well as teaching them about American culture and language - whether it's speaking/listening skills, grammar, vocabulary, American writing styles and organization, or reading skills!
