I teach: English

My lessons focus on mastering verbs in English, including past tense verbs and past participles. I help students understand pronunciation rules, spelling changes, and common mistakes to improve both writing and speaking skills. Through interactive exercises and practical examples, my lessons make learning past tense forms easy and enjoyable!

I use a practical, interactive approach with personalized lessons tailored to each student. Through real-life examples, exercises, and conversation practice, I create a supportive environment where students feel confident learning from mistakes and improving at their own pace. My goal is to make learning enjoyable and effective.

I studied English at Brigham Young University (BYU) in the United States, where I gained a strong foundation in language and literature. Additionally, I completed a TESOL certification, equipping me with specialized skills to teach English as a second language. This combination of academic background and practical training allows me to effectively teach and support students in their language learning journey.
