Who am I?

Several years ago while touring, I fell in love with Europe and the people and dreamed about coming back.  This all came to be reality when in October of 2009, I began teaching English at a private language school in Poland.

During the first few summers of my English teaching career, I worked at summer camps in the UK and the US. I not only taught, but also cared for the kids/teens, served as an activities leader, helped put on Talent shows, taught dances, singing, ran sound/lights, DJ’d for discos, and and did a variety of task to ensure the children’s/teenager’s welfare.

Since then, I fell in love, settled in Poland, and opened my own tutoring firm.

Previously, in my church and community, I specialized in working with youth and children. I am currently more focused on individual online lessons with youth/adults; lessons are curtailed to each student’s level, interests, and needs.

I am experienced and enjoy working with people of all ages. I am considered to be highly motivated, enthusiastic, outgoing, friendly, self-disciplined, and dedicated to providing exceptional service, to the best of my ability  I have experience in teaching all ages and levels in English, and have done a variety of proofreading work for both business and educational purposes.  I love being able to help my students gain confidence in their language skills.   I am originally from the incredible state of Oregon, in the USA, where I worked in the Dental Field, was a horse wrangler, a ranch caretaker, and did a variety of other jobs. Over the last few years, I have also had the privilege of performing the vocals and voice work for kids’ song videos.

I enjoy cooking, hosting family and friends, playing board games, and hiking whenever possible.  Sharing recipes and cooking skills with my students is another one of my ventures.
