Hello!

I WILL BE ON VACATION FROM SEPTEMBER 18-OCTOBER 5, 2026. PLEASE DO NOT RESERVE LESSONS ON MY CALENDAR DURING THIS PERIOD. I AM UNAVAILABLE DURING THIS TIME AND WILL NOT CHECK THIS CALENDAR. I have been privileged to be part of Cambly's tutor program since August 2023. I have taught at the graduate level of a private university in Minnesota for over 15 years and have coached many clients across industries, including marketing, communications, and public policy. My specialization is teaching Business English to professionals who communicate with other professionals in the global business environment. I love coaching and helping students become better speakers and writers in English. I am available to help you achieve your goals. I am TEFL and TESOL certified.

I am a lifelong learner and educator who enjoys exploring new concepts in business and organizational theory. I live in the Midwest and have taught graduate school for over 15 years. I enjoy photography, travel, cooking, and entertaining at home for friends. I enjoy learning about new cultures and customs.
