What I'm looking for
I am a confident and compassionate English tutor with a strong command of spoken and written English.

With a background in digital content creation, transcription, and online instruction, I excel at connecting with students virtually and meeting their unique learning needs.
As a freelance English-speaking tutor, I conduct personalized sessions that cater to students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds. I focus on improving fluency, confidence, and pronunciation through engaging methods such as role-plays and real-world conversations. My experience as a YouTube creator has further honed my ability to simplify complex topics, making learning accessible and enjoyable for beginners.
In addition to tutoring, I also deliver beginner-friendly data analysis lessons, ensuring that technical concepts are explained in clear, conversational English. My commitment to student success drives me to continuously improve my teaching style based on feedback, fostering a motivating environment for all learners.
