My goal is not only to help students gain knowledge, but to support them in using grammar and vocabulary to talk about themselves. I always try to tailor lesson content, materials, and practice activities to match each student’s interests and learning style.

Favorite conversation topics
Travel: I love discovering new places, experiencing different cultures, feeling the history of a place, and seeing breathtaking landscapes. I'd love to hear your travel stories and recommendations—or places you dream of visiting someday.
Food & Cooking: I’m a foodie through and through! I love talking about food—eating, cooking, or trying something new.
Parenting & Education: I have a high school–aged son, so parenting and education are big topics in my life.
Social Issues & Inequality: I’m deeply concerned about social discrimination and inequality. While each of us may only be able to do a little, I believe it’s important to keep talking about these topics and staying aware.
Current Events: I follow the news every day—almost like a hobby! I’m especially interested in understanding not just the facts, but the background and causes behind what’s happening in the world.
