Teaching Philosophy

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 studentโ€™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 recommendationsโ€”or places you dream of visiting someday.

Food & Cooking: Iโ€™m a foodie through and through! I love talking about foodโ€”eating, cooking, or trying something new.

Parenting & Education: I have a high schoolโ€“aged son, so parenting and education are big topics in my life.

Social Issues & Inequality: Iโ€™m deeply concerned about social discrimination and inequality. While each of us may only be able to do a little, I believe itโ€™s important to keep talking about these topics and staying aware.

Current Events: I follow the news every dayโ€”almost like a hobby! Iโ€™m especially interested in understanding not just the facts, but the background and causes behind whatโ€™s happening in the world.
