TESOL CERTIFIED! I am currently a senior at the Werklund School of Education, University of Calgary, with an expected graduation date in 2024. During this past summer, I successfully completed the TESOL certificate program, specializing in adolescent English Language Learners (ELL) teaching. My journey in education began during high school when I started tutoring, and I've continued to expand my teaching skills as a pre-service teacher, gaining valuable experience through a month-long, in-person teaching practicum with a class of more than 25 students. Throughout my teaching and tutoring experiences, I've discovered a profound passion for instructing elementary-level English Language Arts and Mathematics. I view these two subjects as the cornerstones of a student's future academic success. Consequently, I'm enthusiastic about developing tailored strategies for each individual student facing difficulties in these areas. I am specifically interested in assisting students who are English Language Learners because I was once a newcomer to Canada as well. I can relate profoundly to the emotional and academic challenges my students are encountering. With my expertise in ELL education and experience teaching ELL, I have learned the most recent English learning theories and gained the appropriate tools to help my students regain their confidence in a brand-new education system. In my leisure time, I enjoy making handicrafts and exploring new travel destinations. I am also a fan of Japanese anime.

University Instructor:Essay, Thesis, Theory, Research, and Academic Writing Coach
I am a university instructor with over 25 years of experience teaching and researching in the humanities and social sciences. I work with undergraduate, Master’s, and PhD students on academic reading, essay writing, thesis development, and research writing. My approach focuses on helping students develop their own ideas, structure arguments clearly, and sustain writing over time. I do not write or edit assessed assignments, but instead support students in strengthening their academic thinking and writing skills. I have extensive experience working with international and multilingual students and with students at different stages of their academic journey. Sessions are calm, structured, and tailored to individual goals. A free consultation is available to determine whether coaching is a good fit.
