ABOUT ME
Sometimes the gap between where you are and where you want to be is just one conversation away.
As a Canadian living in Germany since 2008, I know firsthand what it's like to navigate a second language—the frustration, the self-doubt, the feeling of being "less than" when you can't express yourself clearly. That experience taught me something crucial: language learning isn't just about grammar and vocabulary. It's about building the confidence to use what you know.
That's why my approach goes beyond textbooks. I create a space where you can practice without judgment, make mistakes without fear, and discover that you're more capable than you think. Whether you're a student preparing for exams or a semester abroad, a professional getting ready for business presentations, a senior looking to stay mentally sharp, or simply someone who wants to finally feel comfortable speaking English—I adapt to your pace and your goals.
What my clients tell me: After working together, students often say they feel more confident, more articulate, and—most importantly—no longer afraid to speak. That transformation is what drives my work.
Beyond language barriers: Sometimes what's holding you back isn't grammar—it's doubt, fear, or limiting beliefs from school experiences where learning felt impossible. As a certified systemic coach, I recognize these blocks and address them directly in our sessions, helping you move past old stories about what you can or can't do. And if you're facing challenges beyond language—career transitions, life changes, or simply feeling stuck—I also offer coaching services to help you gain clarity and take your next steps with confidence.

With nearly two decades of teaching experience throughout Southern Germany, I bring the patience, empathy, and proven methods needed to support your unique journey.

LESSONS
Language Opens Doors
ONE-ON-ONE INSTRUCTION
Your goals. Your pace. Your session.
1:1 lessons are built around what you actually need, whether that's gaining confidence in everyday conversation, preparing for a job interview or semester abroad, brushing up your business English, or getting ready for an exam. I work together with you to come up with a personalized plan to meet your unique needs.
CONVERSATION GROUP
Small group. Real conversation.
You probably speak English better than you think. You just don't get enough chances to actually use it.
The conversation group is a weekly hour of low-stakes practice online, in a small group, on topics that actually get you talking.
New rounds a few times a year. Drop me a message to get on the list.
SEMI-PRIVATE LESSONS
Two people, one session.
Semi-private lessons work best when you and your learning partner are at a similar level and have shared goals. The session is built around both of you: your pace, your topics, your questions.
A good option if you want the structure of regular lessons without the full cost of 1:1.
Haven't found what you're looking for? In addition to regular private, semi-private or group lessons, I also offer workshops on a variety of business topics, can help you prepare for an upcoming business trip or semester abroad, provide proofreading services and more.
