About
Hi! I'm Jane and originally from London, UK but have moved around a lot over the years - from Switzerland to Berlin Germany and then across the pond to Vancouver, Canada before settling down here in s... unny California with my family and dog.
In all my travels, I have always been teaching non-native speakers learn English - whether it's for fun, school, college, university or business needs! I have always enjoyed the variety of students I have taught in terms of ages and social and cultural backgrounds.
I love teaching and seeing my students progress and succeed while having fun as they do it! I particularly love preparing students for examinations and tests as I love working with them towards a fixed goal and watching them succeed - it's very fulfilling!
I look forward to hearing from you!read more
