I've been teaching English as a second language for more than a decade now. I help students strengthen their grammar, writing and most especially their speaking skills. Learning English is usually tough for non-native speakers which goes the same to other foreign languages but I'd like to give my students the confidence to speak the language and focus on what matters most-to communicate effectively. Because my lessons are mostly one-on-one, I have become more invested in conversational English and the beauty that comes with it. This must be the reason why I also enjoy editing podcasts and other audio materials. There is more to the job that I'm doing. I love being part in someone's journey whether it be English learning or Podcasting.
