About the store
With over 23 years of experience as an educator, I’ve taught in both traditional classrooms and virtual learning environments. I began my career as a middle school English and science teacher, and after adopting my children, I transitioned into online instruction so I could support my family while staying home.
It was during this time that I discovered my passion for teaching English Language Learners. I quickly became one of the top instructors in my organization and even earned a fully funded trip to Beijing in recognition of my success.
Since then, I’ve built a thriving private tutoring business—one that now maintains a waitlist due to consistent demand. I enjoy working with high-quality online curricula, but I also realized that my students needed richer opportunities for meaningful conversation practice. To meet that need, I began developing my own materials designed to build confidence, fluency, and real-world communication skills.
I’m excited to share some of the resources I’ve created—and the many more that are on the way!

It was during this time that I discovered my passion for teaching English Language Learners. I quickly became one of the top instructors in my organization and even earned a fully funded trip to Beijing in recognition of my success.

Teaching style
I believe in the importance of learning language through conversation. While I use online curriculums to teach the finer points of grammar, vocabulary, etc., most of student learning happens through conversation. I have struggled to find simple tools that help students in this area, so I hope to provide this through "Conversation Sheets" to give teachers a way to build conversation with their students.
