Hi! I'm Laila, an experienced ESL teacher and tutor with over 10 years teaching young learners and adults from diverse backgrounds in China, the UAE, Oman, the Philippines, and the US. I hold a bachelor's degree in Sociology, plus TESOL and Teaching English to Young Learners certifications. I've used the Cambridge Ventures 3rd Edition curriculum for adults and Reach National Geographic and LOVE English Plus curriculum for young learners.
My biggest reward is helping students feel comfortable in learning English and succeed in school, work, family, and community life.
I specialize in Adult ESL/ESOL (beginner to advanced), conversation, pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary, reading, and writing, practical English for jobs, daily life, and American citizenship.
My method is student-centered and practical: I customize lessons to your goals and style using interactive activities, real-world scenarios, games, and other materials. Lessons are supportive, fun, and focused on building confidence with gentle feedback. I also welcome materials you prefer using.
I offer a complimentary 30-minute initial consultation with no obligation, allowing us to discuss your goals and ensure we are a good fit. Lessons are typically 60 minutes in length, though I am happy to adjust the duration to better suit your needs and schedule. Cancellations or rescheduling require at least 48 hours' notice to avoid being charged for the session. I will confirm all policies in writing via email prior to our first paid lesson.
I'm excited to help you or your child achieve your English goals! Message me today for your free consultation and to book lessons. Looking forward to working together!
