Hi there! I'm Ali :) I'm a native English teacher who specializes in helping students become more comfortable & confident as they prepare to live, work, and travel abroad. I'm known for my obsession with idioms and love connecting with students over conversations about cultural differences, their passions, and dreams. I'm a graduate of Georgetown University (B.A. in Gender Studies) and have two master's degrees, one in American Studies and the other in in Education. In my free time, I'm a nerd for making Google Maps lists, listening to psychology podcasts, and doing yoga. In our classes, you can expect personalized plans from start to finish. From the articles we read, to the emoji-decorated lists and homework I give you, everything will be tailored to you & your interests. Bonus: I love nothing more than making lists of students tv show & movie recommendations for my students!
