English is the quintessential global language, used almost everywhere and in everyday life. It's becoming increasingly mainstream, especially among children, thanks to memes like 6-7. English-language videos go much more viral on TikTok and Instagram, naturally raising the question of whether speaking the language is advantageous. Many claim to be able to speak English simply by watching short videos, but ultimately, a deeper understanding is crucial. I studied English from third to tenth grade at a grammar school and consistently earned top marks. I've always been passionate about languages, having grown up bilingual at home, speaking Vietnamese and German, and learning three additional foreign languages at school: English, French, and Spanish. I would be thrilled if you'd give my English course a try ;)

I am an American living in Switzerland. English is my first language, as well as having been one of my primary studies during my time in college. I excel in English at all levels; however, my primary focus is to help people through the beginner and intermediate stages. As someone who learned English as their first language, I find the textbook way of teaching English to be a little rigid; my goal is to help you learn English in the most natural way possible.
