Over the years, I’ve taught in various universities across the world, including in the Czech Republic (Olomouc), France (Lille), the Netherlands (Leiden), Taiwan (Taipei), and the U.S(Indiana).
In addition to my university teaching, I also offer online/one-on-one courses for learners of all levels—from complete beginners to advanced speakers—and of all ages, from 6 to 55.

I’m passionate about language education and familiar with different language learning methods. My lessons are always tailored to each student’s needs, goals, and background—so feel free to reach out and tell me more about your motivation and learning experience.
