About Me
Hello, I recently relocated to France from Los Angeles, bringing over five years of creative experience working with brands and wedding clients.
I specialize in modern calligraphy and brush lettering, and I also offer conversational English practice for students who want to build confidence speaking naturally.
⸻
Creative Background
I’ve worked on custom lettering projects for weddings, boutique brands, and personal commissions. From envelope addressing to large-scale custom pieces, I understand both the technical side of lettering and the practical side of real client work.
My approach is structured, encouraging, and beginner-friendly. I break down techniques into clear, manageable steps so you can see real progress quickly.
⸻
English Conversation Practice
As a native English speaker from the United States, I help students improve:
• Speaking confidence
• Pronunciation
• Natural conversation flow
• Vocabulary in real-life situations
This is conversational practice — not formal exam preparation — ideal for students who want to feel more comfortable speaking English in everyday or professional settings.
⸻
Teaching Style
Patient, practical, and clear.
No intimidation. No unnecessary jargon. Just structured guidance and steady progress.
I work well with:
• Complete beginners
• Creative learners
• Students building language confidence
• Adults and teens
I speak English fluently (and French at a beginner conversational level), which can help ease communication for French-speaking students.
Let’s build a skill you’ll actually use — whether that’s beautiful lettering or confident English conversation.
