I’m an American English teacher in Taiwan who works almost exclusively with adults.
I don’t teach tests, textbooks, or children.
My classes focus on speaking, pronunciation, and natural conversation, with real correction — not just chatting.
Classes are 100% in English (this actually helps speaking more than people expect).
I’m opening a few new conversation slots right now.
If you’re an adult who wants to actually speak better, feel free to comment or message me.
