About Me

I have a bachelor's degree in linguistics and I'm certified to teach ESL. I love helping others achieve their goals, especially in the areas of language proficiency and writing! I spent several years working internationally in community-based development and really enjoy meeting people from different backgrounds. I tailor my lessons to individual students needs and learning styles. Becoming proficient in a foreign language is a challenging but rewarding journey. I approach this journey with patience, understanding and a lot of humor! I can also help you with your professional, academic or creative writing. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. We can work together to create a learning plan that works for you!

Syd is an example of a perfect teacher, where you meet the talent, passion and joy. She was my English teacher at IH San Diego; her class was such a good time. We learned so much from her. In addition to how good teacher she was, she added the fun to the lesson. Also, she was very friendly with all the students and everyone liked her. Simply I wish that Syd still my teacher at school till now, but to lessen the impact of her departure; I contact her throw e mail and facebook and ask her help wi

Syd was my ESL teacher. She had great communication skills with students and her classes were always very interesting. Her great sense of humor made the lessons fun and pleasant. I liked that she was personally involved and was going an extra mile. She was good in understanding students needs. Syd is full of energy and was great in giving some of this positive vibrations to us. I strongly recommend her!

Syd is simply the best. Dedicated, talented and funny. If you ever thought English is a boring thing to study, you 'd better call her. Syd will give you the "seed " of true knowledge.
