English (ESL)

Hi, I'm Tamara, an ESL instructor and Yoga instructor. I am a true teacher at heart! I love to help people improve and reach their goals whether thats in learning English or with their fitness and wellness. 

For English as a 2nd Language: I have been involved with ESL and working with international students since 2011. I specialize in tutoring adult learners in conversation based classes that improve grammar and pronunciation. I am here to help you achieve your goal of being fluent in English!

For Yoga: I’m a certified experienced yoga instructor (E-RYT200), I’ve been certified since 2014. I’ve taught students of all ages, abilities, and settings. My teaching focuses on the whole body using traditional yoga movements as well as movements based on mobility. My main goal as a yoga instructor is to help my students connect with themselves through the practice using breath, mindfulness, and intuitive movement.

Practice your English conversation skills with an experienced teacher to guide and help you along the way. We will have a topic of conversation that you can express your opinion about, your teacher will help correct you and teach you how to express yourself properly.

My goal is to help you become a fluent English speaker so that you can achieve your personal goals and be successful in this language. You will have the chance to do most of the talking in our sessions and we will focus on the elements you would like the most help with. We will focus on how grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation and all other functions of the language come together with everyday life and conversation. Our classes will be conversation based so that you can get better at speaking and using the language in everyday conversation, this will help you to be the most success in acquiring the language since most of your interactions with native speakers will be through spoken conversation.
