Raquel

Interests: I am a copywriter/editor and Behavioral healthcare worker. I am also a self-employed tutor with two years experience and ongoing TEFL certification. I hope to connect with many students here and help them increase their confidence in speaking, reading, writing, and listening in English! I want to bring conversational and professional education to students learning English through these lessons.

I will focus solely on my student upon their first lesson, honing in on learning what they know and what they can improve on before setting them up with a lesson plan. With approval from the student, we can begin and have the pace set by the student, never moving forward until the student feels ready.

Through natural conversation, intuitive and intentional teaching of English grammar concepts, syntax, and comprehension, I can ensure that my students can become comfortable with any mode of English they are trying to improve on!

I have a Bachelor's Degree in Health-Science and am very integrated in the Medical Community, specifically Mental health.

Any students who wish to specialize and focus on Medical or Business Professional English will receive adjusted lesson plans so that we can focus on this type of improvement as well.

My hobbies include writing poetry and fiction—but I am proficient in all writing styles from professional to whimsical. I also love reading, Astrology and tarot, and learning Korean!
