TIFFANY D.

I'm a linguist and educator passionate about bridging communication gaps through language. Holding a MSc in Clinical Linguistics and an MA in Applied Linguistics, I´ve taught at Qatar University, SUNY Korea, and schools in Germany and the UAE, specializing in academic writing, business English, and phonetics. As someone fluent in Spanish and familiar with Korean and German, I understand the challenges of language learning firsthand. My multicultural background--from the US to the Middle East and Asia helps me connect with diverse learners. Whether you're a student, professional, or lifelong learner, I'm committed to making English accessible, relevant, and fun.

My teaching prioritizes personalization and interaction. I begin by understanding your interests, goals, and challenges, then design lessons around topics you care about- business, travel, or pop culture- to boost engagement. For conversational skills, I use role-play, debates, and real-world scenarios. For writing, I focus on structured feedback and genre-specific practice (ex., emails, essays). I incorporate multimedia (articles, podcasts) and phonetic techniques to improve clarity and fluency. Regular progress checks and adaptable pacing ensure lessons stay effective yet relaxed. My goal is to create a supportive space where mistakes are part of learning, and confidence grows with every session.
