A lifelong desire to help
My B.S. in Social Work and experience serving local communities in six Asian countries strengthened my commitment to listening carefully, respecting cultural differences, and helping each student feel comfortable.

What I bring to each lesson
The five qualities that shape my teaching.
Good teaching begins with knowledge. It also requires patience, attention, and genuine care for the person learning.
Patient and attentive
Many of my students are beginners. I listen carefully, slow down when needed, and explain each idea clearly.
Understanding
Learning a new language and culture can create pressure. I create a safe space where you can learn without embarrassment.
Dedicated
For 14 years, I have taught students from 19 countries and territories. Many students have studied with me for years.
Student-focused
From true beginners to advanced learners, I tailor each lesson to the student's goals. I truly love what I do.
My background
Listening came before teaching.
My social-work training taught me to listen carefully and support people through difficult changes. Living and serving in different cultures taught me to respect the many ways people communicate and learn.
“Ann creates a nurturing and inclusive learning environment where every student feels valued and supported.”
