About Emma
Hello there!
I am a Cum Laude (3.64 GPA) graduate of Eastern Washington University with a Bachelor's degree in Teaching English as a Second Language. I also minored in Japanese and Film Studies, which informs my approach to language teaching. I have worked with adult refugees and immigrants developing advanced workplace English skills, worked with exchange students from across Asia to prepare them for regular college classes, and developed instructional materials for English Language Learners of all ages from children to seniors.
My approach involves digging into the "why" behind English's quirks, encouraging students to use language with purpose, not just repeating what they're told is "correct." I am a strong believer in using visuals to help inform meaning and deepen understanding, regardless of age group. My goal is to create a stress-free classroom where students enjoy the process of learning. Let's work together to achieve your language goals!

I primarily work with adult English Language Learners, but am comfortable working with younger students as well. CEFR levels A1 - C2 welcome.
To help you achieve your language goals, my lessons involve a balance of discussion, strategy, and practice. Discussions are the natural way language is acquired as two people negotiate meaning and try to understand each other. Strategies include grammar, vocabulary, and other concepts that deepen understanding of purpose. Practice is where we bring it all together using scenarios that are authentic to your life to help you feel prepared for real-world situations.

Emma is a very kind and intrinsically passionate instructor who shows real care to her students and their specific needs. Her ability to analyze and convey language materials and apply their real-world use to her courses makes what you're learning feel tangible, applicable, and fun. She possesses a high level of adaptability and comes across as authentic and committed to her students' success, regardless of where they're starting from or prior experience with language learning. As I am someone who has both succeeded and failed at learning several different languages in the past, I wish I had more instructors like Emma who really put in a successful effort to accommodate for the individual's needs and adapt their teaching accordingly. Emma is clearly someone who values you, what she does, and her commitment to continuous learning. She keeps it realistic without feeling pressured, and is of immense benefit to everyone she works with.
Emma is consistent English teacher whose talent and love for education are extremely commendable and her ability to teach the language to those with little to no prior experience with the language is phenomenal. As an educator myself, she has also shown herself to be reliable for bouncing didactic materials off of, that is to say that she produces her own teaching materials which she herself tailors to her students. For a personalized journey towards learning the English language, there are very few I could recommend, Emma being amongst those few.
Very professional and a very nice person!
A very visual teacher, she makes sure to have a good graphic and style for all her lessons.
Very knowledgeable in a lot of topics, so conversation is very easy with her as well.
Has helped me improve my english over the years, can't recommend her enough!View more recommendations
