As an entrepreneur and teacher, I'm dedicated to helping you
achieve your potential in your business and career.

I am a world-traveling farm girl with a passion for teaching English and communication. Through my online courses and lessons, I am ready to take you from being frustrated with language barriers, to feeling confident in speaking with English-speaking customers and associates. 

Here are a few ways I might be able to help:

Do you feel frustrated because you've tried to learn English in the past and did make progress? How would you feel if I told you that you do NOT need to know how to speak fluently in English about every subject? With my weekly growth plan, you can be intentional about the English words and phrases you want to practice that will ACTUALLY impact your business.

How would you feel about a refresher in English grammar, vocabulary, and usage with topics specific to business? I'll help you with intermediate and advanced topics.

Are you offering a fantastic product or service, but customers having a difficult time understanding your English pronunciation? I have the instruction and practice tools to improve your English pronunciation to avoid miscommunication.

Would you like to help yourself or your employees to interact with English-speaking customers in a way that makes the customers feel right at home? Do you want to finally be able to give a presentation to your colleagues without fear? Check out individualized, intense learning sessions with me.
It feels like I have been teaching my whole life! Growing up as the oldest of six children, I always was the teacher when we played school. It was only natural for me to begin teaching as an adult.

I taught music lessons and classes in my home and community. I formally taught English in public and private schools for 7 years. As a teacher, I got so much satisfaction out of helping my students learn and feel the actual benefits of what they were learning. I loved that their overall skills were improved and not just learning content for a test.

As I served in leadership in a Toastmasters, International club, I honed my skills for communication and public speaking. Now I am prepared to help you have greater confidence when speaking in front of others, whether a small gathering or a huge audience. 

I am constantly engaged in learning for my personal development: reading books, watching TED talks, and listening to podcasts. I am currently enrolled in a Intentional Communication course to continue to improve my own communication skills and be able to pass that knowledge along to my students.

Now as an online language teacher, I am helping adults realize their potential and achieve their goals. I am committed to enjoyable and meaningful learning experiences. I only want to offer you what is the most helpful to get you to your goals in the fastest way possible.
I have been the customer visiting a business where I felt very out of place and awkward because no one spoke to me in English. And this wasn't in a different country where they don't have many English-speaking customers. This was in Columbus, Ohio. 

I guarantee you that if someone would have at least tried a "Hello - welcome to the store" or "Can I help you find something?" or a "Thank you for coming in," I would be customer for life and tell all of my friends as well. It doesn't matter how good your food is, how amazing the products are, how awesome your service is if you cannot connect with your customers at least in a small way.

Your bottom line is being impacted every day - the good news is there's something you can do about it.
On the other hand, I worked at a mail sorting complex where I understood the difficulty of not being able to communicate. I was one of probably three English speaking workers and everyone else spoke Spanish or Somali. I felt so out of place not even being able to ask people where the bathroom was or how to clock in or out. People would try to communicate with me and I thought I understood, but then it would be a mistake, and I felt really stupid.

Are you someone who wants to be more comfortable at work and improve your job opportunities? Are you someone who wants to be more effective with English-speaking clients? You're in the right place.


I know that you are a driven, hard-working professional who desperately wants to expand your business but struggle with English fluency and confidence. This is a roadblock to the goal of growing your business and making more money.

I don't want anything to stand in the way of your business growth. I understand the struggle of wanting to succeed but being held back by communication problems.

I will provide you with intentional, focused English courses and lessons that will easily increase your language proficiency. You will experience growth and development and see doors opening to new customers and markets. 

I live in Ohio in the United States. I enjoy meditation, journaling, pottery, and using my passport. I am a Broadway Musical fanatic - especially the classics. My husband and I are the parents to six mostly-grown children. Our family has a good time playing games, making music, and eating good food. Cuddling my dog, Barnaby, is one of the highlights of my day.

Little known facts about me...

I was born in Italy and love Italian food...in Italy. Here in the states you will most likely find me in a Mexican restaurant.

I love, love, love traveling. I have traveled all over the United States including Alaska and Hawaii. I have traveled to Italy, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, England, Monaco, Portugal, South Korea, India, Mexico, Bahamas, Haiti, Jamaica, Canada, Turkey, and Greece.

One time I got stuck at the border between Mexico and the United States because of a expired ID card. They eventually let me back into the U.S.

I have a special talent of organizing documents on my computer into very specific folders.
So tell me about yourself. I'd love to hear from you!
