Hi there! I'm an enthusiastic recent grad, and I'm serious about helping you ace your TOEFL. I’ve spent the last several years at Duke University mastering the art of high-stakes academic communication. Having navigated the challenge of achieving professional proficiency in a second language (French B2), graduating with High Distinction for a graduate-level curriculum as an undergraduate, and teaching a class on a niche subject of critical theory, I can to take you from knowing "some english" to speaking like a theorist. I’ve spent years at Duke Centers for International Development and Documentary Studies, adapting to different professional and artistic environments of English speaking over time. I have a TEFL certification and familiarity with the TOEFL exam, and I know exactly how to break down the logic of the TOEFL’s newest 2026 format. As a coach, I specialize in the "Academic Discussion" writing task and the fast-paced speaking sections where timing and clarity are everything. Whether we’re working on the nuances of the new adaptive reading modules or refining your rhythm for the listen-and-repeat tasks, my goal is to make you feel as expressive and confident in English as you are in your native tongue. Language learning is my passion. I’ve taught over 100 dance classes to students of all ages and backgrounds, and I bring that same patience, energy, and excitement to every 1-on-1 coaching session. I believe that language learning is a gift, and teaching is my calling. You'll feel with every session, that I'm excited to help you step into a whole new world with the TOEFL. With me, you'll not only feel confident for your exam, you'll feel excited, intellectually stimulated, and confident.
