hello hello!
I’m cami the english coach!
I am a TEFL-Certified ESL tutor with over 10 years of teaching experience to thousands of students all across the globe.
In 2013, I moved to South Korea to teach English to children for five years. But after moving back to the United States in 2018, I decided to make the switch to teaching online to help students around the world with everything from conversational speaking, TOEFL and Cambridge exam preparation, and writing corrections for essays and graduate theses.
In 2022, I realized that there was a gap in the Online English Education market for flexible and affordable online English education for overwhelmed adults and busy teens, so I started Cami’s English Corner, an online education platform aimed to help students learn English in a fun, judgement-free, and relaxed setting that fits hectic schedules.
My ultimate goal is to help students feel like their most confident selves when speaking in English so that they can achieve their educational, professional, and personal dreams.
My Approach
I will tailor-fit your tutoring sessions to fit exactly what you need to achieve your goals! I have specific and effective techniques to work on all areas of English: reading, writing, pronunciation, and speaking. Most importantly, I want to help you feel confident with your English skills, so I provide a comfortable and supportive (and fun!) environment for you to practice English.
Determine your goals
Not everybody has the same goals or reasons to improve their English. My aim is for us to figure out exactly what you’re hoping to accomplish with your English proficiency.
Build a study plan
After determining exactly what your goals are, we will create a study plan that realistically fits your busy schedule so that you can seamlessly integrate your English practice into your life.
