Description
Hello everyone! My name is Leiana and I am a native English speaker from United States. I would like to volunteer and teach English for language exchange and lodging. I have a bachelors degree in Business Administration and Human Resource Management, I am TESOL Certified & currently working on my Masters for International Affairs. I have experience teaching individuals from ages 5 all the way up to middle-aged adults. I like to find the purpose behind the students' reason of wanting to learn English and tailor the lesson to that individual. I like to make learning an overall fun experience. I like connecting with people and learning about different cultures and backgrounds. I am looking forward to hearing from you!
