Bio
My name is Emma! I am originally from the Chicago area but I love travel, adventures, and living in new places. I have a passion for learning, especially when it comes to words and language study!
One of my biggest strengths is listening. I believe that most students already have a lot of the tools they need to succeed, even if they need help learning how to use them. I love to help students see this and develop confidence for themselves. I want the people I help to have a voice in and direct the process, with me acting as support when they need it.
