Hello! My name is Zoie, and I'm so excited to be here! 

I am 19 years old, and I live in the state of Oregon in the United States, right in the heart of the Pacific Northwest! I was born in the Philippines, but my family moved to the US when I was young. I grew up bilingually, being able to speak Bisaya (a language of the Philippines) and English fluently. It wasn't easy for me to grasp English being so young, so please don't be afraid to make mistakes and ask me questions in lessons, as I know very well how difficult it is! I am also TEFL certified (Teaching English as a Foreign Language), and I'm just starting my experience in English teaching! ヽ(•‿•)ノ

Here are some things about myself as an introduction:)

- I aspire to be a nurse, and will apply to nursing school soon!

- I work at a hospital as a Nursing Assistant, and have witnessed a variety of wounds and medical issues with my patients!

- I like learning about sciences, especially about Anatomy and Physiology, or just studying functions of the human body! It's very interesting how we live and function the way we do!

- I love to play video games on my Nintendo Switch (The whole Zelda series has my heart), and some games on my PC (Macbook).

- I like to read books on classic American literature! I just finished reading Fahrenheit 451!

- I love beauty and fashion, and always love to dress up as much as I can!

- I watched a lot of anime when I was younger! My favorites were more shoujo genre, like: Ao Haru Ride, Orange, Tonari No Kaibutsu-kun. But I also like Attack on Titan, Erased, and Bungou Stray Dogs. I also really love Ghibli films! 

- I love to dance and listen to KPop and JPop! I used to be an AKB48, Baby Metal, and Hello! Project fan when I was growing up! I like the KPop groups: NewJeans, Red Velvet, IVE

- I'm very patient and I'll try not to give you answers right away, but rather give you hints and guidance!

- I want to try out teaching English because I've always had a passion for the English subject throughout my middle and high school years! I loved to write essays, do research, and make presentations for my classes.

I'd love to get to know you through lessons! Some things I can provide for you are:

- Improving your English pronunciation

- Expanding your English vocabulary

- Teaching you popular and current English slang, and common phrases to make your speaking sound natural

- Provide you a safe and fun space for learning the English language!!

I can follow a lesson with textbooks/materials that you want, but I also encourage sessions of free-talk as well, to fully immerse students in English conversationally, like you would in the real world! We can correct, and learn along the way.Please let me know what you'd like to do in our lessons:) Whatever you want to work on, we can do it! d(>_･ )

I am still new to teaching English, but we can learn how to do this together! °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°
