- About: I graduated from UCLA with a BA in both applied linguistics and Japanese and have a Masters Degree from Cal State LA in TESOL I have been tutoring professionally for many years, and in 2021 established my own tutoring service. I specialize in teaching my students to speak with a standard American accent, helping my students to reduce their accents with a scientific approach. With Strømmen I have worked with students of all kinds, including CEOs, Actors and VIPS to help them reduce their accents. At UCLA I was able to go abroad to China for two months and then a year later to Japan for a whole year. I think my experiences abroad have really shaped me as a teacher since being a learner abroad myself has given me a perspective that really helps me understand my students better. I hope to continue to make friends and help those from abroad.
