About Travis
I’m an English major at San Diego State University and a first-generation student, so I know what it’s like to learn a new language and feel unsure. I help students build confidence, improve fluency, and enjoy learning English.
My lessons are fun and personalized, covering conversation, grammar, pronunciation, essay writing, exam prep, or anything you need. I also speak Spanish, so I can clarify tricky concepts if needed.
We can chat about books, travel, music, art, culture, or hobbies, making lessons engaging and practical.
Whether you’re a teen, university student, or professional, I’ll help you speak English confidently and naturally.
