About Esmee
As a political science graduate who studied at the University of British Columbia and TEFL level 5 certified (168+ hours), my background includes teaching international students at VGC International College. Having also studied at Sciences Po Paris (Go Global Award) and at NTNU Taipei as a Huayu Enrichment Scholar, I bring a rigorous global perspective to helping students bridge the gap between intermediate fluency and high-level academic precision.
Having navigated learning foreign languages myself, I know how intimidating high-level fluency can be. My teaching is diagnostic, actionable, and structured to give you a supportive space to express complex ideas naturally.

Level 5 TEFL Certification — 168+ hours of professional training

Struggling with university essay structure, academic tone, or hitting your target score on the IELTS Academic exam? Standard conversational English classes won't get you past your deadlines—you need advanced, structured guidance from someone who understands rigorous academic expectations.
I hold a political science degree from the University of British Columbia (UBC) alongside a Level 5 TEFL Certification. I specialize in helping students bridge the gap between intermediate fluency and high-level academic precision.
What We Can Work On:
• Academic Essay & Thesis Writing: Structuring arguments, citations, and critical analysis.
• IELTS Academic & TOEFL Prep: Targeted strategies for Speaking, Writing, and rubric-based scoring.
• Advanced Grammar & Tone: Eliminating repetitive errors and elevating your academic vocabulary.
My teaching approach is diagnostic, actionable, and focused on tangible results. Every session includes direct feedback, clear structural frameworks, and practical editing strategies you can apply immediately to your coursework or exam.
