Meet your teacher

Hi, I'm Teacher Reed

I'm an American English teacher from California. I studied at California State University, Chico, where I earned a double bachelor's degree in Communication and Spanish, and I learned a second language myself, so I know what it feels like to be the student.

I have 12 years of teaching experience across 20+ countries on four continents, including 8 years teaching online. My classes are built around real conversation: interesting topics, lots of speaking time, and a relaxed space where students feel comfortable taking risks and asking questions.

Conversation-based classes

Students speak most of the class. They build fluency, confidence, and a feel for how English is really used.

Long-term teacher-student relationships

Students learn with the same teacher every week. That builds confidence, makes it easy to track their progress, and creates a strong bond.

Teacher Reed around the world

From Chiang Mai to northern Spain, Italy, and China, travel keeps my lessons full of real stories and real-world English.
