Hi, I'm Christina.
I am a literacy specialist and an academic coach. I've been teaching the hidden patterns of the English language since 2006 and I know how much more effective it is to help you understand the logic versus trying to memorize word-by-word.
I am excited to make English easier for you and I commend your efforts in trying to learn this ridiculously complicated language!
