What do you actually want English for?
We start there. Every lesson is built around your goal — not a one-size curriculum you'll quietly abandon by week three.
Business English
Meetings, emails, calls, presentations. Sound clear and credible at work — in the room and on the screen share.
IELTS & exams
Structured prep that works — my students have walked in and scored 8.5+. We'll target exactly what's holding your band back.
Interview prep
Job on the line? We'll rehearse your answers, smooth your delivery, and get you walking in calm instead of clammy.
Travel & everyday
The English you need to live, move, and connect — ordering, asking, joking, making friends in a language that isn't your first.
Kids & teens (6–18)
Patient, playful, structured. I've taught all ages in international and local schools — learning that kids actually look forward to.
How it feels to learn with me
Relaxed room. Real corrections.
Here's the thing about speaking a new language: it's not the grammar that stops you, it's the nerves. So my lessons are warm and low-pressure on purpose — and then I correct you properly, because that's the part that actually moves you forward.
- Tailored to your goal, your level, your accent — not a generic script.
- Lots of talking. You're here to speak, not watch me speak.
- Honest, kind feedback so you fix the habits holding you back.
- I learned a language as an adult abroad too — I genuinely get the struggle.
Don't take my word for it

The human teaching you
Hi, I'm Mckenzie.
I'm American, I've lived abroad for years, and these days you'll find me in Bali — teaching in international and local schools by day and meeting students online from all over the world.
I didn't start in classrooms. My first career was in the medical field, which drilled discipline and precision into me. But what I loved was the communication — helping people understand and be understood. So I followed that, and I've been teaching English for 6+ years since.
Living in countries where I had to learn the language myself taught me exactly how it feels to have a head full of thoughts and a mouth that won't cooperate. That's the gap I help you close.
From Bali, for wherever you are.
