In this video, I sit down with Erika (a blogger and best-selling travel writer) and share my personal story as a teacher and educator—where I started, what shaped me, and why I care so much about helping people communicate clearly in English. It’s less of a “tips” lesson and more of a behind-the-scenes conversation about my journey as a teacher, author, and podcaster, and the experiences that pushed me to build Expert English Solutions. I also explain what I focus on in my teaching: practical, real-life English that builds confidence—whether you’re preparing for IELTS or trying to write professional emails and speak more naturally at work. If you’ve ever wondered who’s behind the lessons, how I think about learning, or why I’m so direct about clarity and results, this video gives you that context. And if you want structured support beyond YouTube, I point you to my courses and programs on my website.
