    About me

    Hello! My name is Arkeym and I am an independent global contractor who teaches and tutors English. A native English speaker from the United States, I offer many methods of teaching that include, but are not limited to accent coaching, conversational English, business English, reading practices, sentence structure, TOEFL exam prep, and university level essay tutoring. I have friends from various ethnic groups and cultural backgrounds, and I support and advocate diversity; different cultures should be valued and appreciated. Every student has the right to feel respected, valued, and safe, and it is my responsibility as a teacher to ensure that each student does.


    I love what I do! English functions as a universal bridge, connecting us worldwide. Teaching American English holds significance due to its widespread use. Being competent with English allows you jump into conversations across cultures, handle business matters, and understand media content. Mastering it gives you access to global opportunities and a way to connect with others that knows no boundaries. I look forward to being able to build bridges as we all learn to better communicate...together. I'll see you in the classroom!


    I have logged thousands of hours while teaching and tutoring hundreds of students online. In addition to earning both a Bachelor of Arts for English and TEFL certification, I also have over 20 years of teaching, tutoring, coaching, and mentoring experience in office, classroom, formal, and informal settings that have given me skills that I can readily apply to a teaching or tutoring environment. I have tutored and taught students as young as four years old, and as advanced in age as 55 years, so I am well acquainted with different pedagogical methods. My methods of teaching include, but are not limited to accent coaching, conversational English, business English, reading practices, sentence structure, and university level essay tutoring.


    Book a trial lesson with me. I look forward to building your confidence and competence as I provide you with tools to help you learn. The world of academia can be intimidating and even discouraging, especially when learning a new language. After our session, I am confident that you will feel uplifted and encouraged. My goal is to always ensure that you leave our lessons feeling better. :-) I hope to tutor you soon!

      I had a great first lesson! Arkeym clearly knows what he’s doing. He guided the session with confidence, provided helpful examples and materials, and corrected me when needed. I felt supported the entire time. I’m looking forward to continuing our lessons together!
