About Me
italki teacher since Feb 8, 2019Interest topicWritingArtSports & Fitness
I was born in New York City. I have often worked at jobs that have given me the opportunity to share knowledge & meet new people. With each new experience, I have learned a lot about people, their culture & myself. My goal is to one day travel the world & continue to learn & share knowledge.
I'm a writer in all genres, but I'm a self-published poet. I've been a freelance reporter for a newspaper, I'm an amateur photographer, & jewelry & clothing designer. In 2012 I started a writers group. In 2022 I began playing Pickleball & making Tiktok cartoon videos. Each year I like to do something new creatively.
I also enjoy cooking, hiking, rafting & I love science fiction & the supernatural.Me as a Teacher
Receiving a BA degree in Secondary Education from the University of Hartford, enhanced my ability to assist Adults & Children to tap into their own abilities & talents.
I have worked with adults for over ten years teaching English, writing/editing workshops, & empowerment & art workshops. I have worked in the public school system as a substitute teacher with children grades K-12 for over fifteen years. I have worked online with four different companies empowering children as well as adults on ways to improve their English & gain more confidence with the language. As an online teacher I can work with people of all ages assisting them with improving reading, writing and language skills.My lessons & teaching style

I had a great lesson with Kohloa! She helped correct my mistakes and explained how to say my ideas in a better and more natural way. She has such good energy and is very positive and encouraging!

If you want to find a teacher who can guide your kids to make a story by themselves , she is your best option.(which means she has a rich experience to teach kids improve speaking skills).
Besides, love her perfect accent.

Terrible experience!
"My English class experience was disappointing, to say the least. The teacher seemed utterly impatient and uninterested in understanding my struggles. The class began with a complete lack of warmth or friendliness. It's incredibly challenging to engage in learning with a teacher who lacks empathy and enthusiasm. A supportive and encouraging environment is crucial for effective learning, and unfortunately, that was sorely lacking in this class."
