Sobre mim
Aloha! My name is Malia and I'm a native English tutor from the United States. I was born and raised in the beautiful islands of Hawaii, but I've traveled all over the world (43 countries and counting) and I've encountered many languages during my travels, including Japanese, French, Spanish and Turkish.
I received my CELTA certificate to teach English to adults and I've taught in language schools, private schools and universities, as well as individual students and executives looking to improve their general or business English. In the business world, I have personal experience working in a variety of fields: retail sales and management, operations, human resources, accounting, legal, communications/PR and as an Executive Assistant to the CEO of a nonprofit.
I specialize in conversation classes to improve your fluency and expand your vocabulary. I believe that the best way to learn a language is through topics that are engaging and fun so we will often work from material relating to your interests or hobbies, emails or situations from your work, role plays you might encounter traveling, videos like TED Talks, or from topics in the news. If you've got a job interview or work presentation coming up, I'm happy to help you prepare and practice for it.
Although you will get some corrections while speaking during class, I find that it's usually best to focus on error correction at the end of a session, so that it doesn't hinder your fluency. My goal is to help you to become confident and comfortable using English in your everyday life.
I'm looking forward to meeting you! =)

I’ve been working with Malia for the past 8 months, meeting twice weekly, and the transformation I’ve experienced in my English proficiency has been unbelievable. When we began, my vocabulary was limited and my fluency was poor. Today, not only do I have a richer vocabulary, but I also speak English with a confidence I never thought possible. Malia has been an indispensable guide along this journey. Her consistent encouragement has helped me overcome language barriers and build my own unique voice in English. She’s been more than just a language coach; she has pushed me to improve and excel. She’s taught me to take pride in my linguistic progress; I am eternally grateful for that. But it’s not just her technical expertise in language instruction that makes Malia outstanding—it’s also her personality. She is enthusiastic and makes every session enjoyable. Moreover, her deep knowledge of various cultures makes our lessons dynamic and with real-world context, making the learning process much more engaging.
In short, Malia is an exceptional English coach. Her skillful teaching, dynamic personality, and cultural insights have been invaluable resources in my language journey. I couldn’t be happier with my progress, and I have Malia to thank for it.

For me, it was essential to connect with my teacher to feel confident throughout this process. I felt that connection with Malia from the first moment. She is excellent and challenges me in every class to get the most out of this journey.

The lessons with Malia are absolutely relaxed and helpful. You don't even realize that you are in a lesson. It feels like a casual conversation where you learn a lot. I look forward to each new appointment with Malia. Absolutely recommendable.
