Perfect language exchange partner

Fun and humorous, is comfortable with being a beginner. I'm a certified TEFL teacher, and can help you fine tune your use of English, but am looking for a mutual learning buddy. I'll help you and hopefully you can help me in return!

My learning goals

I'd like to speak more and practice my fluency, as it is easy to learn a language on paper while not knowing how to use it.
