About Alison
Hi there! I'm Aly Guan, and I’m so excited to help you on your English learning journey! Originally from the Bay Area, I’ve now made Portland my home, where I enjoy exploring the city’s coffee shops, restaurants, and beautiful outdoor spaces. When I'm not teaching, you can usually find me out on a walk or hike, taking in nature, or spending time with my three cats—my furry companions who keep me on my toes!
I absolutely love reading and discovering new books, and I believe learning English can be just as fun and rewarding as diving into a great story. I'm also passionate about food, meeting new people, and traveling whenever I get the chance.
In my lessons, I aim to make learning relaxed, enjoyable, and engaging. I want you to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and celebrating your progress! Let's make learning English a fun adventure together!
