Experienced tutor in Life coaching in Portland, Bells offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

Isabelle is not only a brilliant English tutor but mostly an effective life coach who indeed helped me to change my life for good in so many ways.

She was my English tutor for around 3 years starting from 2013. Back then, I was not fluent in oral English at all and simply had low confidence in English speaking, even though I had tried tutoring by native speakers before. Isabelle was very different. Her openness to any topic and her high capacities in both intellectual and emotional aspects really made the difference. I felt that I was able to speak more and more in English fluently with literally no limitation on topics, while never felt I was "corrected" about the language. She did it in a natural and smooth way so that I gained not only the fluency in speaking but mostly the confidence part which I believe is the key to improving oral English speaking.

And the journey with Isabelle went on once the language itself became not a challenge anymore. I was substantially benefited by her life coaching skills during some tough periods of my life. The trust built up between us allowed me to talk about my early year experience and the difficulties and doubts I had back then. Now look back, after making some real changes including moving to a new country and getting a dream job there, I am truly grateful that Isabelle was there to life-coach me and to empower me with useful "tools", and essentially to believe in myself.

I like working with Bells!

Bells is incredibly patient and kind. Bells was able to guide me in a way that was so helpful and also gave me space to self pace. I have Learned and grown so much. I highly recommend working with Bells!

Her ability to find a way to explain something you do not understand is exceptional. If you do not understand, she will find another way to explain until you do understand. And a lot of the time, you end up learning more than was intended, because when she teaches you one thing, the way she helps you learn a new thing ends up broadening your understanding in other areas you did not expect. Your chance to learn from her is one you will never want to pass up.

As my English tutor, Bells has a huge amount of vocabulary especially in some specific areas for example science. She is nice and smart.

I am from China. It has been almost two years ever since I took Bells's tutoring lesson and I can say she is best one among all tutors I have had yet.

She usually delivers more than I expect during the tutoring, like when we read together, she sometimes says, wait, wait, I think you should know the word here and I will tell you more about the background.

I used to take one hour per week from Bells and now I take three in a week. The more I learned from Bells, the more I want to learn with her.

She is a great teacher and explains things in a way that is easily understood. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a tutor.
