About me

Hi there! I'm passionate about creating immersive and memorable gaming experiences. Whether you're stepping into the role of a sleuth in Brindlewood Bay, battling through dungeons in D&D, or taking on Eldritch Horrors in Call of Cthulhu, I strive to make every session engaging and tailored to the group. As both an experienced Game Master and IELTS teacher, I focus on using Dungeons & Dragons as a fun and interactive way for non-native English speakers to practice and improve their language skills. If you're aiming to build confidence in your English or simply looking to enhance your fluency in a creative setting, my games offer a perfect blend of education and entertainment. I also offer separate games for non-native and native speakers to ensure that everyone can play in an environment that suits their needs. What I Offer: Language Learning Through Play: My sessions are a great way to immerse yourself in English while having a blast. We’ll explore rich narratives, develop characters, and engage in conversations that naturally build your language abilities. Character-Driven Stories: I love helping players develop their characters, weaving their backstories into the narrative for a deeply personal experience. Inclusive for All: While I specialize in working with non-native English speakers, my games are open to everyone. I’m committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all players, with separate games for non-native and native speakers to ensure everyone’s comfort and enjoyment. Flexible Play Style: I balance the "Rule of Cool" with the rules as written, always focusing on what makes the game fun and satisfying for the group. In our first session, we'll create characters together, ensuring that everyone has a role they’re excited to play. We’ll be using Discord for voice communication, and I’m always available to help you prepare and answer any questions you might have. Whether you’re here to practice your English or to embark on an epic adventure, I’m excited to roll some dice and tell amazing stories together!

GM Style

As a Game Master, I focus on creating a collaborative and riveting experience where every player feels like their story matters. My approach combines detailed storytelling with a flexible play style that adapts to the needs and preferences of the group. Character Focused: I believe that the heart of any great game lies in its characters. I work closely with players to develop rich backstories and weave them into the overarching narrative, ensuring everyone has moments to shine. Vivid Worldbuilding: I create a memorable game world through detailed descriptions, making every scene feel real and engaging. Whether it's the tension of a battle or the quiet moments of reflection, I aim to craft an experience that draws you in. Balanced Rules Approach: I balance the "Rule of Cool" with the rules as written. While I respect the game’s mechanics, I’m always open to bending the rules if it means enhancing the fun and excitement of the game. Collaborative Storytelling: I see the game as a shared story we’re all telling together. I encourage player creativity and collaboration, ensuring that everyone has a hand in shaping the adventure. Supportive Environment: With seven years of experience as an IELTS teacher, I create a welcoming and inclusive environment where all players, regardless of experience level, feel comfortable. For non-native English speakers, I integrate opportunities to practice conversational skills naturally within the game, helping to build confidence in a fun and engaging way.
