Hey! I’m Kalay Berry, I'm a English teacher, multi-media artist, content creator, and tutor currently based in Hue, Vietnam. I was originally living in Buffalo, New York before moving to Vietnam. I'm a American citizen. I design engaging ESL lessons for students from first grade through university prep, using games, storytelling, and real-world activities to build confidence and language skills. I love blending education, design, and storytelling to help people learn English in practical, enjoyable ways. Beyond teaching, I edit videos for social media and clients, produce informative content, and collaborate with learners to bring ideas to life. I mainly create long and short form videos around fantasy topics such as D&D, Blades in the dark, etc. And finally, I am an artist. I have been drawing ever since elementary school and I have delved into different kinds of art styles and mediums including digital, pencils, oil pastels, water colors and even simple crayons! I first built my life around being an artist but I have opened up to different opportunities, but I am always an artist at heart.
