One-on-One Tutorials
I'm available during the day and in the evenings for custom-tailored English tutorials for beginner, intermediate and advance speakers. Together we will make you a more confident speaker. I'm a native English speaker who understands people first and foremost. We will work together to figure out where your challenges and strengths lie in pronunciation, word choice and intonation.
We will tailor your goals and education program to your needs, whether it's:
For a complex science presentation
Chatting with your customers
Confidently checking out at the grocery store
Speaking over the phone or in person
An interaction that is professional and high stakes or casual and friendly
I also work with children who have come here with their parents. We will sing songs and learn the words and sounds of English.
The American Job Interview
Discuss what is expected in a professional interview in the United States
Practice answering questions
Understanding soft skills, body language and small talk
Face concerns about your accent and pronunciation
Do you work in the sciences? In politics? In the tech sector? Focus on field specific interviews.
