$20/half hour $30/45 minutes $35/hour I cultivate regular weekly sessions, and in some cases two or three times a week. I am tolerant of cancellations, but after a certain point, that time slot will become flexible and I opens will start giving it to other customers.
- What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I get to know them, and try to understand what their language needs are in the world. Then we work on vocabulary, key phrases, and pronunciation. I find out their interests, so that we can read Related articles out loud, and work into discussion of subjects where they work on expressing themselves, and on their listening comprehension when I speak. I am gentle but persistent.

I have my bachelors degree in English. I worked as an editor and writer for 30 years. I lived in China and taught English for two years at college level.
