WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT
Personalized & Customized Program
Every student has unique needs. Together, we can create a program that includes any combination of pronunciation, Business English, Vocabulary, and Grammar that you need to speak more clearly, confidently, and naturally.
Daily Practice
Mastering language skills is much like mastering a musical instrument. It requires daily drills and exercises to develop your ear and your comfort creating the various sounds that make up vowels, consonants, words, and sentences - the music of American English.
Personalized Class Notes
At the end of each class, I send a copy of notes taken and materials used in class. This way, students have a document to review and use for daily practice.
A Motivating and Empowering Approach
I am patient, experienced, and enthusiastic about helping people to reach their language potential. My classes are motivating, fun, and customized to your specific goals to help you speak English more smoothly and more confidently.
The way you speak is a reflection of your identity, mindset, confidence, and self expression. Through this process, you can develop the mentality and habits that are necessary to master speaking English.
What can You expect in each area:
Pronunciation:
Did you know that there are 16 vowel sounds in North American English? Together, we can train every vowel and consonant sound until your speech sounds and feels natural. I can help you improve your pronunciation through:
Learning to identify and produce all English vowel and consonant sounds correctly
Learning where to stress sounds in words, and words within sentences
Learning intonation patterns that native English speakers use and expect to hear
Business English:
There are a variety of elements that empower English speakers to communicate effectively in business. I can help you develop skills and prepare for:
Small talk and networking
Giving presentations
Connecting with co-workers and business contacts
Best practices in emailing
Problem solving/conflict resolution
Job Interviews
Talking about your professional background and experience
Body language
Vocabulary & Eloquence
By expanding your vocabulary and integrating specific phrases and expressions into your speech, you will begin to speak more eloquently and with more authority.
I can help you expand your vocabulary by focusing on:
Common expressions
Vocabulary to eloquently express opinions, talk about yourself, talk about world events, culture, and your interests.
Slang
Ways to speak diplomatically
Grammar:
If you’ve been speaking English for a while, it’s likely that you make some consistent, unconscious errors. Together we can identify and correct any of these in areas like:
Tenses (Speaking about the past, present, and future)
Verb Conjugation (I am, you are, she is, they are, we are)
Conditional (If I had a million dollars, I would…)
Phrasal Verbs (calm down, pick up, cheer up, think over)
etc.
