About

I have observed other teachers trying to explain concepts to their students, but they don't phrase things in a clear, understandable way--and they seem to run out of patience. I am great communicator, I am very patient, and I have the ability to explain things in a way that my students seem to easily understand. I also listen very carefully to what my students say they want to accomplish from our lessons, and I make sure that I address these needs in a way that is fully satisfactory to the student. I love seeing the progress my students make. It's very gratifying to hear the positive feedback they get about their new skills from their family, friends, and coworkers. In fact, I just finished working with a student from China whose supervisor and coworkers couldn't understand anything he was saying. I'm happy to report that everyone at the office can now understand him.

Jan is a great teacher! We just met about a couple of days ago, and she is very good at detecting what I truly needed to work on in order to move to the next level. Passionate teachers are everywhere, but Jan is, in addition to being passionate about teaching English, so cheering, caring, and very attentive that she always makes sure if I have correctly understood what I learned during the lesson. She really hopes to see the growth of her students. I felt much more confident and comfortable speaking English after her lesson. I will definitely come back, as I'm certain that if I continue to learn from her more about the practical aspect of the living language, it brings me much closer to my future goal.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
If the student buys a package of 10 one hour lessons, I give a 10% discount. So instead of $500 for the package, the student would pay only $450.
What types of customers have you worked with?
English as a Second Language (ESL) Grammar, Spelling, and Conversation Accent Reduction Actors for Line Coaching
Describe a recent project you are fond of. How long did it take?
I just finished working with a student from China whose supervisor and coworkers couldn't understand what he was saying. I'm happy to report that now everyone at his office can understand him. I have also worked with students from France and Russia who always spoke in the present tense; they are now "self-correcting" when speaking about an event in the past or future. This is a benchmark in our profession, indicating that the student is becoming mindful when they speak and needing instructor correction less and less.
