Introduction: I specialize in teaching Accent Reduction for ESL which includes a mixture of pronunciation, intonation, rhythm, and speaking exercises. Along with pronunciation: I teach Public Speaking for ESL where you will learn to sound more professional and confident while getting practice giving presentations. I also coach Actors to speak with an American accent using scripts and monologues. The class is $85/hour and I offer a discount for multiple classes/week or if you pay in advance. If you’re interested, contact me and we can meet online for a free trial class. I’ll do an assessment of your English and explain the course in more detail. You can also tell me exactly what you’re looking for from your English class. I have a BA from Boston University where I graduated with honors and a 120-hour TESOL Certificate in ESL. And I can also cover Business English and basic English (reading, writing and grammar). I’m an experienced, patient and fun tutor who will help you to speak with a smoother, more professional accent!

Jessica is an amazing teacher. Very patient and supportive, well read and knowledgeable, on top of which she has gotten special talent in identifying grey areas of a student and delivering custom-tailored lessons accordingly. If you are looking for accent reduction, better pronunciation, enhanced fluency, or if you needed some assistance in your Masters degree in English, she is the teacher to go to. Strongly recommended.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I give a discounted rate for more than 2 classes per week or if you make payment in advance.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first class, which is free, is an Assessment of your English. After speaking together, reading out loud (and possibly taking an English level test) I will have a good idea about how many classes it will take to improve your accent. I also let you know what areas we will be working on. It may be pronouncing the TH, R or A sounds or learning how to link English like native speakers do.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have a bachelor’s degree from Boston University where I graduated cum laude (with honors) and a 120-hour TESOL Certificate in English as a Second Language. I am also certified by the National Tutoring Association and an SAT/ACT certified tutor.
