As an American native, I teach American English.

I believe practicing in person makes the best difference in what people want to accomplish. I am very hands on and I like to talk to my stdents in the first lesson to evalaute their English skills via conversation and reading.

I alter the lessons depending on the student and what they are here to accomplish. If a student wishes to practice their interviews in English I will prepare a script of real life questions of what will be asked of them in the interview.

If a student is learning at a young age, I will alter the lessons through picture cards, and incorporating words in their favorite activites to use in natural conversation. We will speak only using English to get them comfortable with the usage.

For pronunciation I focus on reading aloud from books and taking part in conversations of topics that interest the students to get them comfortable and gain confidence.

For writing courses, I can advise in how to improve their writing skills in English especially on a professional level or in writing essays for university courses. Writing is one of my specialties and enjoy seeing the progress my students will make.

Open communication is key.
