ESL Services for Individuals and Small Groups

Thank you for choosing to work with me as your ESL coach.

Before I work with you, we meet online to talk about your English needs at this time, so I understand how to best help you achieve your goals. I do this for every client, whether you are working 1:1 or in small groups.

Many clients I work with want to increase their English fluency so that they can have a conversation with anyone. There are also clients who are already quite fluent in English, but would like to feel more comfortable participating in group discussions. Then there are clients who need to make presentations at work, and want to feel more comfortable doing so, and to be able to hold the attention of their American audience. Some clients want to change jobs and would like to practice how to answer interview questions and to feel more at ease during interviews. And some clients simply want to expand their circle of network either professionally or personally, and would like to understand how to do so in their new culture.

Whatever your English needs may be at this time, I customize my class for you so that you develop exactly the skills you want to improve.

I work with individuals in 1:1 sessions, and I also work with small groups. If you are interested in conversational English class, please scroll all the way to the bottom of this page to Services for small groups.
