Tutor BIO

I also have a bachelor's degree in creative writing and a master's degree in journalism.

I'm a great listener, a very patient teacher, and love good conversations. Real, natural conversations are vital for you to develop naturally in English, not just in a reactive way, but also in an active way, so you're confident to start and drive conversations. My international teaching has always been focused on General English and Business/Professional English. These are my specialties, but of course, I can provide you with any focus that you need because of my wide-ranging experience and training. Everyone needs to have the best and most natural English possible. Thus, my focus is on problem-solving what issues prevent people from reaching natural, high levels of English. I've even written a book to help International English Speakers (IESs) like you achieve this faster. The obstacles are usually phonology and physicality, the undeveloped 3Cs (of control, comfort, and confidence), and not understanding the difference between 'saying' English and 'speaking' English. Sadly, what most people learn in school is to say the English that's written. What I teach is how to speak English as it's truly spoken in the real world. Understand that naturalizing English is the key to success with speaking English, especially in your professional life. It's what puts you ahead of your competition. Tell me what your problems are in English and I'll show you how to solve them through simple strategies and ideas. We can strengthen all the core elements of communication and quickly send you on a path to independent and natural development. My objective is to train you so that you can achieve Better English Faster. To do this, we'll use strategies that are effective and natural that build your 3Cs of Control, Comfort, and Confidence. I can tell you all about this and more in your trial lesson. You'll see English in a completely new way. I hope to see you soon!
