About me
Clear speech can make a child feel more confident in every part of English learning. My lessons are especially helpful for students who need support with pronunciation, speaking, vocabulary, reading, listening, grammar, and natural communication.
My background is in speech-language pathology and English teaching. I hold a Master of Science in Speech-Language Pathology and have worked as a speech-language pathologist, ESL instructor, reading teacher, and English language trainer. This gives me a strong understanding of how students form sounds, build sentences, understand language, and become more confident speakers.
For children and teenagers, I can help with American English, accent reduction, phonetics, grammar development, listening comprehension, reading comprehension, speaking practice, vocabulary development, and writing correction. My lessons are best suited for upper intermediate, advanced, and upper advanced learners.
For older students, I can also support business English, colloquial English, interview preparation, legal English, and medical English. My teaching style is patient, detailed, and encouraging. I focus on helping each student speak more clearly, understand English more deeply, and feel proud of their progress.
