Trial lessons will begin with 15 minutes of getting to know each other and addressing learning goals/needs. Then, we’ll do a sample lesson for 15 minutes to see if my courses are a good fit for you. We will use the time to get to know each other and find out how to start improving our English! New students: please book this lesson!

(5 minute break included in lesson time) Each lesson is created by me using my own materials. The lesson has been adapted to guarantee improvement in speaking skills, based off of my experience with students and research in second language acquisition. Develop conversation skills by talking about complex topics and ideas with guiding questions. Improve vocabulary and pronunciation with short guided reading. Improve listening skills by interacting with different media sources. Build confidence in English, learn to express yourself freely by talking about a variety of topics, and see immediate improvement. This is a more casual setting and as we speak, I'll correct any errors.

Guided Conversation

(5 minute break included in lesson time) Each lesson is created by me using my own materials. English for various needs- ie: job interview prep, TOEFL and IELTS help, grammar corrections etc. Students should inform me of goals beforehand, prepare the necessary materials, and I will create a guided course to reach goals. Please inform me of your needs before, so I can prepare appropriately.
