Hi, I specialize in improving American English accents & pronunciation for work, presentations & education goals. I teach how to consciously relax as part of the lessons (if you want,) science shows we speak better when relaxed.
Please be an A2 Level English or above. Unsure of your level? Go here: https://www.efset.org/cefr/b1/.
I love learning about other countries & cultures. I'm a native English speaker & a former professor of fine art. Formerly I worked at the famed Museum of Modern Art, in NYC, U.S.
I also love Italy and have visited twice.Me as a Teacher
I was the first in my family to attend college! Learning English opens so many opportunities for you, so I understand your desire to master it!
I will do everything I can to help you learn to relax (see my background ) and have fun so the words will flow more easily. You will learn, how to speak with more ease especially if you get very nervous.
First and foremost, I am creative. So I like solving problems and finding ways that work for you as an individual. I wouldn't want you to be like many academic students who have perfect grammar but cannot actually communicate.My lessons & teaching style
*Please no children (16 & over is fine.)
I know how you feel, as I'm now learning an new language- Italian. And after hard times learning language only from school; I now understand language learning much better. I am trained in meditation & mindfulness.
One- unlike in a classroom we need to feel relaxed and have fun in order to learn easily.
I also think it's important to learn with a focus on what the person really is interested in. So if there are topics, books or Youtube videos you like we can work with that.
So I strive to make it playful so your stress level doesn't rise, perfectionism can hold us back.My teaching material

I really enjoyed the class, and I'm excited to have much more classes with Vivinne, and learn more about American culture and also get in touch with different life's experiences.

Prof. Viv not only helps you with English pronunciation, but also shares real life experiences that make the class interesting and thought provoking. Thank you!

Viv was a truly wonderful teacher! She helped me with a doubt I had on the adverbs (which is a tricky subject), and she’s really willing to guide you. She focuses on a key part of English learning, which is just to let loose, speak it as you can and lose the fear of making mistakes, because she’ll help you on how to speak it properly and make yourself clear and understandable. We had some tech issues from my side, but Viv quickly handled them and we were back online in no time; she cares that you can see her and hear her perfectly (and viceversa of course). Viv, you’re the sweetest English teacher and you made sure I learned to have a good speech flow, thank you so much (:
