The best online English conversation tutors

IELTS, TOEFL, and General Conversation I was born and raised in the suburbs of New York City. I earned a B.A. in English Literature and Creative Writing from The University of Wisconsin- Madison. For over a decade I worked in the New York Television and Film Industry. My hobbies include watching television and film, reading, cycling, hiking, and traveling. For over a decade I have taught students of all ages and levels. My experience includes, but is not limited to, working as an IELTS teacher in Vietnam, a Conversational English Tutor at The University of Wisconsin- Madison, a New York Public School Substitute Teacher, and a Remedial Grammar teacher at a New York Community College. I believe the student should speak for about 75% of the class time. I genuinely enjoy improving my students' pronunciation. If necessary, I break down the words and syllables to the smallest sounds, so that the students know exactly what they need to improve. I do NOT teach Bu$iness English.

IELTS | Business English | Technical English Whether you want to improve your English for work, prepare for IELTS, or simply communicate more confidently in English, I can help. I teach motivated adult learners from a wide range of professional and academic backgrounds. Lessons are built around your goals and the situations where you use English most. I can help you: - Improve your English for work and professional communication. - Prepare for IELTS. - Prepare to live, work or study in an English-speaking country. - Explain technical or complex ideas clearly in English. Before becoming an English teacher, I worked as an electronics engineer. That experience helps me understand the communication challenges professionals face when working in English, especially when discussing technical subjects or collaborating with international colleagues. Lessons are built around speaking and practical communication. You'll spend your lesson using English rather than talking about it. I'll listen and note what's worth coming back to, and afterwards we'll go over it, so you leave each lesson knowing what to work on next. I have over six years of teaching experience, bachelor's degrees in electronics and mathematics, graduate certificates in English and TESOL, and IELTS teacher training from IDP, an official IELTS partner. Book a trial lesson and tell me what you use English for. We'll discuss your goals, work out your current level, and make a clear plan for what to do next.
