IMPORTANT NOTE TO NEW STUDENTS: 1) PRONUNCIATION ONLY! 2) I have come out as transgender (male to female). If you don't want to work with me because of this, then good luck with another teacher. SMALL PRICE INCREASE COMING!
Hi! I'm a TEFL professionally certified English teacher and the host of the YouTube channel "English Hacks". I have 10+ years of experience and have given thousands of one-on-one lessons! I currently only teach accent reduction, which is my specialty, helping B2-C2 level students to sound more American.Me as a Teacher
I specialize in American pronunciation training and accent reduction, as well as language mentoring (learning how to learn a language in the way that works best for you).
Please note that I do not teach beginners, children, or business English. I currently ONLY teach pronunciation/mouth posture.My lessons & teaching style
I am really good at connecting things, and this helps me to teach you better. I definitely understand how scary speaking can be and I am very patient, so you can relax and feel comfortable with me. My philosophy is to be a guide and mentor who is very focused on your needs and interests and who can give you the tools and information that you need in order to succeed as an English speaker. Because of this, I don't have a specific, rigid type of lesson that is too focused on grammar like traditional classes. Instead, I work with you to create the type of lessons and learning plan that best suit you.My teaching material

Great lesson as always. I realized during class that my ears aren’t hearing the subtle differences in quality as well as I thought. But Felicity always gives me clear guidance on what to work on before the next class, which really helps me stay on track.

Great teacher. Her explanations are always clear, and she makes it easy to understand what to focus on after class. You can steadily build on the techniques you already know.

Great lesson, as always!!! Josh and I had an interesting discussion about some learning techniques. He gave me a lot of insightful tips on how to make the most of my studies. Thanks, Josh!!

Felicity gives really honest and accurate feedback. When something’s off, she points it out right away, but when it’s good, she makes sure to encourage me too. When things aren't working, she immediately tells me what’s wrong, why it’s happening, and what I need to work on. Taking her classes, combined with extra practice outside of class, is definitely paying off!

Great teacher. While I still feel I have room to improve in some areas, I’m starting to feel much more comfortable with certain steps. She’s insightful, and If you’re looking to reduce your accent, she’s hands-down the best teacher.
