About me
Pronunciation, rhythm, and confidence are central parts of effective English communication. My lessons are designed for learners who want to sound clearer, speak more naturally, and feel more comfortable using English in real conversations.
I am an English teacher from the United States with several years of experience helping students improve their speaking skills. I have worked as an English camp instructor, English teacher, and group work teacher, including experience teaching children and supporting learners from different language backgrounds. My own interest in languages also helps me understand the challenges students face when learning to speak another language.
My classes are especially useful for intermediate, upper intermediate, advanced, and upper advanced learners. I focus on American English, with lesson areas including accent reduction, phonetics, speaking practice, colloquial English, and interview preparation. For students who want to improve pronunciation, I pay attention to sound patterns, stress, rhythm, and the small details that make spoken English easier to understand.
Lessons are practical, supportive, and conversation-based. Whether you want to prepare for interviews, speak more naturally in daily life, or improve your American English pronunciation, my goal is to help you build clear, confident, and expressive communication.
