This trial lesson is not just a “get to know you” chat. It’s a guided introduction to your English journey with me and The Immersion Studio. In 30 minutes, we’ll:

     - Explore your goals, background, and experiences with English.

     - Identify your strengths and the obstacles keeping you from feeling fluent.

     - Experience a short sample activity so you can see how I teach and how The Fluent Framework works in practice.

     - Finish with a personalized Fluency Road Map — a plan with recommended lesson tracks, focus areas, and next steps.

You’ll leave this session with clarity about your English, a fresh sense of direction, and practical takeaways you can use right away.

Why book a trial?

Many students waste time bouncing between teachers, unsure if they’re actually making progress. My trial is designed to be different — it’s not about testing me, it’s about discovering whether this approach resonates with you. Even if you decide not to continue, you’ll still walk away with a clearer understanding of your English journey.

These lessons are guided conversations about how language shapes the way you live, think, and see yourself. Instead of focusing on grammar drills, we’ll explore themes like identity, emotion, memory, and confidence while practicing natural, fluent English expression.

In *Language Reflections*, the emphasis is on depth rather than speed. You’ll be invited to share personal insights and stories, while I help shape your English so your ideas come through clearly and confidently. Topics may include how English changes your personality, why silence in conversation feels different across cultures, or how mistakes can become tools for growth.

This track is ideal for reflective learners who want to practice speaking while also learning more about themselves through English. Every session is a balance of expression and exploration — you’ll leave with new vocabulary, a stronger voice, and a clearer sense of how English fits into your life.

🧐 Language Reflections

In these lessons, we use cultural curiosities as a doorway to better language. Each session focuses on one theme — like why Americans smile, how people express politeness, or what silence means in different cultures — while giving you practical phrases and confidence to join real conversations.

Culture Capsules* help you understand not just *what to say*, but *why people say it that way*. Together we’ll unpack the cultural values hidden inside everyday communication: smiles, humor, hospitality, body language, and more. You’ll see how words and culture are inseparable, and how noticing these connections makes your English more natural.

This track is perfect if you want to travel, study, or live abroad and need more than grammar to succeed. You’ll leave with real expressions, cultural insights, and the confidence to connect with people, not just “speak correctly.”

🇺🇸🌎 Culture Capsules

Each lesson gives you a bank of natural expressions around one theme — like love, confidence, stress, or success. You’ll learn idioms, phrases, and ways of speaking that native speakers actually use, then practice weaving them into your own conversations.

In *Vocabulary Deep Dives*, we go far beyond textbook lists. Each theme is universal, so you can connect it to your own life right away — whether it’s “burnout,” “intuition,” “friendship,” or “growth.” We explore real English, the kind you’ll hear in movies, music, and daily conversations, and I’ll help you practice until it feels natural.

These sessions are great for learners who feel they already know the basics but want to sound more expressive and authentic. You’ll walk away from each class with ready-to-use language that expands your fluency in meaningful, memorable ways.

🤿📋 Vocabulary Deep Dive

These lessons zoom in on one small but powerful skill — like keeping a conversation going, telling a good story, or ending a chat politely. Each class is practical, focused, and gives you tools you can use in your very next conversation.

The *Micro-Skills Spotlight* is about fluency in action. Instead of studying language in theory, you’ll practice how to use English naturally in real-life situations. We’ll work through roleplays, examples, and strategies for handling everyday challenges like interrupting politely, asking better questions, or managing awkward pauses.

This track is designed for learners who want quick results. You’ll still learn vocabulary and expressions, but always tied to a specific skill. After each lesson, you’ll know not only *what* to say but *how* to say it smoothly, with confidence and ease.

🕵🏾‍♂️💪🏾 Micro-Skills Spotlight

Through this 120 hour TESOL course, I learned the basics of linguistics, strategies that would help me use a student’s primary language to teach them a new language, and how to motivate students who are new to the English language.

As a high school student, I was dual-enrolled in a college, allowing me to earn college credits and complete a college degree by the time I was 18 years old.

For two years, prior to receiving a professional English teaching certificate, I worked as a tutor for students at the local community college who acquired English as a second language.  We focused mainly on academic English - grammar concepts and improving our conversation skills.  I had the opportunity to work with a wide variety of students from different backgrounds, though the majority of my students spoke Spanish as their native language

For four years, I worked as a private ESL tutor for adults who were moving from other countries to the United States for education and secular work opportunities.  Many of these ones had a basic level of English, so to assist them with the transition to a new country, they were assigned to work with a tutor to improve their skills in basic communication and pronunciation.
