Conversational English
Say goodbye to hesitation! In this class, you’ll speak often while I help refine your grammar, pronunciation, and natural flow. We’ll focus on real-life conversation so you can feel confident speaking English anywhere — with friends, colleagues, or strangers.
Reading Practice:
We’ll read articles suited to your level. You’ll build vocabulary, sharpen pronunciation, and improve fluency by reading aloud, discussing content, and learning in context.
Public Speaking:
Get ready for presentations with guidance on structure, delivery, and confidence. Perfect for business, school, or interviews — learn to speak clearly and make a strong impression.My teaching material
