My lessons focus on communication that connects: pronunciation, public speaking, and everyday fluency. You’ll learn how to speak clearly, use natural rhythm and stress, and express your ideas with confidence and impact.Me as a Teacher

She is so kind and funny teacher. So I didn’t hesitate to explain my opinions at her class. Also she is so supportive to make sentences in English when my expressions are wrong.

I took several lessons to improve my pronunciation, and they were really helpful. We went over the main pronunciation rules and practiced applying them, and I learned a lot of new things. The teacher is very friendly and gives great feedback. Highly recommended!
