Introverted & Shy Business Professionals; Organized lessons with a relaxed atmosphere Are you a shy or introverted business professional? Are you overwhelmed or terrified to speak English even though you understand a lot of what you hear? I am an introvert and I understand exactly how you feel. Sometimes you feel pressure to speak quickly and clearly in the workplace but when you’re learning a language that isn’t easy. Since I know how hard it is to speak to new people in *any* language, I never pressure my students to give quick answers. I know you need time to think. I know you need time to choose your words. Don't know what to talk about? It's okay. I use lists with questions about everyday topics or business English podcasts with transcripts to guide our conversations. I am a certified TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) teacher. I completed a 168-hour Teaching Qualifications UK Level 5 course by The TEFL Academy in the UK which emphasized using the communicative method and teaching in context. I can be of special help to business professionals who are natives of Spanish, French, Croatian, Serbian, and Italian because I speak/study these languages myself. I also give my students access to a growing list of learning resources and methods they can use to improve their English on their own. If you are serious, you must develop all four skills and you must do a lot of this work on your own. I can help you find the tools and techniques to do this. I focus on adult students with long-term goals and who seek regular practice. *No traditional gra...

Abby is a wonderful teacher, super organized, and I always feel excited when we talk about different topics. Before every session she prepares a Google Doc and sends it to me, full of useful structures, words, and expressions. During class she notes my mistakes and shows me how to rephrase my sentences to sound more natural and native. I've had eight classes with her so far and I hope she never stops teaching! Highly recommend.

Abby 是我目前遇到过最优秀的英语老师之一。我从去年十月开始跟她学习,一开始只是想解决自己不太敢公开演讲的问题,但慢慢发现,上她的课不只是练语言,更像是在一个很安全的环境里一点点建立自信。 她在第一节课前就很认真地了解我的情况,还帮我把学习方向理清楚。之后每节课都会提前准备好内容,而且不会死板地按计划走,会根据我的状态随时调整,所以每次上课都不会有压力。 对我来说很加分的一点是,她真的很在意学生本身。在我有点迷茫的时候,比如职业选择或者生活中的其他问题,她会很耐心地倾听,也会给出一些很中肯的建议,并且尽她所能去支持我。当我尝试新的事情或者有一点进步时,她也会很真诚地鼓励你,替你开心。 如果你本身比较内向、容易紧张,或者一直想开口但迈不出第一步,我会很推荐试一下她的课。不会有压力,但会在不知不觉中慢慢变得更敢表达。

I started having lessons with Abby before I began working in the U.S., and they've been super helpful. After talking about my goals and situation, she prepared customized lesson materials for me. We did about fifteen lessons using them and the they were exactly what I needed. She provided lesson notes in Google Docs so that I can review them later. I'd recommend her to anyone who wants to improve their English, especially those who have specific needs or goals. I'm looking forward to our future lessons. Thanks Abby!
