About Me
italki teacher since Mar 6, 2017InterestsReadingTechFilms & TV SeriesWritingMusic
Hello, I'm Jean from Michigan in the USA. I am a Native English speaker, certified to teach English as a second language, Teach Business English, and teach English pronunciation. Over the past 8 years, I've been helping students worldwide to master real-life English—from casual chats to formal business fluency. I've helped them with grammar and American English Pronunciation. Whatever your language learning goals, I'm here to help. I look forward to meeting you.Me as a Teacher
As a teacher, my main goal is to get you speaking as much as possible by introducing new vocabulary, and using it in real time. I will also help you with pronunciation and accent reduction.
Whether you are a beginner, intermediate, or advanced, with a little practice you'll be speaking English in no time! My lessons & teaching style
I try to use a variety of tools. In my experience, learning through context is the most effective way to process and retain language patterns. I will provide you with a contextual learning environment where you can connect what you're learning with the things that you already know!My teaching material

Before her class, I used to panic when speaking English. Now? I still panic… but with better grammar and a smile 😄. Jean somehow makes every session feel like a coffee chat with a friend, the kind who gently corrects you and makes you laugh at your own mistakes (in the nicest way possible).

This was my first lesson on italki, and I really enjoyed it. Jean was kind, patient, and easy to talk to. I felt comfortable throughout the session. Thank you for helping me speak more confidently in English. I'm looking forward to our next lesson!
