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. 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. Whatever your language learning goals, I'm here to help. I look forward to meeting you.
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!
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!

Conversation sessions with Jean are truly effective: her sincere interest in every topic creates such a relaxed atmosphere that learning becomes natural. Thanks to her listening skills and authentic dialogue, you end up acquiring new vocabulary and idioms just by following the flow of the conversation. It doesn't feel like a lesson, but rather a stimulating conversation that enriches your language. Thank you so much, Jean!
