About Me

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).

Classes with Jean are always engaging because she's a curious person herself and knows how to get you interested. This leads to better interaction and makes learning the language much easier, as it breaks away from the usual school routines in a great way. Thanks, Jean!
