Welcome! I’m Jess, an English teacher and a Professional Development Coach with a strong background in working with professionals across industries.
I have an MBA and I specialize in helping students speak English more clearly and confidently for work and travel.
I teach American English pronunciation (accent reduction), conversation practice, traditional all-around grammar and speaking, and business English.
In addition to coaching, I facilitate Professional Development Coaching sessions. I have a career background in B2B marketing, primarily serving tech companies.
Me as a Teacher
I've been teaching for over 14 years, primarily teaching one-on-one lessons online. I've also taught business English to groups and individuals on-site at corporations.
I focus on conversation skills, American English and pronunciation, and business speaking and presentation skills, but I also have experience teaching traditional all-around English classes focused on reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
My lessons & teaching style
My Business English classes are fully customized and built around current business cases, industry news, and real-world scenarios relevant to your role and sector. Each lesson is designed around your specific goals, challenges, and communication needs, rather than a fixed curriculum, which allows for deeper preparation and more targeted progress.
For conversation-focused sessions, lessons are centered on topics that encourage natural discussion, practical vocabulary, and I focus feedback on frequently repeated or 'urgent' mistakes, helping students improve clarity, confidence, and accuracy.

I think learning English with Jess is the most fun and easy way I've ever learned a language. Our lessons are always full of interesting materials in different formats that fit my level as I progress, and I can literally feel my skills improving. Time just flies, I never get tired while studying, and I even look forward to doing my homework! One of the best teachers ever ⭐️

Teacher Jess is amazing! Time goes by very fast in her class because it is fun and interesting. Sometimes, studying English can be boring, but with her, it is never boring. If I don’t understand something, she explains it in different ways until I get it. Learning with her feels easy, like studying without stress. I have learned a lot from her, and I am very happy and thankful to have her as my teacher.
