Me as a Teacher
All lessons are customized to meet the unique needs of the individual student. After an assessment is completed the student and teacher will collaborate together to create a 6-month learning plan designed to take the student to the next level of their language journey with an eye on helping students achieve their personal and professional language goals.
I used a structured curriculum based on the CEFR standard and utilize assessment tools to determine students' current level and any knowledge gaps that may exist.
I encourage students to learn by doing and to embrace the notion that making mistakes is part of finding success. I strive to provide students with ample time for output.My lessons & teaching style

I've been working with Allen for several months and I am still amazed by his professional level and attention to the details he is paying during our lessons. He is not only able to explain the norms of English, he offers the set of professional tools to work with in order to improve your language level. This includes the set of web lessons, AI-based engine for practice and assessment even when you are not in session. Allen has strong professional background, which allows him to explain in the details how any particular sound is made when we speak because everything matters: tongue position, lips, intonation. Usually I am able to find correct sound after his first explanation after trying to find it myself for long time. So Allen is going far beyond of what I could desire when it comes to real work with one's accent. Absolutely worth it. In addition, he is just a nice person with great manners.

Concerning "Rhythm, Intonation, and More" Wonderful NEW course/lesson. Allen teaches (and/or coaches) with such a passion that gets you utterly engaged in everything he does. I'd say a wonderful complement to the "Pronunciation Course".
