🗝 🌐 Here to help YOU become the speaker you’ve always wanted to be! 🌐 🗝
Even after 13 years teaching ESL, I can still say I’m excited to go to work every day! Both as a teacher and as a human being, I’m always looking for ways to become a better version of myself — and I LOVE helping my students on their quests to do the same thing.
One of my greatest passions outside of work is music. As an amateur but enthusiastic singer/songwriter, I love working with musicians who want to improve their sound!Me as a Teacher
My approach to teaching and coaching is consistently student-centered. Each student is different, so my role as an Accent Coach is different with each student, too!
I love the freedom of getting to know my students one-to-one. Understanding who someone is as a person helps me understand how I can help as a coach. I’m constantly adapting session activities and techniques to support each student’s own unique goals, learning styles, and preferred pace of study.
I’m also sensitive to people’s feelings and attitudes, so I’m usually quite good at knowing when to challenge a student to work harder — and when it’s better to relax the mood a bit.My lessons & teaching style
In sessions with me, you can expect a flexible, non-judgmental environment where you are free to make mistakes, try again, ask questions, and go at your own pace. Think of me as your coach. I'm here to help you develop and practice strategies that fit your unique challenges and strengths in mastering English.
We will begin by identifying what you want from your learning experience, and we will communicate regularly to make sure that we are always on the right track.
I specialize in Accent Training and Speech Improvement! I use proven methods and step-by-step materials to help you systematically develop each sound and skill that you wish to strengthen.My teaching material

I had been working on the specific goal for the last 3 months and finally passed the line I aimed at. This achievement could not be completed without you, Natalie. I am so lucky to come across you on italki. My English pronunciation improved drastically after I took your lessons. I really like and trust your teaching style and yourself. I will move on to the next goal but I believe I can do that with you, Natalie. Thank you always for helping me a lot. I will try my best to get your comliments. See you next week.

Natalie is the most professional and responsible teacher I've ever seen. She really wants her students to become better at pronunciation. I started recognizing more sounds that I couldn't hear before, and my speech became clearer.
