Hi, I specialize in improving American English accents & pronunciation for work, presentations & education goals. I teach how to consciously relax as part of the lessons (if you want,) science shows we speak better & more fluidly when relaxed. 私は日本人の学生と一緒に仕事を楽しんでいます！我喜欢与中国学生一起工作！ Please be an A2 Level English or above. Unsure of your level? Go here: https://www.efset.org/cefr/b1/. 私は日本人の学生と一緒に仕事を楽しんでいます！ I love learning about other countries & cultures. I'm a native English speaker & a former professor of fine art. Formerly I worked at the famed Museum of Modern Art, in NYC, U.S. I also love Italy and have visited twice.

Me as a Teacher

I was the first in my family to attend college! Learning English opens so many opportunities for you, so I understand your desire to master it! I will do everything I can to help you learn to relax (see my background ) and have fun so the words will flow more easily. You will learn, how to speak with more ease especially if you get very nervous. First and foremost, I am creative. So I like solving problems and finding ways that work for you as an individual. I wouldn't want you to be like many academic students who have perfect grammar but cannot actually communicate.

My lessons & teaching style

*Please no children (16 & over is fine.) I know how you feel, as I'm now learning an new language- Italian. And after hard times learning language only from school; I now understand language learning much better. I am trained in meditation & mindfulness. One- unlike in a classroom we need to feel relaxed and have fun in order to learn easily. I also think it's important to learn with a focus on what the person really is interested in. So if there are topics, books or Youtube videos you like we can work with that. So I strive to make it playful so your stress level doesn't rise, perfectionism can hold us back.

I really enjoyed the class, and I'm excited to have much more classes with Vivinne, and learn more about American culture and also get in touch with different life's experiences.

Tuve mi primera clase de prueba y fue una excelente experiencia. La profesora es muy atenta, explica con claridad y sus correcciones y aportes son oportunos. Hace que la clase fluya de forma natural, sin tensión, y transmite mucha confianza. Además, me dio consejos útiles para mejorar. Sin duda la recomiendo y continuaré tomando clases con ella.
