(Please see "About Me" section) My native language is Korean and I learned English as I live in the US. Learning a language is not just about knowing how to read, write or speak, but to embrace the culture and the history. I think of it as a long journey or a marathon, but while having lots of fun along the way. Just as a journey or a marathon has a destination and a finish line, we do need consistency and endurance as well as short and long-term goals. Everyone is unique - that makes this journey or marathon interesting!

CELTA-Certified English Teacher | Practical English for Work, Life & Conversation Hi! I'm Venessa, a CELTA-certified English teacher and experienced writing educator from the United States. I work primarily with adult learners and love helping people become more confident and effective communicators in English. My professional background is in writing, editing, publishing, and adult education. I've spent more than 15 years working with authors and teaching writing, and I've worked with people from a wide range of backgrounds and experience levels.

Maybe you want to feel more comfortable having everyday conversations, improve your grammar and vocabulary, or communicate more confidently at work. We can work on presentations, meetings, emails, interviews, or simply speaking more naturally in English. I like lessons to be practical, relaxed, and collaborative. I'll give you clear, friendly feedback and help you understand not just what's correct, but why it works.

Teacher from West Hollywood Hi everyone! I’m an English teacher from West Hollywood in Los Angeles with 14 years of experience teaching in the US, Thailand, and Vietnam. I hold a TESOL certificate and love connecting with students from all over the world. I’m passionate about current events, culture, movies, and music.

Stop Translating in Your Head | Speak Natural American English You know more English than you can actually use. Maybe you know the rules, and you probably know way more vocabulary than you think. But when it’s time to speak, you translate in your head, hesitate, forget words you already know, or just don’t sound as natural as you want to. That becomes what we work on. My lessons are built around real conversation. We’ll talk about things you actually care about while I pay attention to what’s slowing you down. I work one-on-one with students from around the world, and I’ve learned pretty quickly that everyone gets stuck in different places. I’ll give you better ways to say things, useful phrases and chunks you can actually reuse, and targeted drills or role-plays when you need them. Then we bring it right back into conversation so you’re not just learning English — you’re actually using it. No random grammar lessons just for the sake of studying grammar. No copy-and-paste curriculum for every student. Your English tells us what to work on. The goal is simple: speak with less hesitation, express yourself more naturally, and actually use the English you already know. You’ve already spent enough time studying English. Come use it.

I can help you achieve English fluency by improving your grammar, refining your pronunciation and prosody, and expanding your vocabulary. I have completed a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, graduate study in Education, and a CELTA certification program which is considered the highest qualification for teaching English. While I am new to Italki, I am not new to teaching; I have taught over 400 English classes to adult learners. I also have decades of experience in corporate communications for leading global companies like Microsoft, Alaska Airlines, and a FAANG company. Accordingly, I am able to teach adults how to communicate with clarity and professionalism in interviews and at work. My English classes are customized to the learning style of each student. We discuss the topics that interest them, whether that is work or their personal interests, such as travel, art, or music. I help them develop an English-speaking style that is natural and appropriate for the environment in which they live, work, or study. My teaching style is professional and focused, but also light-hearted, encouraging, and warm. This is because I believe that learning English with a teacher should be a positive experience. I do my best to keep my Italki calendar up to date for the current week, but, as it changes quickly, it can sometimes be out of date. I will work with you to align on a day and time. Thank you for your time and interest.
