Patient, Structured English Lessons for Adults | Beginner to Advanced Hi, I’m Marion, a native English speaker from the United States and a Level 5 TEFL-certified English communication coach. I help adults speak more clearly, naturally, and confidently. Some of my students are complete beginners. Others already speak English but struggle to find the right words, organize their thoughts, or feel confident during conversations and professional situations. My lessons can help you with: • Beginner English and essential sentence structure • Natural conversation and everyday vocabulary • Pronunciation, rhythm, and speaking clarity • Professional meetings and presentations • Interviews and confident workplace communication • Grammar correction during real conversation My teaching style is patient, practical, and structured. I provide helpful corrections, explain patterns clearly, and create activities based on your level and goals. With my background in corporate leadership, mentoring, coaching, and adult education, I understand that strong communication involves more than grammar. We can also work on organizing your ideas, answering questions confidently, and expressing yourself without overthinking every sentence. During your trial lesson, we will discuss your goals, identify your strongest areas and challenges, and decide which lesson format will help you make progress. Book a trial lesson, and let’s build English that you can use confidently in real life.

A linguist, polyglot and experienced ESL instructor ready to help you. I earned my undergraduate degree in Applied Linguistics and TEFL certification from Portland State University when I graduate in 2022. Since then, I have worked as an ESL teacher in a small non-profit here in Portland. I have taught private students and group classes for adults and children. Every learner has different needs and ways of learning - I work with students to identify their strengths and weaknesses, design lessons or practice around these, and help learners improve their capabilities with a variety of exercises.

I'd love to help you succeed on your language-learning journey! I'm Russian-American by birth, but have lived abroad and studied many foreign languages as a personal interest such as Korean as part of a study abroad program, Arabic during my Bacherlor's degree in Italy, and Norwegian to better connect with my ancestry. I particularly enjoy striving to learn a new language in order to be able to read books in the original version. I also enjoy history podcasts, foreign films and spending time with my family. As a teacher, I aim to prioritize each student's individual goals and needs in helping them improve in a language. I do my best to help the student find a way of learning that best suits their specific style and personality and that allows them to see results and enjoy the process while maintaining realistic expectations. I want to see everyone succeed and be satisfied with themselves for the effort and time they've invested on their language learning journey! I don't have one set way of teaching. Rather, I try to figure out what approach would work best with each individual based on what their goals are. I prioritize pronunciation and a strong foundation in basic grammatical concepts as two things that you can build upon confidently. My goal is for our time spent together to be fruitful and satisfying.

I teach students from 5 y/o and up. Although I live abroad, I am closely engaged in my cultural roots. I traveled to all four corners of China to conduct cultural anthropological studies from 2006 to 2013. I studied the current & seemingly Western-stylized artifacts & practices, addressed the ideas of practice rooted in the traditional Chinese characteristics, beliefs & ancient art. My goal is to help you successfully transition between the Western & Chinese ways of the world linguistically & culturally. 我從六歲䦕始學毛筆字和山水畫, 後來在美國的大學裏敎了十五多年西方人文和語言. 虽然我住在外国，但我仍然密切关注自己的文化根源。 2006至2013年我在中国各个角落进行文化人类学研究。所以我对中西的語言和文化是精通的. 我的專業和熱情是幫助您在中西生活方式上成功的转换. I have traveled to 27 countries and am excited to meet people from all backgrounds!!

Conversational American English and academic writing Hi, my name is Nico and I'm an English teacher from Portland, Oregon, USA. I've been teaching English for about three years, helping students with conversational American English and academic and professional writing. I have a neutral American accent and years of experience writing and grading academic papers at the university level. I'm also a language learner myself, so I understand how it feels and what actually helps. Each lesson is tailored to your goals and interests, built around a conversational approach. I start with a quick review of the previous lesson and a clear focus for the day. Afterwards I can send a summary, notes, and personalized resources for further study. With experience teaching students from all around the world, I've developed a solid collection of study resources, vocabulary and phrases by topic, and a clear sense of what makes lesson time well spent.

I have a bachelor's degree from NYU. I graduated in 2014 with a major in Dramatic Writing. I also have a 120-hour TEFL-teaching certificate. I like to use storytelling in my lessons. I think this makes learning English more fun :) In our first session, I will start by getting to know you. We can talk about your goals, challenges, or just hobbies and interests. Once I understand you better, I can customize your lessons. This might involve writing activities, roleplay exercises, or introducing new vocabulary. Book a trial and let's chat!

I continue to enjoy helping close friends improve their English writing and speaking, especially when preparing essays and presentations.

* Casual * Relaxed * Patient * Fun * Informative * Supportive I believe that trial and error play a big part in learning a new language. Maybe the most fearless students learn the fastest. I know that is something I need to get over myself in my desire to learn to speak Japanese. I don't like getting it wrong. However, getting it wrong won't matter if I don't at least try. Let's work together and overcome our concerns of not being perfect and grow in our confidence to communicate in the English language. I would love to assist you with that endeavor.

I believe in building confidence through practice and encouragement.

Learn ENGLISH with a TESOL & TEFL certified Native English Teacher. I've worked with all ages , including young children so I am patient & understanding. I remember what it was like as a student trying to learn different languages, sometimes I felt overwhelmed. I like to introduce things to students at a pace that feels right for them. I always follow up with an exercise to ensure that they are retaining just as much as they are consuming. I have several years' experience teaching online so I understand that teaching virtually can be challenging to maintaining one's attention. Rather than "lecture-style" I like to present an outline of topics to introduce, then begin with a warm up and ask the student questions with ways to engage them right from the onset!
