English Classes in Washington, DC

Learn to speak. Learn how to learn a language. Free homework correction in between classes. I have six years of experience teaching students of all ages. I am a successful language learner myself, so I understand the process and how to make it easier. My lessons will be a mixture of hyper-focused work and fun. You will speak, speak, speak in every class! I believe that learning a language is as much about what you do outside of class as about what you do in class. To this end, I will help you find materials that you can use to get extra practice outside of class. I would describe myself as laid-back and serious at the same time. I like to have fun in lessons, but I also believe that we can get serious work done while laughing. Note: my preferred communication tool is Zoom. Zoom is the most stable platform with the most tools. You can request another tool if you want, but know that your lesson will be the best on Zoom. I have a pro account, so the lesson will run smoothly. I believe that the most important thing about learning a language is practice: Learning a language is a lot like learning a dance. To master it, you don't need to just study the principles of grammar, you need to practice using structures in context. Each lesson with me will feature guided speaking practice, targeted to train specific grammar structures and vocabulary. My "Lessons for Adults" also include independent work after class and homework correction. If you send me your work 24 hours before class, I will check it before class starts--this way we can use our class time more effectively.

(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!

8+ years Coaching Chinese CEOs, Professionals and Students| 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Consulting|Past COO & fCOO As a VC pitch leader and consultant for Chinese companies operating in the US, I've built my own diagnostic, framework, and methodology specifically for Chinese professionals and students. I'm here to share that with you. Most English coaching drills grammar and vocabulary and misses the real gap: the cultural mindset difference between how Chinese and Americans communicate. Chinese students may pass English exams but still be misunderstood the moment they have to speak. I coach ESI, my English Speaking Identity framework that turns robotic English into confident English for the interviews, pitches, meetings, and conversations where your words shape your future. In one session, you'll see an improvement in your confidence. In the trial lesson, I will give you my diagnostic that I have created to measure the impact, influence and persuasion of your current English level. After the diagnostic, I will send you your detailed results that shows where your English communication falls short and how we can close this gap. I will include your learning plan and timeline. If your English is already at a B2 to C1 level, I will provide you with a Personality Assessment diagnostic (different from the MBTI) that will be the blueprint to developing your expanded English personality. Our sessions will focused on key skills that will improve your work and social life when you have to communicate in English. The key skills we will develop will also be provided after the assessment.
