Let's try a class together to find out your speaking, writing, pronunciation, or grammar goals in English!

Here is a video on one of the most important concepts of pronunciation, placement: https://youtu.be/bLzqby2Um0M

*Note: This requires downloading the messenger app, Telegram*

Welcome to our pronunciation group on Telegram! Every day, I post a group of words/sounds to say. You can reply with your own audio to get feedback from me and my assistant, LeNora. This is perfect for people who want to practice their pronunciation a little bit every day.

Find out more about what the group is like here: https://youtu.be/FDwPuwstUEo

1-MONTH Of Pronunciation Telegram Group

For students who mostly want to study/perfect their American accent/pronunciation. 
Here is an example of one of the most important concepts, placement: https://youtu.be/bLzqby2Um0M

We will cover pronunciation topics that most pronunciation teachers do not cover, but that will completely change your approach to accents.

I also have a pronunciation livestream every single Saturday where you can send in a pronunciation file and get feedback! Check out and example here if it interests you: https://youtu.be/5ZncTZSlVuU

Within 5 classes, we can go over the majority of vowel and consonant sounds. After that, we can discuss intonation, linking, and informal speech structures.

1-on-1 Pronunciation/Accent Class

Too busy for class? Want someone to check your writing? Send me an essay through skype or email and I'll make corrections for grammar, vocabulary, cohesion, logic, and style. 

See examples of my writing corrections here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLlZ0dlSbrSXhhggCdRTWLKyqrugDQ09s3

*Please note that we will not meet over video; this is only for editing purposes.*

Choose a 30-minute class for anything under 400 words (for example, a task 1 and a task 2 for IELTS). Choose a 1 hour class for under 800 words.

Offline Editing

Thanks so much for checking out my services! This first session is a chance for us to get to know each other, answer questions, and create a plan of study for you. You can also get more familiar with me at www.youtube.com/fluentamerican

 **Please note: this lesson will not provide services like potential IELTS scores, in-depth writing analysis, or detailed feedback on grammar/vocab/pronunciation. Students may only select this option once**

Specifically, we will:

- Go over what your personal goals are for your English

- Discuss why you are studying English

- Create a study plan that you can use in the future

- Review study strategies and techniques for improving writing, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar, or speaking--depending on your area of focus

- Answer any questions you have

30 minutes is generally plenty to cover these topics! The hour option is only to handle any questions we cannot cover and may end early if all questions are answered.

If you have any additional questions about this class, please send me a message!

Owner/Director & English Language Teacher

As a graduate of both Brown and Harvard University and a professional writer for many years, I have lots of experience in both academic and technical writing. I also have a recent Masters in Teaching ESL (with a 4.0 GPA) and years of teaching university-level ESL academic writing classes. I have worked with students at all levels of writing ... from basic sentence construction to research papers. In this class, I would use your writing sample to assess your proficiency and then set up a series of lessons to advance your skills to meet your goals. This course would include independent writing assignments and my assessment of your writing outside of class time.

I also do independent proofreading and editing for my students, so please message me for more information about that service.

Academic Writing

Hi, my name is Hilary and I can help you prepare for TOEFL iBT Speaking. I’ve worked for TEN YEARS as a rater for TOEFL Speaking. In those ten years, I’ve heard literally thousands and thousands of test-takers answering hundreds of questions. I know this test inside and out. I know what test-takers should say and what they shouldn’t say. And unfortunately, I’ve learned that many test-takers either aren’t prepared for the test or they’ve prepared the wrong way. Either way, they end up with a lower speaking score than they should.

Many teachers and websites just GUESS what's on the test, how raters evaluate responses, and which way you should answer questions to get the best score. But guessing isn't good enough. I KNOW how you should answer these questions.

I highly recommend that you take at least five lessons with me if you really want to improve your score. I can give you a deeper understanding of the test, explain how you should answer each question, and dispel any misunderstandings you may have about TOEFL iBT Speaking. I can evaluate your current abilities accurately and pinpoint your problem areas. And I can help you to make your answers more coherent, fluent, and on-topic. 

The TOEFL really is a test of English fluency, and fluency can’t be achieved overnight, or even in a few months. My goal is to give you an honest and accurate assessment of where you’re currently at, and then give you an detailed road map to achieving your speaking fluency objectives. I’ll give you the tools you need to make sure you’re making headway and going in the right direction. 

How soon you get to your dream score depends on where you’re starting from and how hard you work to achieve your goal. If this is a journey you need to make, let’s work as partners to make it happen.

TOEFL iBT Speaking

As a graduate of both Brown and Harvard University and a professional writer for many years, I have lots of experience in both academic and technical writing. I also have a recent Masters in Teaching ESL (with a 4.0 GPA) and years of teaching university-level ESL writing and grammar classes.

As a TOEFL iBT Speaking Rater for the past SIX years, I have learned that many of the mistakes test-takers make with speaking also crop up in the independent essay. Based on numerous discussions with a colleague who formerly rated TOEFL iBT Writing, I've developed strategies to help you get a better score in both the independent AND integrated writing tasks. 

Each of the two writing tasks requires quite different strategies and skill sets. By evaluating your essays, I can help you to figure out what issues are lowering your score and how to fix them. 

Whether you need help with the independent, integrated, or both writing tasks, I can help you organize your response more coherently, communicate your ideas more clearly, and finally achieve your dream score!

TOEFL iBT Writing

If you are a goal-oriented person like me, you may want more structure from your lessons than "just conversation." Conversation is fantastic for building fluency, but "just conversation" can seem kind of unfocused and directionless. You may not feel you're making the progress you'd like.

As a classroom teacher at a university Intensive English Program, I am used to guiding students of various levels in all language skills ... listening, speaking, writing, reading, grammar, and vocabulary. Classroom teachers conduct their classes with established course objectives, a structured syllabus, regular assessments, and teaching materials such as textbooks and online resources.

In this course, we'll replicate this classroom model while enjoying the benefits of one-on-one teaching and individualized instruction!

During our first lesson, we'll talk about your current situation and your learning goals, as well as the amount of time you have available to work on your English ... both on your own and in lessons. If you want to use a textbook or online materials as a "springboard" to develop your fluency, I can make recommendations. 

Most importantly, we'll work together as partners to help you achieve your language learning goals as efficiently and effectively as possible. And, hopefully, have fun doing it!

LEGAL/LAW CLASS ~ ALSO MEDICINE CLASS: HOW TO TRANSFER AND BECOME A DOCTOR IN THE UNITED STATES OR IN AN ENGLISH-SPEAKING COUNTRY

How should you learn legal English?
Law schools usually provide reading lists for their students, including books and articles they are expected to read. If your interest is professional, you should start here with me. I would advise you not to begin with simple vocabulary lists, as they lack context. It is very important to understand how legal terms are used in real situations, and this knowledge can best be acquired by reading authentic legal texts that incorporate the words you want to master.

If you find such texts difficult, you might want to start by reading legal mystery novels, such as those by John Grisham. They are entertaining and will help you become familiar with the most commonly used legal terms.

Below, you will find a general list of terms that, although not presented in context, will help you recognize how these words are applied in practice. As a representative at the negotiating tables of the United States government in international academic contexts, I have developed advanced skills regarding the legal environment.

You never expect to have run-ins with the law while traveling; however, they do happen from time to time. Oftentimes, mix-ups with the law while visiting foreign countries come from simple misunderstandings of laws and customs that can easily be resolved with a smile and a sincere apology. Nevertheless, it’s a good idea to add some basic legal vocabulary and expressions to your Spanish repertoire before you set out. Keep this list handy during your travels, as it can help you sound respectful, knowledgeable, and cooperative in Spanish when addressing law enforcement.

In these lessons, you will learn legal vocabulary and gain an understanding of Spanish law. This course is aimed at lawyers and law students who would like to become familiar with the Spanish legal system.
