💼 I help professionals use the English they already know to perform better in real conversations, especially in meetings. And we have FUN in the process! 😄
Many professionals understand English, but when it's time to speak, they:
• hesitate
• overthink
• don’t express their ideas clearly
This is not a knowledge problem, it’s a real-time speaking problem.
🗣️ I focus on training you how you speak in the moment so you can respond more clearly, organize your ideas, and communicate more effectively.
👨🎓 With a doctorate in leadership and 40+ years teaching (9 years coaching professionals in English), I blend academic rigor with real-world knowledge from running my own consulting firm.教学经验
🎯 A Practical, Results-Focused Approach
I help you improve how you communicate in English so you can speak more clearly, organize your ideas, and perform more effectively in real situations.

• real workplace communication
• practical language you actually use

I’m having a very good experience with a one-week immersion program on italki with Dr. Rod. In just a few days, I feel more confident and more comfortable speaking English. The main focus is speaking, with very little grammar, which makes it simple and very practical. The classes are supportive and help me speak without fear. I really recommend this program if you want to improve your speaking fast.

Learning English with Rod through personal conversational sessions has been an absolute blast for my English language level. Over 100 lessons, his stress-free approach and individualized guidance have taken my language skills to the next level.
During our engaging conversations, Rod creates a relaxed and friendly environment that boosts my confidence and removes any fear or hesitation when expressing myself in English. With his support, I've been able to apply my newfound vocabulary and grammar skills effectively in practical, real-life scenarios.
Rod's personalized approach and patience have been instrumental in my progress and ongoing motivation. He tailors each lesson to meet my specific needs and goals, ensuring that the learning experience remains impactful and relevant.
I highly recommend Rod's sessions to anyone seeking to rock their English skills while continuing to grow and thrive.

I started conversation lessons with Rod to maintain and improve my English.
I requested him to engage in conversations with me, correct my mistakes when he notices them, and help me choose topics.
He has a quality that makes me feel very comfortable talking to him, so I spend most of the lesson speaking rather than listening.
Of course, he always responds by sharing his opinions, telling his experiences, or correcting my English, so I can practice both speaking and listening skills.
I'm very satisfied with the lessons. They are helping me so that the words come more easily when I need to speak.

An outstanding teacher. Every class is very engaging and focused on real conversation, which helps me practice speaking naturally and with confidence. He constantly encourages me to express my ideas and improves my understanding of English in a very practical way. He also shares useful materials that help me continue learning outside the lessons. I highly recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their speaking skills.
