One-to-one Tutoring and Coaching

We have been tutoring and coaching international professionals and advanced English learners towards their goals since 2009. This is our most customized and collaborative experience and a great option if your needs are specialized or you need help determining what to focus on to meet your goals.

We start with a free one-hour virtual consultation where we talk about your previous experience with English, your current situation, and your vision for your ‘ideal English self.’ After the consultation and assessment, we identify your biggest English communication challenges together and create and customize a course plan to fit your needs.

Typical goals for tutoring and coaching include:

• Conversational fluency and vocabulary development
• Speaking with confidence
• Assessing and improving pronunciation if needed (Is it really your accent?)
• Grammar review for spoken and written accuracy (We all have gaps we just weren’t taught the first time around!)
• Writing analysis and improvement
• Listening improvement strategies for a variety of speakers/situations
• Mastering presentations in English, especially for the new virtual work environment
• Adapting your resume/CV for the U.S. market
• Effectively preparing for job interviews
• Analyzing and improving workplace communication
• Passing the IELTS or TOEFL for graduate school admissions
• Finally feeling like your best self in English!

We meet via Zoom or WebEx. Homework and practice activities are assigned in between sessions. We decide together how often you can meet each week and how much work to assign between sessions. Scheduling is flexible when possible and we pause lessons if you are traveling or unavailable.

Online tutorial/coaching sessions: US $85.00 - $95.00/hour depending upon level of specialization and how often we meet.
