About me

You can learn quickly when you are interested in the subject matter!

I am currently employing new methods of conversational coaching for English learners.

It's easier to practice English when you enjoy the conversation.

There are several ways to engage in the process:

• Free Flowing Conversation about almost anything!

 • You choose an English language song, poetry, video, movie or podcast to have a conversation about. Take notes considering content and interpretation, and then tell me about your experience. If you desire gentle correction in grammer, syntax or pronunciation, I'm happy to help You!

• Conversational English with TED.com - this method works!  

(for intermediate and advanced English students)

Choose an interesting TED talk (http://www.ted.com/) and prepare to tell me about it when we meet.

1) Listen to different English accents and improve your listening skills.

2) Read the subtitles or the interactive transcript and improve your vocabulary.

3) Tell me about the talk and improve your speaking skills.

TED talks are by given by people from all over the world sharing interesting ideas.  There are fascinating talks on many subjects.  You will learn more in 30 minutes with this method than an hour of conversation with other methods! 

I am also available to help You with:

• Pronunciation
• Diction
• Conscious Dialogue
• Listening Skills
• Conflict Resolution
• Inquiry
• Optimism and Optimal Living
• Proofreading and Editing Documents
