"My goal is to help you reach your goals! I am a native speaker with over 25 years teaching experience, including extensive experience coaching business professionals to become better public speakers. I have worked with hundreds of working professionals from China, Russia, Belarus, Mongolia, Egypt, Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, Mauritania, Korea, Peru, Argentina, Germany and Mexico, many of whom work in the tech industry.

In total, during the last 10 years, I have held over 6,000 online sessions. It is a privilege to coach individuals with public speaking, accent reduction, colloquial and idiomatic usage of language, interpreting theory, small talk skills, job interviews, English for meetings, pushing back, language for conflict resolution in the workplace, and articulation/pronunciation challenges. You will find me encouraging, patient and with a good sense of humor. We will share dynamic materials during the session, but you are always welcome to bring your own materials or concerns so that we can pivot to current needs.

Having lived in several cultures, I have a true understanding of the challenges facing language learners. During my sessions, you will talk extensively, do role-play and work hard, but you will also experience empathy, patience, humor and compassion. My goal is to help you reach your highest potential during sessions that are both enjoyable and impactful. I want you to find great value in your investment.

I also worked for 15 years as a Certified Legal Interpreter with the United States Courts (English/Spanish) and trainer of new interpreters, and consequently have an extensive background in communication related to legal jargon.

Currently I prefer working with adults as my curriculum is best tailored to working professionals (or those looking to enter the work force). Please try a session with me. I am looking forward to meeting you!" less...
