    Private English Lessons from a Top Certified Instructor

    English is the language of the world! I'm amazed at how many bilingual people there are now living in Mexico, where I live. Aren't you ready to be one of them? Whether your areas of need are academic reading and writing or casual speaking, I can help you to improve your skills. We will use a variety of online sources and books as the classes progress. I've got almost 15 years of experience teaching all aspects of ESL: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Coupled with a Master's degree in Education and a Graduate Certificate in TESL, I'm fully qualified to help you bring your English language skills to the next level. My accent is a neutral North American accent and I can teach you how to mimic me and other Americans so that you can understand and be understood. I look forward to working with you!

    About Jeanne P.

    Hello! Hola! Bonjour! Здравствуйте! Are you ready to take your English to the next level? Of course, you are! And I would love to help you do that. My name is Jeanne and I'm from Cleveland, OH, and I speak with a neutral American accent. You can feel confident that my fifteen years of experience teaching ESL and pronunciation mean that you're in good hands. My Bachelor's degree is in Spanish and I have a Master's in Education with a Graduate Certificate in TESL plus a Certificate in PESL (or Pronouncing ESL.) I've also trained as a nurse, and I was a small business owner, and now, I'm studying to be a yoga teacher, so my background is diverse. I love connecting with my students on a professional and personal level. In addition, yo hablo español, et un peu de français, и я учу русский so I understand the challenge of mastering a foreign language. My favorite area to teach is pronunciation and accent modification because you need to feel confident that people will understand you when you speak in English. I can also help you with grammar, presentation skills, writing emails, oral reading... and much more! I like to have fun when I teach so that you can feel relaxed when learning and so learn faster. If you're a very serious person, then I may not be the right teacher for you (unless you want to learn to be less serious!) So what are you waiting for? Sign up for some lessons and let's get started! NOTE ABOUT SCHEDULING: in order to get the most benefit from your classes, I recommend scheduling classes 2 to 3 times a week for 30 to 45 minutes. I enjoy having a flexible schedule and I offer flexibility for my students as well.

    Experience

    Self-employed Accent Coach and ESL Instructor

    May, 2019 - Present

    TakeLessons

    I've been teaching with TakeLessons since May 2019. Most of my students are working on improving their English pronunciation in order to communicate more clearly. I have begun using the Color Vowel Approach with some of my pronunciation students. Most of my lessons utilize American English Phonetics and Pronunciation or Mastering the American Accent by Lisa Mojsing. I also have students studying grammar, vocabulary, and all the basics and we use a variety of online sources, depending on the student's individual needs.
