Experience
Self-employed Accent Coach and ESL Instructor
May, 2019 - PresentTakeLessons
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.

I taught the four skill areas (reading, writing, speaking, and listening) in a range of levels from basic to advanced in a rigorous college setting. I consistently received excellent ratings from students and supervisors each semester.

I taught all levels of English for community-based classes. In addition, I coordinated the language program by testing and placing students, planning outings, and recruiting, supervising, and scheduling a staff of volunteer teachers.
