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! Are you ready to take your English to the next level? I would love to help you do that! I'm from Cleveland, OH, and have fifteen years of experience teaching Accent Reduction and ESL. I've got a Bachelor's degree in Spanish and a Master's in Education with a Graduate Certificate in TESL. I'm also trained as a nurse, a small business owner, and a Forest Therapy Guide. I LOVE connecting with my students on a professional and personal level, plus I speak fluent Spanish and a little French, Portuguese and Russian, so I understand the challenge of mastering a foreign language. My favorite area to teach is pronunciation and accent modification, and I can also help you with grammar, refining presentation skills, writing emails, oral reading... whatever! I like to have fun when I teach so that you can feel relaxed and have fun as you learn. If you're a very serious person, then I'm probably not the right teacher for you (unless you want to learn to be less serious!) 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.

I've been teaching with TakeLessons since May 2019. Most of my students are working on perfecting their English pronunciation in order to communicate more clearly. However, I also have students studying grammar, vocabulary, and all the basics. I have begun using the Color Vowel Approach with some of my pronunciation students. Most of my lessons utilize American English Phonetics and Pronunciation I like to use Life 2nd Edition from National Geographic Learning for some of my ESL students.
