Conversation Coaching

While working and raising my family, I have had the opportunity to travel widely and often. I love meeting people from different cultures. This interest led me to join an English Conversation group. Soon my students asked me to coach them individually. Coaching English conversation has been very rewarding for me, and a great benefit to my students who crave the opportunity to practice speaking one-on-one with a native English speaker. I challenge them to elevate their vocabulary, correct pronunciation, and provide a judgement-free time to just talk without fear of embarrasement if they make a mistake! My method is to encourage students to talk about anything they like be it the news, their experiences, or hobbies and entertainment. By keeping our conversations friendly and casual, the students can relax and recall all the English they have learned so far, and use it in a real-world setting.
