I've been teaching ESL professionally since 2005, the year I got my Cambridge certification (CELTA). I built my skills teaching at one of the best language schools in New York City, and over the years I have helped hundreds of people- from CEOs and diplomats to television producers and sex workers.
I'm also a communication consultant, working with individuals and brands to organize their ideas and express their value in the most authentic and effective way possible.

A: This could be a job interview, a portfolio presentation, a speech, an application essay or academic writing, or even a pitch to investors or potential customers.
If you have between 1 week and 2 months to prepare, I would love to help you!

A: In our trial, we discuss your short-term goal and your expectations, I ask you a lot of questions to understand what you need to succeed, and I give you honest and realistic feedback. If I'm confident that I can support you, I will propose a specific plan of action for us to begin in our first full session- including preparation for you to do before then.

A: In the past I did offer conversation classes for more casual, long-term learning, but right now I don't.
I do include conversation practice in my sessions when it is appropriate, or if it supports the main goal.
