自己紹介

DEPTH OF EXPERIENCE: Dual Master's Language specialist with 12,000+ teaching hours (1,500+ on Verbling) and a 28-lesson student average.

SPECIALIZATIONS: Business Communication • Academic Writing & Test Prep (IELTS/TOEFL) • Accent & Pronunciation Refinement • Career Coaching (Presentations, Interviews, Speeches) • Reach Conversational Mastery

WELCOME TO MY CLASSROOM
Mastering a language should feel natural, structured, and empowering. With two Master’s degrees in language acquisition and over 25 years of classroom and online experience across four continents, I help students bridge the gap between basic fluency and true professional mastery.

My teaching philosophy centers on scaffolded learning: I provide the exact structural support, vocabulary (collocations), and real-time corrections you need until you confidently command the language on your own. Every session is tailored directly to your personal goals, career ambitions, and current interest areas in a supportive, zero-stress environment.

WHY WORK WITH ME?
LONG-TERM SUPPORT FOR BIG GOALS: My students average 28 lessons each because they build real, measurable progress toward their professional goals.

DUAL MASTER'S EXPERTISE:
M.A. in Teaching English and M.A. in Foreign Language Pedagogy, backed by US state teaching licensure and Level 5 TEFL/Business English certifications.

GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE & MULTILINGUAL INSIGHT:
Having lived and taught across Europe, South America, Asia, the Middle East, and the US, I speak advanced Spanish, French, and Italian (plus intermediate German). I understand firsthand the structural differences native speakers face when acquiring English.

COMPREHENSIVE CAREER SUPPORT:
Specialized coaching for high-stakes interviews, corporate presentations, academic writing, and exam preparation.

WHAT STUDENTS SAY:
"Tana is by far the best teacher I have found on Verbling. Super competent, super engaged, with a deep understanding of language structure and a true passion for teaching. A+++"

LESSON STRUCTURE & COMMITMENTS:

PERSONALIZED PLANS: Customized feedback on grammar, pronunciation, and collocations during active discussion.
Prepare students for major career transitions, academic excellence, and conversational fluency.

Outside of teaching, I have a son currently studying at Harvard Law, and my daughter uses her fluent German language skills at a global airline. I live in Rome, and enjoy long-distance walking, learning about history, and Italian cooking!

I love working one-on-one to connect with learners and guide each student on their unique path to fluency.

Feel free to send me a message with any questions. I invite you to book a trial lesson today. I look forward to helping you reach your English goals!
