Communication & Public Speaking

1 on 1 english communication classes

For those who require a professional conversationalist to help them improve, grow confidence, or keep their verbal skills in the English language sharp. Regular conversation practice helps learners become more confident, improves listening abilities, accelerates vocabulary acquisition, and promotes cultural understanding. Conversation classes provide a safe environment for practice, allowing students to make mistakes and learn from them. It is a more relaxed environment in which to practice, learn, and improve wherein the topic of the discussion is of interest to the student. This allows the students to develop ease of communication, opening the path to true fluency.

Short-term course specifically for upper-level students who would like to brush up on their English in preparation for participation in a meeting or conference on a specific topic.

English classes for debates

A short-term course designed to assist students in developing their skills in debating. It is specifically for upper-level students who need to polish their English and practice the necessary target language in preparation for an adversarial meeting or debate on a specific topic.

There is technical structure and emotional structure involved in giving a speech that moves your audience. This short-term course is for those upper-level students who require assistance preparing an important speech. AI aids can easily give you the words, however, a live coach can assist you with the human elements of pronunciation, intonation, emotional presentation, voice control, and audience interaction. A live coach is a sounding board that can significantly increase the impact of your speech.

This course is designed to assist students in developing their presentation skills. We will explore the fundamentals of presentation structure: how to write an effective presentation and emphasize your points with visual aids. We will also cover public speaking skills, empowering you to establish credibility with your audience so that they have confidence in the message you are trying to convey.

Academic English

learn english language online education

Passing the TOEFL examination is a major milestone in life. For second language learners, it is a key to furthering their education or proving their English language capability for their profession. We prepare students to get the highest score possible at their level.

Prospective students will be given a free, comprehensive English language-level assessment. The starting point of their course will be based on their level. No textbook purchase is necessary. All lesson materials will be provided by the teacher.

This course is designed for university or pre-university students who need to enhance their skills for admission into an English language university program. The course covers all four competencies: reading, writing, listening, and speaking. Students will be prepared to effectively communicate both in the classroom and on campus.

Prospective students will be given a free English language skills assessment. No textbook purchase is necessary. All class materials will be provided by the teacher.

The key to learning how to write academically in English is learning to understand the “thought process” behind the steps in “the writing process”. If a student can understand what they should be thinking and what action to take along with that thought, they will be able to understand how to write effective academic papers.

I teach students how to think while breaking the academic writing process down into its parts, making it easy to draft any paper. This process makes writing 30 pages no different than writing 3. From simple paragraphs to complex papers with citations, works cited/references, and appropriate academic format.

Prospective students will be given a short, free English language level and writing assessment. The starting point of their course will be based on their level. No textbook purchase is necessary. All lesson materials will be provided by the teacher.

For those students looking for an alternative to the French Bac exam for admission to US universities. Courses are available upon request.
