There are no quizzes in these conversational English classes. You can talk about your life, dreams, and goals—or your choice of topic from the many subjects listed here on the Preply site—with someone who can help you to correct your word usage and pronunciation without any judgement. This will help you speak more confidently in social settings while helping you to become a more fluent English speaker over time.

I focus on helping immigrants to North America study for the GENERAL IELTS exam. I am not an academic IELTS instructor, so I recommend you seek an academic English teacher for that more advanced English exam.

Whether it's reviewing (and fully understanding) the English job description, updating your resume and cover letter to match it, preparing for interview questions, or practicing mock interview scenarios together, I can help you to prepare for your upcoming job interview during our class. Through my experienced contacts within Canada's recruitment industry, I can recommend valuable resources (e.g., books, checklists, job boards) that will help you in your search for employment.

English to Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) classes can significantly improve your speaking, reading, and listening comprehension when practiced consistently over the course of several weeks. I am a certified TESOL tutor with 30 years of experience as a professional writer, published author, and English language book publisher who can help you achieve your goals.

When you study English as a Second Language (ESL) from a native English speaker and certified TESOL tutor, you improve more than your English grammar, speaking, reading, and listening skills. You learn the common vernacular that we use in our everyday lives. The funny sayings and idioms you've heard that don't make sense suddenly become clearer, and you come to understand how and when they're most often used. This requires consistent practice over a period of weeks or months, depending on how often you work with your tutor. If you're committed to you, then I am committed to you.

To help you significantly improve your English skills, I'm going to start at the basics with you. We're going to learn all about the eight parts of speech, how to properly form sentences to help you write more effectively, and how to pronounce not only words but each and every letter of the alphabet. All English proficiency tests include sections for listening, reading, writing, and speaking. I’m going to help you in all these areas—including proper pronunciation—over the course of 28 hours. Complete this full course with me, and you will be much further ahead in all your English skills.

To help you significantly improve your English writing skills, I'm going to start at the very basics with you. We'll start out by learning the eight parts of speech so that you fully understand what components make up a simple sentence. Then we'll build on that to teach you how to write more complex sentences to make your writing more appealing. If you commit to my full 28-hour English course, you will see a noticeable improvement to your English writing, speaking, reading, and listening skills.

As a Canadian, I obviously specialize in Canadian English. That said, through my experience as a worldwide book publisher, I am very familiar with how our spellings, pronunciation, and word usage differ from British English and American English. All are correct. We can have fun learning the differences together.
