I am a Master TEFL English Coach. I focus on YOU & your goals only. I have a patented simple program for correcting pronunciation, secrets of understanding people when they talk fast, or use different American or other accents. I have helped hundreds (maybe thousands) of students, children & adults, beginners & advanced students.

I have many great reviews on other teaching platforms, where most of my students are working (or trying to work) in the world of technology, and, some are even famous! I was a TOP Information technology instructor in Silicon Valley (where I am from) as well as a senior Microsoft/Linux/Cisco IT engineer & consultant from 1997 to 2007. I also once worked with Steve Jobs niece.

Later I operated a freelance front end web design/web development business - from 2010 to 2017, approxamately. In 2018 & up to the present I began teaching English in International schools, online, and, earned my Master TEFL certification.

Whether you are improving your English for work purposes, social purposes, or academic purposes - TEFL/IELTS/TOEIC - I have not only the experience you seek, but my own perfected method of outlining your goals, and attaining them.

Some of my students say I am gifted with my oratory abilities! A natural speaker & educator. My flat rate of $18 per hour is more than fair, as you will get a lot more than what you are paying for.

Let's spend out first session getting to know each other so I can assess your speaking, comprehension, sentence structure, etc., and outline your goals as carefully as we can. From that point on, I can give you an estimate of "how long", "how many sessions", and, spend every session beyond that with a focused plan to help you pass your test, improve your technical or business English, or, improve your social and even cultural English.

Fee details

    US$18/hour (US$18/hour)

    My fees do not vary. I like to spend my first session with you making introductions and especially to outline your goals with you. Also, I can get a feel for your abilities in speaking, pronunciation, making good sentences, listening (or comprehending) American or other English. That way, I can prepare each following lesson in advance with a total focus on you. I do not charge a lot of money and I do not waste your time. We outline your goals in session one, and then spend every other session achieving those goals. That way I can also give you an estimate of "how long", "how many sessions", "how many hours", etc., we will need to devote to accomplish your goals.
