You have so much knowledge hidden in your mind and I want to help you bring it out. I like to the make the connection between what you already know and what you want to learn. English is a language that can frustrate learners who want to know WHY it is spelled that way, WHY we say it like that, WHY? Yes, it is truly a language that doesn't like to follow its own rules. I enjoy helping student find creative ways to remember the rules and also the many exceptions. Something else my students receive when they have a lesson with me are fun ways to practice pronunciation. I can help you learn how to make the sounds you are hearing when you listen to American English. It is important to know what people are saying to you, but of course you want them to understand you!
