Introduction:
Over 2 Decades of Rich Cross-cultural Experience, Fusing Language & Confidence Building
Hi, I’m Hoda — a Canadian-raised English coach with 20+ years of experience helping adult learners speak confidently, clearly, and naturally. I started teaching at age 16, and by my early twenties, I was training teachers and designing one-on-one courses tailored to real-life needs: Business English, IELTS, English for Immigrants, Advanced Vocabulary, Listening Made Easy, and more.
Students often call me the "bringer of energy!" I combine structured guidance with the expressive skills of a trained voiceover artist to make grammar and vocabulary unforgettable — through realistic examples, contextualisation, and joy.
Whether you're preparing for immigration, a global job interview, or just want to sound more natural, I’m here to guide you. Let’s talk — and learn in the most engaging way possible!
Teaching Specialty:
I use linguistic rules and formulas for correct and natural pronunciation and enunciation. We use simple written stories as practice material. As a VoiceOver artist, I also read short texts aloud for you to transcribe once you've mastered the rules we've covered.
For this, I have utilised the books: English Idioms in Use and Essential Idioms in English.
I have taught vocabulary for over two decades utilising the following resources: 504 Essential Words in English - Essential Vocabulary in Use and Essential Idioms in English.
Whether your level is pre-intermediate or Advanced, I bring knowledge, experience plus several resources such as the Intermediate/Upper-intermediate and Advanced English In Use series.
Through dramatisation, theatricality, contextualisation, and topic-based communication, we have fun building both your skills and your confidence.
Through dramatisation, contextualisation and situation-based communication, we have fun building both your skills and your confidence in discussing topics of your choice based on your revealed language needs over time.
Whether it is Presentation, Interview, Negotiation, Discussion & Debate, or Public/Keynote Speaking skills you seek, I have trained businessmen and women of all backgrounds, from large corporate companies to small entrepreneurial settings. I have done several years of public speaking and workshop facilitation myself, and have trained many students for the above skills.
Besides a communicative method that relies heavily on teacher experience and topic-based communication and learning, we may use a rich variety of online resources according to student needs.
