Introduction:

Helping students gain confidence and have fun while learning English.

Hi! It's nice to meet you. I'm Stephanie. I'm an American currently living in Europe. I have over five years of experience teaching English as a foreign language in the U.S. and abroad. I have a Bachelor's degree in Linguistics, so I'm well-versed in phonetics and phonology. I really enjoy talking to people around the world and getting to know them and their culture while speaking English.

Since I have studied foreign languages myself, I know how hard it can be to learn another language. It can be especially tough to speak a foreign language with native speakers, which is why I try to create a comfortable, fun environment for my students to speak.

I love teaching via conversation and by reading articles together, but am willing to work with students to find the method that works for them.

I'm looking forward to working together!

Teaching Specialty:

English Basics › Accent Reduction

My degree in Linguistics and my experience teaching English as a foreign language taught me how to tailor my lessons to each student and to use anatomical mapping and mirroring exercises to reduce accents.

Business English Basics › General

By using role playing methods and understanding what situations are most important for each student to master, I can help you improve your business English to be the best it can be.

English Basics › Pronunciation / Phonics

My Bachelor's degree in Linguistics has enabled me to improve students' pronunciation via mirrored speaking exercises and mapping out speech sounds anatomically.

English Basics › General

I have over five years of experience teaching English so I am well-versed in teaching basic grammar and vocabulary.

Everyday English › Free Conversation

Conversation is my preferred method of teaching since it has real-life applications.

Everyday English › Slang

My work as a Conversation Partner at my university helped me understand how best to teach about English slang.

Everyday English › General

I have over five years of experience teaching English. I like to use conversation and real-life sources like videos and news articles to teach.
