Conversational English Practice with a Native English Speaker — TEFL Certified, for Adults

From 22 C$ /h

Friendly conversation practice for adults who want to speak English with more confidence. Classes are led by a native English speaker from the United States with a 120-hour TEFL certificate, teaching online from the Dominican Republic. I am learning Spanish as well, so I understand the difficulty that can come with learning a second language. I am patient, soft-spoken, and enjoy helping others learn and feel more confident.

Each class is built around conversation and guided practice. We choose topics based on your goals and real-life use. You will speak a lot in every class. I correct common mistakes calmly and explain them simply, so you can use what you learn right away.

What these classes are not: complicated grammar lessons, exam preparation, or long vocabulary lists to memorize. The goal is actually using the language — clearly, naturally, and with growing confidence.

In our first class, we get to know each other and talk about your goals. Then, I will suggest some topics that I think will help you the most, and we will decide together what you want to prioritize. After that, each class is designed to help you work on those goals.

For adults (and occasionally teenagers), beginner to intermediate level. Classes are online by webcam, in English, at a calm and steady pace.

About Me

I am a native English speaker from the United States, now living in the Dominican Republic. I am learning Spanish myself, so I understand how it feels to understand a lot but find it hard to speak. As a teacher I am patient, soft-spoken, and calm. My classes are conversation practice: lots of speaking, useful phrases for real situations, and gentle correction of common mistakes. I enjoy working with adult students who want to speak and use the language with more confidence, one class at a time.

Education

Associate of Science (A.S.) in Business Management — Penn Foster, 2025. My studies covered business communication, office administration, and organizational processes: the everyday English that professionals actually use.

Experience / Qualifications

120-hour TEFL certificate in teaching English as a foreign language. Native English speaker. I have helped friends practice conversational English, and in my previous work as a front-office coordinator I trained new staff by turning my workflows into clear, step-by-step instructions — teaching people patiently, in order, is something I have real practice at.
