In this tailored private one one one lesson, learners will have a chance to either build up their vocabulary, learn grammar through various sentence structures, get tailored assistance on their pronunciation, or practice conversing on a variety of subjects in the English language.  The focus of this class will be on speaking so that students will be able to practice their conversation skills.  If you would like your learner to also work on spelling, writing, reading, or something else connected to the English language, just let me know so that we can tailor our lessons to accommodate your learners' needs as much as possible.

This class is great for both native speakers needing some extra help as well as for students who are learning English as a second language!  Feel free to let me know if there is a specific area your learner needs to focus on so that we can make good use of our class time. 

Listed below are a few example lesson plans for both younger learners as well as for more advanced learners and teens. (The lesson outlines below are just examples so we can always change things to fit your learner's individual needs.)
