English Classes in Seattle, WA

Native English Speaker / CELTA Certified / Fortune 50 Corporate Communications I am a native English speaker from the United States. I can help you achieve English fluency by improving your grammar, refining your pronunciation and prosody, and expanding your vocabulary. I have completed a bachelor’s degree in Psychology, graduate study in Education, and a CELTA certification program which is considered the highest qualification for teaching English. While I am new to Italki, I am not new to teaching; I have taught over 400 English classes to adult learners. I also have decades of experience in corporate communications for leading global companies like Microsoft and Alaska Airlines. Accordingly, I am able to teach adults how to communicate with clarity and professionalism in interviews and at work. My English classes are customized to the learning style of each student. We discuss the topics that interest them, whether that is work or their personal interests, such as travel, art, or music. I help them develop an English-speaking style that is natural and appropriate for the environment in which they live, work, or study. My teaching style is professional and focused, but also light-hearted, encouraging, and warm. This is because I believe that learning English with a teacher should be a positive experience. I do my best to keep my Italki calendar up to date for the current week, but, as it changes quickly, it can sometimes be out of date. I am happy to work with you to align on a day and time that works best for you. Thank you.

8+ years Coaching Chinese CEOs, Professionals and Students| 🇺🇸🇨🇳 Consulting|Past COO & fCOO As a VC pitch leader and consultant for Chinese companies operating in the US, I've built my own diagnostic, framework, and methodology specifically for Chinese professionals and students. I'm here to share that with you. Most English coaching drills grammar and vocabulary and misses the real gap: the cultural mindset difference between how Chinese and Americans communicate. Chinese students may pass English exams but still be misunderstood the moment they have to speak. I coach ESI, my English Speaking Identity framework that turns robotic English into confident English for the interviews, pitches, meetings, and conversations where your words shape your future. In one session, you'll see an improvement in your confidence. In the trial lesson, I will give you my diagnostic that I have created to measure the impact, influence and persuasion of your current English level. After the diagnostic, I will send you your detailed results that shows where your English communication falls short and how we can close this gap. I will include your learning plan and timeline. If your English is already at a B2 to C1 level, I will provide you with a Personality Assessment diagnostic (different from the MBTI) that will be the blueprint to developing your expanded English personality. Our sessions will focused on key skills that will improve your work and social life when you have to communicate in English. The key skills we will develop will also be provided after the assessment.
