English Fluency & Pronunciation Coach | Native English Speaker & Opera Singer Hello! My name is Kinneret, and I am an American-Israeli opera singer based in New York City and Tel Aviv. I was born and raised in the United States and earned my Bachelor’s degree cum laude from Hunter College, where I studied languages, literature, and history. As both a professional singer and a lifelong language enthusiast, I specialize in helping adult students improve their English fluency, pronunciation, confidence, and communication skills for work, travel, presentations, public speaking, and everyday life. In addition to English and Hebrew, I have studied Italian, French, German, and Russian extensively. Having learned multiple languages myself, I understand the challenges students face with grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation, and sounding natural in conversation. My background as an opera singer gives me a unique advantage when teaching pronunciation. I can not only model sounds clearly, but also explain how to produce them through tongue, lip, and mouth placement. I also understand how different languages influence pronunciation and can help students overcome common difficulties. Every student learns differently, so I tailor lessons to each individual’s goals, learning style, and interests. Whether you’re looking to communicate more confidently at work, prepare for a presentation, improve your speaking skills, or simply feel more comfortable using English in daily life, I strive to make lessons both effective and enjoyable. I look forward to working with you!

From basic grammatical rules to advanced writing skills, book a trial to find the perfect schedule for the best time consumption.
