​​​​‣ How do you teach total beginner level English students who do not speak English at all?

​I have worked with many total beginner level English students over the past 7 years who have progressed quickly with my methods. I incorporate gesturing, visuals, slower and clear speech, and repetition with students in this level. I also incorporate aspects of my student's culture in examples during lessons to encourage student agency which in turn influences rapid acquisition. Also, when working with students who's native languages I speak, I tend to minimally incorporate these languages into the lessons.

​‣ Do you offer package discounts?

Yes, I do. I offer pay-as-you-go options as well as discounted package rates of 10 total lessons. Please inquire on my contact page for details.

​‣ What is the payment process for services and packages?

​Once your initial call is complete and you have decided on the service and package of your choice, you will receive a payment link (either via email or another form of agreed communication). This payment link is done via STRIPE, a safe and secure credit card system. If STRIPE is not a convenient payment method for you, please contact me.

​‣ How long is a class or package?

This depends entirely upon my client. The minimum for one lesson is an hour, and many of my clients prefer two to three 1 hour lessons per week. Packages also depend on what my client prefers. As packages are purchased in 10 total classes, clients may choose to take 1 to 5 lessons a week, depending upon their preference.

‣ Which clients have you worked with in the past?

I have worked with many prominent individuals in various fields, including international diplomats, ambassadors, and corporate executives. Most of my clients and I sign NDA's (non-disclosure agreements). Feel free to visit the "Industries" tab which provides insights into the clientele I cater to.

​‣ Do you work with kids?

​Yes! I do. Although my services primarily cater towards international executives, diplomats, and ambassadors, I do provide services for children which you may find under my "Courses" tab on my website. If you do not see the kind of service you are interested in, please contact me.

​‣ Do you speak other languages and can you incorporate these into my lessons?

Yes. I speak fluent German, conversational levels of Italian, French, Spanish, and Arabic. As such, I minimally incorporate aspects of these languages in my lessons, especially for students who are assessed at lower levels of English, in order to promote student agency. However, my lessons are primarily conducted in English to encourage rapid language acquisition, progression, and immersion.

​‣ Are online lessons as effective as in-person lessons?

My clients and students have experienced success from our online lessons together. Online lessons are effective as long as there is full dedication from the learner's side and proper guidance from the teacher/coach. This also depends on the learner's preference of in-person instruction versus online instruction.​
