About Nancy

Hi! I'm Nancy, an experienced adult ESL instructor. I also work with non-native English speakers to train their American English Accent. Lessons are live, private, one-on-one lessons.

If any of these situations describe your experiences and your goals, we should chat ...

... You know that what you just said in English was absolutely correct, but your American conversation partners didn't understand you, and you don't know why. The conversation ended quickly or you sensed impatience.

... Do you want to advance in your career and confidently deliver presentations, speak in meetings, express your opinions, speak to management, stakeholders, and clients?

... Do you want to continue your education and to advance your employment opportunities?

... Do you want to socialize more easily with work colleagues and clients, with friends and neighbors?

Know these 3 things:

1. You ARE NOT ALONE!

2. You ARE CAPABLE of training and learning to speak American English so you are easily understood - and so you can better understand native American speakers!

3. With me as your American English Guide, you will speak American English with GREATER CONFIDENCE!

My personal experience feeds my passion for teaching English. In my late 20's I moved with my husband to Germany where we lived for 16 years. I did not yet speak German when we arrived. I know what it takes to settle into a new country, language, and culture while wanting to fulfill professional and personal goals. I was determined, I worked hard, and it was SO worth it. I became fluent in German, could conduct business in German, and built a career and lifetime friendships.

While in Germany, I first started teaching English to native German speakers, both in adult education programs and private lessons to adults and middle/high school students.

After my return to the U.S., I again began teaching English to adults and have been doing this -- sometimes more, sometimes less -- over the years. I love it!

You can find out more about me on LinkedIn: (concealed information)

I am CELTA-certified in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). I am also certified by the State of Connecticut to teach English to Non-Native Adult Speakers of Other Languages and successfully completed the two-part training in Connecticut's Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts. I have a Bachelor of Arts Degree with Honors.

In addition to teaching ESL (and American Accent Training) in private lessons and courses to adults, for the past 7 years I've been teaching an ESL course on Career Preparedness. We work on self-exploration to identify accomplishments and goals, resume writing, and job interview preparation.

I lived in another country for 16 years and I know how it is to arrive without knowledge of the language and build from there. I speak German, some French, and I'm working on Spanish.

I am an active lifelong learner and regularly attend webinars on ESL, Accent Training, teaching techniques and tools.

About the lesson

My lessons are customized for each student. I meet with new students on Zoom . Classes are usually 55 minutes, but can be longer if you'd like. In our first meeting we will your goals and identify areas to work on.

You will learn by doing, not just by reading or listening. You are developing new habits, which can feel a bit strange at first, but using patience as a guide leads to the best results – just like starting a new workout at the gym.

I've been teaching English to adult speakers of other languages here in the U.S. for the past 8 years, but my experience goes back to when I lived in Germany where I first started teaching English to native German speakers, both in adult education programs and private lessons to adults and middle/high school students.

Many of my students are professionals, others are starting out in the work world here in the U.S. I have had the great pleasure of working with students from over 35 countries.

Take time to be sure the teacher is someone you feel comfortable with, who

... is patient and clear,

... understands your goals and what you are looking to achieve,

... can give you an honest and realistic idea of what kind of progress you'll make,

... makes learning both challenging – and enjoyable.

A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
What is your current level?

What are your goals?

What do you want to achieve?

What do you think your greatest challenges are?

Can you attend classes consistently.

What qualities do you think a good teacher should have?

The base price for 55-minute private lesson for ESL is $50 and for American Accent Training session is $75. If you prefer longer lessons, I am flexible and we can discuss that as well. I do not recommend Accent Training sessions longer than 1 hour. Students who want more than one lesson a week or to pay for a package of lessons in advance receive a discount, so ask me about that.
