About Bill

My students have included Chinese, Russian, Japanese, Arabic, Hindi, Bengali, Portuguese, Twi, Korean, French and Spanish-speakers. Their concerns have included Standard American English pronunciation, accent-reduction/modification, comprehension of spoken American English, specialized vocabulary and syntax, controlling speed of speech, using tone of voice with intentionality, and improving their verbal conversational and presentation skills. 

Almost all of my students are at some stage of their career in business, the technical world, or the professions. I have also worked with graduate students who have been in the US for several years already. Many of my students already read and understand written English very well. Many of my students are also quite capable of reading written English materials aloud.

The challenges my students face lie mainly in the area of spontaneous spoken English, such as when they are making a technical presentation, explaining complex concepts to English-speaking students, discussing matters with English-speaking clients, negotiating a business deal in English, or communicating well during an interview with a native-English speaker. 

Many also feel challenged when expressing themselves in written English, whether in a research paper or business report, or in a presentation or proposal, or simply in an important memo or email.

I work with each student or group of students to identify and use learning materials that are relevant to their specific professional and business interests.

Would you like to do a tune-up on your basic Standard American English pronunciation skills? Using world-class speech visualization tools, in just 12-15 sessions we'll cover all 44 Vowel/Consonant sounds in American English, called Phonemes, at the rate of 1-3 per session. At the end of each session you'll be confident in the pronunciation and use of those phonemes, and when the 12-15 weeks are up, you'll be on top of the entire set of 44.

Ask yourself:
. Do "V" and "W" words sometimes make you "very wary"?
• Do "through" and "though" thoroughly confuse you?
• Do your "ING" endings really ring?
• Can you feel the difference in the "TH" sounds as you say
"MOTHER" and "MOTH". (Hint - it's the vibration!)

I work with individuals or small groups of 2-3 people. Because my teaching approach is very interactive and personalized, my experience is that having more than 3 people in an online class degrades the quality of learning for everybody.

I've worked with students from 18 to 70 in Europe, Asia, India, Africa and South America, and would enjoy working with you - whatever your needs and goals.
