Struggling to learn English?
How would better English change your life?
Fluency in English can open up life-changing opportunities.
A Global Language
Why should you acquire English? A globalized world needs a global language. Increasingly, the universal language is English. Consequently, English isn’t just for non-native speakers to interact with native speakers.
Acquire English
Without a doubt, English is the language of diplomats, air traffic controllers, airline pilots, football (soccer) referees, travelers, tour guides, international business people, medical professionals, scientists, taxi drivers. Learn English, and you can fall in love with a boy or girl from anywhere in the world. 🙂
All you need to take online English lessons is a communications device. A smartphone, tablet, laptop, desktop computer, with a webcam and microphone, and a headset or earbuds, plus a reliable internet connection, and the desire to acquire English.
Being able to communicate in English is a potent tool. It can add value to people’s lives in many different ways. Also, there is an enormous amount of satisfaction that comes from learning anything, especially a language that opens so many doors (opportunities).
Your Solution
Of course, you will want to find the right English teacher for you. You want someone who will take the time to determine your current level of English fluency, as well as what are your goals, wants, and needs. Are you a beginner, have some knowledge of the language, are you in the intermediate stages, or are you preparing for the IELTS or TOEFL examinations? Do you want to travel or do international business? Perhaps you need English to advance in your company or profession.
When looking for an English teacher, you will have many choices. Often, you will find it to your advantage to find a teacher who has empathy for your situation: Has your teacher been a student as an adult? Has he or she learned a foreign language as an adult? Will the teacher understand the challenges you face, especially if you have a job, school, or family obligations?

For the last 20 years, I have owned and operated a photography business.

Placement Test & Needs Analysis
If you think that I might be the teacher for you, please feel free to contact me. I offer a no-charge and no-obligation placement test, and a 30-minute online meeting to help determine how to help you reach your language goals.
Prior to your first lesson, I will email login credentials for your onlinePlacement Test, to you. It will help determine your current level in Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing in English. At our first online meeting (which is at no charge), we will identify your goals, wants, and needs — your reasons for improving your English proficiency.
While the above subjects are my specialty, I am also willing to help a limited number of general English and conversation students.
