English Speaking Lessons
DOES THIS SOUND LIKE YOU? ...
English is not your first language. You read, write, and understand it well. But speaking English is still a challenge.
You are not alone. For adult language learners, speaking is usually the hardest skill to master. This is especially true if you are not speaking English all the time, or you have just moved to an English-speaking country.

FAQ
How long is each lesson?
One hour.
Are the lessons online?
Yes. The lessons are on Zoom. In-person lessons may be available if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Do you teach students outside the U.S.?
Yes! I have taught students around the world. The only requirement is a reliable internet connection and access to Zoom.
How much does it cost?
Please see the rates.
How do I pay?
We will email you an invoice. You can pay online using any major credit card or Cash App. If you live in China, you can use WeChat Pay or AliPay.
How do I schedule lESSONS?
Our online scheduling tool makes it easy to book your lessons.
What Levels Do You Teach?
Intermediate (B1/B2) to advanced levels (C1). If you are essentially fluent (C2), our public speaking lessons are probably a better fit for you.
Do you teach beginners?
No, simply because adult beginners need a lot of class time. Private lessons are not frequent enough or cost-effective for these learners. Community college or private language schools are a much better option.
What ARE THE MATERIALS AND PRACTICE LIKE?
We use a variety of well-designed ESL materials. Two programs that we frequently use are Fluentize and Off2Class. Both provide fun, engaging lessons with plenty of opportunity for speaking practice. After your lesson, you will have a practice assignment that you will record. Karen will review your practice and give you feedback.
