Here’s what you get.
Coaching built around your goals
Your English should fit your life. We work on the English you actually need, whether that is for your job, for school and exams, or for standing up and speaking in front of people. You set the direction and we adjust as you go.
- English for work and business
- Academic English and exam prep
- Speaking with confidence in front of people
I keep you accountable
You can learn plenty of English on your own. Most people don’t, because nothing is on the line. Every word you get stuck on goes into your flashcards, you study between sessions, and I quiz you when we start. That is the part you are really paying for.
- New words added after every lesson
- A quick quiz every time we talk
- You can see how many words you’ve learned
Real American English
Common phrases, expressions, and the vocabulary people really use. We work on pronunciation and rhythm until it sounds right. Textbook English when you need it, and all the English in between.
- American pronunciation and rhythm
- Everyday phrases and expressions
- Slang, jokes, and the culture behind them
Hi, I’m Jake.
I’m an English coach. TEFL certified, with a bachelor’s degree in film from California State University, Long Beach. I also do standup comedy, so we are not going to run out of things to talk about. Movies, jokes, American culture, why people say things the way they say them.
Think of me as your liaison for American English and the culture that comes with it. I teach adults one-on-one, online, from complete beginner on up. Your first 20 minutes are on me.
