I feel like I’ve made huge progress with Christine. Christine is one of few teachers who has knowledge in phonemes and intonation 😌 If you want a lesson with a teacher who really wants to help you grow, don’t hesitate to work with her! 谢谢你的帮助！十分推荐老师的课。

Christine helped me a lot with the suggestions of various learning methods. She didn't just give me a fish but teach me to fish. Now, I have gained more confidence to speak English. I also began to read English books and watch short videos in English. And I have less fear now if I have to moderate a meeting in English spontaneously.

I studied English at school and at the university, I had lessons with an English tutor for a long time. I had knowledge, but I never spoke English well. All the lessons gave me only a knowledge base. And then I met Christine. Thanks to her lessons, I began to understand English well by ear. Now I hear in a conversation with English-speaking people those phrases that were previously unfamiliar to me. Now I have improved pronunciation, listening comprehension, literacy, and the fear of speaking with English-speaking people is gone.

Christine is fantastic! She's patient, helpful, and focused. She keeps a perfect balance between fun and work during the sessions.

Christine was excellent and above my expectations. We did a lot of exercises together, where she gave me feedback and suggested how I could focus my daily practice on what would bring me the desired results. This is immensely helpful to me because lately, I've been very busy, so I needed to know where to focus on, and Christine's feedback helped me to see where.

My session with Christine was incredibly helpful and straight to the point. Christine provided valuable feedback on the words I mispronounce and helped me better understand the sounds. I am also grateful for the short summary I received via email. 

Soraya

The session with Christine was quite insightful and helpful. She listened attentively about my main interests regarding my English practice. She gave me general feedback on my pronunciation. We did several exercises regarding prosody and she also helped me to set some priorities about the steps to follow in the next months to keep moving forward in my  journey (e.g. which sounds and words to put more emphasis on during practice, which ones to improve and how). Her kindness and empathy during the session also stood out. 

Silvia, Italy

My session with Christine was very helpful and professional. I specifically asked for feedback on my pronunciation, and we worked together on a couple of sounds. It gave me a clear idea on what to focus on in the next couple of months. I also appreciated the follow-up email with some videos and practice sheets I can use to practice.

Pronunciation Coach

I have worked with Christine as a fellow pronunciation coach for several years, and I've seen firsthand that she is masterful in getting students where they want to be with their English. She tailors every lesson to the individual student's needs and goals, and always teaches with patience, kindness, and a wonderful sense of humor. It's never a dull moment being Chistine's student!

Sheryl, China

Financial Analyst

So great! We started from the pronunciation of “dark l”, based on my assessment before the class, and then set the SMART goal together. Completely customized and fit my need. Christine is also easy to talk to, patient and always gives useful suggestions. Really enjoyed the class. Thanks a lot ☺️

Viola, China

Financial Analyst

It was a shame that I did not have enough exposure to English from native speakers when I, as a child, started to learn English many years ago. Nearly no one had told me the mouth positions define the sounds. I just listened and imitated the tape recording. But fortunately, Christine helped me recognize the authentic sound of American English through her effective methodologies.

You, Christine, help me every lesson to be more confident with this language and its grammar. You are a great teacher, always patient and understanding. You help me a lot to not be afraid and to always believe in myself and in my abilities. I love our conversations, always very spontaneous. I really appreciate your patience and your advice.

Christine is thoughtful and understanding; she is a great teacher to practice English conversation. She shows great attention to the details (pronunciation, grammar, sentences). Thank you for creating positive and fun English conversation lessons.

Frequently Asked Questions

During our first session, I will give you a Speech & Accent Evaluation and provide feedback on the main areas you need to focus on to improve your clarity and expression. We will discuss your goals and biggest challenges. Together, we will design a best course of action to improve your English.

I facilitate a relaxed learning environment, like we are two friends naturally speaking (while learning at the same time). Lessons consist of learning new content based on your learning plan, as well as reviewing past material to make sure it has been integrated. All homework material is provided.

Students should expect to spend at least 2 hours per week practicing outside of lesson time.

Most of my clients report to me that their initial English training was mostly focused on grammar and writing. They come to me because while they have aced their TOEFL / IELTS exam, but they are not able to speak fluently or be understood by native speakers. 

Proper pronunciation ensures that spoken messages are conveyed clearly. Mispronunciation can lead to repeated requests for clarification, which can be frustrating for both the speaker and the listener. This can discourage learners from engaging in conversations, limiting their practice opportunities and social interactions.

My teaching method is focused on speaking and pronunciation. 

You’ll see change on the very first day! When you ask HOW LONG, I ask, HOW OFTEN? For example, how often do you come to class? How often do you practice? With lots of repetition, you’ll get there faster. 

Generally, students can expect to see noticeable improvements within 3-6 months of dedicated practice. However, achieving a near-native accent may take years of consistent effort.

Lessons will be conducted via Zoom. This is a free video-conferencing platform that is easy to use. You will need to create an account and download the application. 

If you are unable to use Zoom for some reason, Discord or Skype are also options.

In-between classes, students can interact with me on our Discord server. You’ll get the link to join after you sign up.

Absolutely! Homework / practice in-between sessions is essential if you want to improve. This may include pronunciation drills, reading out loud, listening, shadowing, and/or recording yourself.

I have availability Monday - Friday, 10 am- 5 pm (Eastern Time), as well as some Saturday morning slots. After you sign up, you’ll get a link to my personal calendar. You can schedule your sessions up to 2 months in advance to guarantee the days and times you like.

Pricing depends on whether you prefer group or individual sessions. Please check out my Patreon to see how I structure the cost of my coaching sessions.
