ESL Tutoring Conversational English for Teens and Adults, level A2 – C2 (high beginner – advanced)

What we can practice together in Conversational English Tutoring

  • Conversation practice (new friends, doctors, teachers, coworkers, store clerks, travel, etc.)
  • Practice what you are learning in other ESL classes
  • Business or school presentation practice and proofread slides
  • Job interview practice
  • Practice pronunciation of American English and learn new vocabulary words
  • Practice everyday conversations and discussions about life, school, work, travel, and real world topics
  • Optional short homework assignments if you want more practice

If you are taking other courses, this is a good way to practice what you are learning. You will get specific feedback and individual language practice in every session. If there are specific things you want to practice, such as public speaking or talking to a school teacher, we can practice those.  If you are looking for an online ESL tutor or ELL tutor, email me
