"I am Dianne, a professional linguist, tutor, and Accent Reduction coach with 30 years of teaching experience working with Latin Americans and Asians. My background is in Corporate Training for business professionals who need proficiency in English and Spanish.

Most importantly, I love teaching because it is a way to shape my students` lives in meaningful ways that truly make a difference.

Here are some reasons to work with me:

1. Accent Reduction / Business English / ESL: Work on sounding like a native speaker. I'm a stickler for correct grammar and pronunciation, so you can speak correctly and be understood while enjoying fun games, sound games, and grammar exercises, all while learning. I cater to each student's individual needs.

2. When it comes to Spanish and Portuguese, I offer the advantage of 25 years of living and working in Latin America. I know how to teach in a way that allows you to learn effectively while keeping the experience upbeat and fun. My students often become passionate about the languages spoken in Latin America and continue to speak them for the rest of their lives.

3. Exam prep: TOEFL, IELTS. Secure admission to your desired university or program by obtaining the necessary preparation for these tests.

4. Proofreading and Editing: I'm a published author and professional editor who has worked in the legal, educational, and business fields for over 15 years.

I offer a free discovery call to determine if we're the right fit for each other.

Hope to talk to you soon!" less...
