"Patient, knowledgeable and experienced in teaching English language learners, I have taught ESL for more than 20 years to adults and college level students. I have been teaching the English Pronunciation Workshop at Suffolk County Community College in New York for 14 years, as well as tutoring students online. I help my students speak their thoughts clearly and fluently!

I earned an MA-TESOL (Master of Arts -Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), RSA/CELTA (Royal Society of the Arts/Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) and the New York State ESL Teacher K-12 Certification.

There are many different ways to help different types of students to reduce their accent.

I listen carefully to you speak and find the best way to help you say exactly what you want to say, clearly and confidently in English. I explain, describe and show you how to clearly make the different English sounds. Then we discuss and practice using syllable/word stress and intonation, improving your rhythm and fluency while we target your main concerns with your English pronunciation.

I create lessons around your interests and make enjoyable, as well as challenging, activities that are specifically geared to your improving the quality of your life.

When you would like to improve your English pronunciation and reduce your accent, please contact me to learn more, ask questions, and schedule lessons. I would like to work with you!

Best regards,

Leslie" less...
