"Hi, I'm Emmi! I've been tutoring, teaching, and even training teachers for over 17 years. I'm a highly experienced coach specializing in American accent training, personal statements and interview preparation -- so you can communicate your skills, experiences, and personality confidently and impactfully.

I got my start in education by teaching undergraduate language classes as I paid my way through my undergrad and graduate studies. After earning a credential to teach in California public schools, I spent a decade teaching language classes in several high schools. Then, I transitioned to creating trainings and resources for language teachers full-time, but I continued to work with my own students 1-on-1, too. Now, that's all I do, and I absolutely love supporting my clients every day to reach their personal, educational, and career goals.

Whether you're writing your personal statements for college, preparing for a big interview, or perfecting your American English pronunciation and speech, I'd love to be your coach. My sessions are structured (so you feel the time is well spent and you walk away with tools you can use right away), but also flexible enough to be super-personalized to your specific needs and goals. I have thousands of hours of experience teaching teenagers and adults to communicate their stories and talents and it's my true passion and calling. So go ahead and send me a message or book a session with me because I can't wait to coach you." less...
