About James

After studying in both Virginia and California, I earned my TESOL certificate while traveling through Southeast Asia in 2017, beginning my career as an educator and collaborator within a global community. Over the years I've worked my way into specifically working with speaking and pronunciation, and I’ve worked with students from more than 30 countries—including China, Russia, Mexico, Peru, France, and Thailand—developing a strong understanding of the unique challenges different accents face and the specific tools needed to address them. I’ve helped students improve test scores, deliver confident presentations, and feel more comfortable speaking in everyday life.

My lessons are tailored to each learner’s background and goals. I've helped congressional candidates work on speeches, doctors improve their pronunciation of industry-specific jargon, and college students sharpen their social skills. Whether you’re a Spanish speaker aiming to refine professional or business English, or a Russian speaker looking to be better understood in daily conversation, I offer techniques and lesson plans designed for both structured, professional use and relaxed, real-world communication.

In addition to teaching, I’m a lifelong artist, musician, and traveler. I strongly believe in habit-based learning—using muscle memory, consistency, and repetition to make pronunciation improvement more realistic and less intimidating. Having lived abroad and learned other languages myself, I understand what it feels like to be misunderstood, and I bring that empathy and relatability into every lesson.

A typical lesson balances clear pronunciation theory with guided practice through reading and conversational, free-speaking exercises. Depending on your level, we may begin by focusing on written theory and sounds as defined by the IPA within regional English accents, or we may dive more heavily into practicing with these techniques in real time.

That being said, my lessons are tailored to each student individually —from professionals who need polished, workplace-ready speech to learners who simply want to sound more natural in everyday conversations. Sessions can be highly structured and professional or relaxed and social, depending on your goals and learning style. I look forward to working with you!
