23 English lessons

I'm a Japanese business man. I moved into the US six months ago and could not speak English fluently. Jeremy focused on teaching me English pronunciation and rhythm. I have studied English for over 15 years, however I have never practiced English rhythm. At first, I could not understand or enjoy it at all. Thanks to Jeremy's patience, my Japanese English like robots is improving a lot. Jeremy recommended me to record my own voice. (I did not like that.)
Dooyoung J.

41 English lessons

I'm learning English as a second language. I've learned English for more than 10 years but still very uncomfortable and feel shame and not confident. But the teacher gives me more confidence for English. I'm focused on conversation but learn grammar and writing skills too. Every time I bring a paper of writing in English, he corrects mistakes in terms of grammar and fluency. Recommend for students who are looking for proper English tutor.

In addition we had fun and discussed daily news. I highly recommend Sharon as your English tutor!
