Tutor Information
About
Do you want to improve your pronunciation, reduce your accent, and sound more natural when speaking English?
My Name is Aaron and I am a Cambridge CELTA-certified ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher and professional accent-reduction trainer.
I started teaching in 2010 and have taught adult learners from around the world at language schools in New Zealand, Vietnam, Canada, and now online. I am a New Zealand-born native speaker and neutralized Canadian Citizen.
Have you reached a point in learning English where you now struggle to make any more progress? Maybe you can communicate alright but people still misunderstand you or you often have to repeat yourself.
Or are you at an elementary or intermediate level and need help understanding how to use grammar and how to pronounce difficult sounds such as /th/, /r/, /l/, /v/, /f/, /z/, and final consonants?
I can help you identify exactly what you need to improve, and show you how to improve it!
My lessons focus mainly on pronunciation, accent reduction, speaking/conversation skills, grammar, and vocabulary. They are designed and customized for your specific needs and will give you the confidence you need to succeed.
Here is what you can expect during your lessons:
- A complete crash course in English pronunciation
(phonetics, word/sentence stress, intonation, rhythm, connected speech/linking and sound change, substitution and ellipsis, reduction and omission, voiced/voiceless consonants, consonant clusters, silent letters, grammatical endings -s/-es/-ed, thought groups, focus words)
Also:
- Guided drilling and repetition of difficult words/phrases
- Speaking and conversation with error correction
- Grammar instruction and how to apply it in the real world
- Vocabulary building + slang, idioms and colloquial language
- Fluency skills
- Effective homework tasks that will give you results
If you would like to make a change and advance your English, I invite you to book a trial!
