My goal is to help you reach your goals! I am a native speaker with over 25 years teaching experience, including extensive experience coaching people to become better public speakers. I have worked with hundreds of Language Learners from China, Russia, Belarus, Mongolia, Egypt, Brazil, Japan, Taiwan, Mauritania, Korea, Peru, Germany and Mexico, many of whom work in the tech industry. In total, during the last 10 years, I have held over 6,000 online sessions. I enjoy helping people with accent reduction, understanding colloquial, idiomatic usage of language, interpreting theory, small talk skills and articulation/pronunciation challenges. I am patient and have a good sense of humor. I want you to do most of the talking so that you get lots of practice! I always come to the session with materials that you can keep. We add to the materials during the session so that you have a record of what you want to work on.
Having lived in several cultures, I have a true understanding of the challenges facing language learners. During my sessions, you will talk extensively, do role-play and work hard, but you will also experience empathy, patience, humor and compassion. My goal is to help you reach your highest potential during sessions that are both enjoyable and impactful. I want you to find great value in your investment.
I also worked for 15 years as a Certified Legal Interpreter with the United States Courts (English/Spanish) and trainer of new interpreters, and consequently have an extensive background in communication related to legal jargon.
Please try a session with me. Looking forward to meeting you!

Public Speaking

Public Speaking

I have been attending public speaking workshops on a weekly basis for over 30 years. And not only have I spoken before large audiences, but I have coached well over hundreds of learners as they prepared for Public Speaking. It has been my pleasure to help others improve their public speaking skills, including the following: creating great introductions, perfecting pausing and eye contact, deciding what content to include and how to best format it, modulation, poise, volume, intonation, motivating conclusions, etc. It would be a privilege to help you so that you can confidently deliver impactful presentation!

The last nine years I have worked online coaching ESL Learners in the Tech industry (engineers, data scientists, sales and data engineers). In my sessions we have worked on vocabulary building, grammar, articulation and accent, idioms and vocabulary and public speaking (or anything else the Learner would like to focus on). It would be my pleasure to help you achieve your goals also. Being bilingual, I can sympathize with the struggles of learning a second language, and so I endeavor to make my sessions fun but impactful.

Proofreading

I have a bachelor's degree in Language Learning and three TESOL certificates. My experience includes 25+ years as a teacher and nine years as an online language coach with hundreds of students from China, Russia, Brazil and Mexico. Part of my job has been to help individuals in the workplace create documents that will be read by thousands of coworkers in their organization. I have extensive experience identifying grammar and content issues, and my goal is to empower the writer to create documents that use an abundance of descriptive words and succinct sentences that accurately pinpoint the thinking of the content creator. I also wrote for a newspaper at one time. As a native Californian who has also lived in four countries, it would be a great pleasure to help you identify and reach your goals!

OUtstanding!

Wow, she is so on point, organized, and has so much to offer; she is very knowledgeable! Never met anyone so excellent in the field of accent reduction. I can't wait to see the progress down the road, as I have already made improvements beyond my expectation with one session. Also, it's a huge plus that she is very a nice, encouraging teacher!

An Exceptional Tutoring Experience

Sherri stands out as the finest tutor I've encountered. Despite having had a number of tutors previously, Sherri's approach is distinctively exceptional. In our initial session, she arrived fully prepared with well-organized slides. Throughout the session, she consistently adapted the material outline to align with my specific needs. Her attentive and meticulous listening enabled her to craft assignments tailored to my proficiency level and to directly address my long-term objectives. I highly recommend her!

I want to thank Sherri my English teacher. I feel very lucky that she is my teacher, and I would like to express my sincere gratitude for her professionalism and excellent work. Sherri truly inspires me with his energy and patience, I have significantly improved my knowledge of the English language. I could always turn to her for help with any questions I had, and he was always ready to give me useful advice and tips. I particularly liked how Sherri taught the material and making it understandable. I have become more confident in my knowledge of the English language, and she has really helped me to achieve my goals. I would definitely recommend my English teacher to anyone looking for a professional and patient teacher who will help them improve their knowledge of the English language.
