About Shanna
I'm Shanna, a seasoned professional linguist and published author, boasting more than a decade of teaching experience in various cultural settings, including the U.S., Osaka, Japan, and Istanbul, Turkey. Holding a B.S. degree from the University of Hertfordshire and graduate credentials from St. John's University. I am a TEFL-certified expert holding certifications from 2012 and 2020. I have run a successful international language company, where I have been a corporate ESL Teacher, customizing corporate ESL, and foreign language training programs focused on accent reduction, grammar, and pronunciation in various industries to meet the needs of busy professionals from all around the world. Why am I the perfect tutor for you? Test Preparation (TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC): My proven methods and personalized test preparation strategies have consistently led to remarkable outcomes. Here's my latest student feedback from January 9, 2024: "I scored 115 on the TOEFL after 2 months of studying with you. I'm so happy. There are no words to express my gratitude" I have taught thousands of hours of English to dozens of students over the past decade and consider myself to be an expert in the ESL industry. Whether you're aspiring to gain acceptance into top schools or aiming for publication success, I offer meticulous proofreading to enhance the clarity, coherence, and overall quality of your written work. My teaching approach is all about making language learning, interactive, and engaging. To keep you motivated, boost your confidence, and, most importantly, foster a genuine love for the English language. Teaching, for me, is not just a profession; it's woven its way into my entire existence. In our first lesson, we'll identify your areas of improvement, set goals, and collaboratively design a learning plan. I'm excited about the prospect of helping you achieve your English language goals. Feel free to reach out to schedule a lesson, and let's embark on this language-learning journey together.
