About Naomi

Hello! I'm a bilingual HR professional with five years of experience who loves teaching English and Spanish in my free time. My career has given me a deep understanding of effective communication, and I'm passionate about sharing this knowledge to help others become confident speakers. Whether you're looking to improve your skills for your career, for travel, or just for fun, I'm here to help you on your language journey.

About the lesson

My core teaching philosophy is that the best way to master a language is to use it. My approach is centered on creating a relaxed, supportive, and engaging environment where students can build confidence through active conversation. I share my knowledge not through rigid grammar drills, but through organic, real-world dialogue.

My primary technique is "conversational immersion," where we dive into topics that are relevant and interesting to you. I don't just ask questions; I actively participate in the conversation, demonstrating natural fluency, proper tone, and useful idioms. This allows you to learn by example and correct yourself in a natural context.

To help you elaborate on your ideas, I use a variety of techniques:
---> Active Listening and Clarification: I focus on understanding your meaning first. If you struggle to find a word or phrase, I'll provide gentle nudges and suggestions rather than an immediate correction, encouraging you to finish your thought.

---> Vocabulary Expansion: We will identify and discuss new vocabulary that arises naturally from our conversations. I'll help you integrate new words and phrases into your everyday speaking.

---> Role-Playing: For more specific needs, such as a job interview or giving a presentation, we can role-play to practice specific scenarios and build confidence.

---> Cultural Context: We will discuss the social context of certain phrases and expressions, ensuring you not only speak correctly but also sound natural and confident in social settings.

A Typical Lesson Plan (60 Minutes)
Warm-up (10 minutes): We'll start with a relaxed chat about recent social events, pop culture, or your day. This helps you get comfortable and warmed up in the language while I assess your current comfort level and identify areas we can focus on.

The Main Topic (35 minutes): We'll dive into a deeper conversation about a pre-selected topic or a recent social event. I'll provide prompts and engaging questions to encourage you to share your thoughts, opinions, and stories. The focus here is on fluency, not perfection.

Review and Feedback (10 minutes): We'll review the key takeaways from our conversation. I'll provide constructive feedback on your pronunciation, grammar, and word choice, and we'll recap any new vocabulary. I will provide a summary of our key points to ensure you can revisit them later.

Wrap-up (5 minutes): We'll quickly set a plan for our next lesson, including a new topic and any specific areas you want to improve on.

My background as a five-year HR professional is my greatest asset. My entire career has been built on effective communication, active listening, and providing constructive feedback. I've spent years helping individuals feel confident in their communication, whether it's for a job interview, a presentation, or a team meeting. This experience has honed my ability to identify communication barriers and help people overcome them with patience and clarity. I understand that language is more than just grammar; it's about building connections and expressing yourself confidently, and that is what I am here to help you do.

My lessons are designed for intermediate to advanced students of English or Spanish who want to move beyond grammar and textbook exercises. These lessons are ideal for people who want to sound more natural and fluent in social situations. Need to practice for professional events like presentations, interviews, or meetings. Are living or traveling abroad and want to gain confidence in everyday interactions, or simply want to enjoy a conversation and feel more confident in a new language.
