Private Programs

Private Conversation Practice Program

This program is a private classroom session focusing on the technical aspects of language and communication skills based on topics of the clientsf choice. Additionally, the session offers clients learning opportunities (and often times coping mechanisms) to develop their skills for adjusting to American culture and their new surroundings. All lessons are private and tailored to suit our clients' particular needs and level of English. Through conversation, our instructors work with clients in speaking and listening and learning correct sentence structures, pronunciation, and more.

Many non-native English speakers complain that they understand English (grammar), but are not confident enough to jump in a conversation. Reasons for are:

  • ESL students or non-native English speakers are trying to translate from their native language into English.

  • ESL students or non-native English speakers are looking for a big and specific word, rather than using simple language to describe what they like to describe.

  • There are not enough conversation opportunities in or outside of the class at their ESL school.
  • The strategy of improving speaking skills is to speak, converse, and talk as much as you can!
