About
Hi! I'm Janine
the AmericanEnglishCoach
I have been an English Instructor for adult students for over twenty years. I have learned two foreign languages to the point of fluency, Swahili and Spanish. I've taught English online via Skype to students living on every continent in the world. Most of my students are Brazilian or Russian. I actually don't know the reason for this, but it has made me especially good at helping Brazilians and Russians! I have also coached many Spanish, Chinese and Vietnamese speakers and others.
My original website, started in the spring of 2010. You can learn more about me and my ideas on language learning on and in the Language Learning Forum on this site. Check out the Forum to learn from other students and post your own language learning tips!
This site is for students interested in immersion, or who can at least make a commitment to spend the time necessary to make rapid progress. If you are such a student, click to schedule an appointment and I will give you a free trial lesson of twenty minutes.
Immersion: regarding language learning, immersion means the exclusive use of the target language
I learned Swahili and Spanish with the immersion method. I lived in East Africa for a year and in Guatemala for six months. That was before the Internet was available. Think about it. With the Internet, you can learn English without leaving home and still come close to the immersion method!
It used to be necessary to go to an English speaking country to immerse yourself in the language and learn rapidly. Nowadays, with the Internet, you can achieve immersion with private lessons, YouTube videos, English learning websites, chat rooms, forums, movies and TV. Interested?

without thinking about it.

Lessons accordingto your needs
Although I don't believe grammar study alone is a good way to learn a language, it is good to check your grammar from time to time and correct mistakes before they become hard habits to break..
Test Preparation
IELTS or TOEFL
We'll focus on the speaking and
writing sections of the test and
practice until you are confident.
We'll talk about how to do your
best on the listening and reading
portions of the test.
