I’m looking for a patient online tutor who can help me build confidence in English speaking. My main focus is oral communication, and my long-term goal is to use English comfortably for academic purposes such as class discussions, presentations, and seminars. Right now I’m essentially starting from scratch, so I’ll need structured guidance on: • Pronunciation drills and clear enunciation • Everyday conversation practice that gradually introduces academic vocabulary • Simple role-plays that mirror classroom situations (asking questions, giving short talks, etc.) • Light grammar explanations only when they directly improve spoken fluency Please propose a lesson plan and suggest the tools you prefer (Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, or similar). Consistency matters to me, so indicate your recommended session length, frequency, and any materials you already use. The ideal tutor is encouraging, sets practical speaking tasks between lessons, and tracks progress so I can measure improvement over time.

Hello, I'd be glad to help you build confidence and fluency in spoken English for academic settings. As a native English speaker with 5 years of experience in Proofreading, Education & Tutoring, Research Writing, English Spelling, English Grammar, English Teaching, Language Tutoring, and Public Speaking Coaching, I understand exactly what's needed to take a beginner from hesitant to confident in academic spoken English. Proposed lesson plan structure: Weeks 1–2: Pronunciation fundamentals and clear enunciation drills, paired with simple everyday conversation to build comfort speaking aloud. Weeks 3–5: Gradual introduction of academic vocabulary within everyday conversation practice, plus light grammar explanations focused only on improving spoken fluency (not written accuracy). Weeks 6–8: Classroom-style role-plays — asking/answering questions, giving short talks, and mock discussions — to simulate real seminar and presentation scenarios. Ongoing: Practical speaking tasks between sessions, with progress tracked via a simple log so you can see measurable improvement. I recommend 2 sessions per week, 45–60 minutes each, via Zoom or Google Meet, whichever you prefer. I'm patient, encouraging, and focused on building real speaking confidence, not just theory. Looking forward to working together.

My name is Florencia Etchart and I am a certified English<>Spanish technical-scientific translator and editor from Argentina, native speaker of the Latin America variant with 14 years of working experience. I believe I am the suitable candidate to fulfill your English language needs since I have worked as English and Spanish coach for both Argentinean and American students for more than 5 years, always striving to reach their specific goals and build confidence while speaking. To cite a recent example, my current students are Rocío and Carolina, and during our virtual lessons, we speak about our daily lives, discuss global issues, prepare their business-related materials they need for their work (Spanish to English). I also helped Carolina pass a very difficult job interview that led her to the job of her dreams. My goal is to help you discover your potential and feel comfortable speaking the language, while we have fun reading, speaking, listening to audio materials, etc. No pressures! Your pace, your style and your preferences!

Your focus on building confidence in English speaking is spot on. It’s key for academic success. Starting from scratch means we can tailor every step, ensuring a solid foundation. One risk in your journey could be feeling overwhelmed by academic vocabulary. If we don’t pace it right, you might struggle to connect with your goals. This could slow your progress, making it harder to engage in class discussions or presentations. I’d start with pronunciation drills each session, grounding you in clear enunciation. Then, we’d gradually incorporate everyday conversations that introduce academic terms. Simple role-plays would be crucial for mirroring classroom scenarios, keeping things practical and relevant. In my experience, I often use structured lessons with consistent check-ins to track progress. I typically recommend 60-minute sessions twice a week, using Zoom for its ease. What’s your ideal target for improvement, and do you have any preferred materials to start with?
