English language consultant

Lisa from Merivale

If English is your second language, chances are you speak English with an accent. Is this an issue? No, of course not, unless your listener can't understand you. You know when that happens- your listener leans in a bit with a 'look' that tells you they aren't following what you're saying. Or, worse, they tell you to forget it and that it doesn't matter. If this is your experience, you could be missing out on jobs or promotions and your confidence will be suffering. This is your chance to change things. My name is Lisa and I am a qualified English language teacher with 30 years experience and have my own language school based here in Christchurch. Call me on 022 010 5288 for a chat about how I can help you. We can set up a free initial online consultation and I'll explain what is happening when you speak, why it's happening, and what you can do about it. I can help you to regain your confidence or aim for that promotion or new job.

What colour are the stairs?
