About Gwen
I have taught English as a Second Language online for the past three years, with a particular focus on building conversational confidence, and perfecting an "American / Canadian English" accent. I have extensive experience and understanding of phonetics and phonology, which helps me work with students to perfect difficult sounds, and sound out new words accurately and confidently. I'm all about making learning fun & building a space where you feel comfortable making mistakes (which, spoiler: helps you learn even faster!), and building independence.

As someone who learned a second language up to bilingual proficiency, I understand how daunting and intimidating the process can be. I know firsthand that the best way to learn is to take a leap of faith and just SPEAK! Therefore, I teach with specific focus on building my students' confidence with focused, real-world conversational practice. I always specifically encourage complete-sentence speaking (ex. "Yes, I like cats. No, I don't want to eat a banana"), rather than simple answers (ex. "yes / no / red / what?"). By encouraging students to always speak with complete sentences, they build an innate and practical instinct and understanding of English grammar, that helps them quickly speak more fluently and confidently. I love encouraging students to express their personalities, relax, and have fun! Getting my students to feel comfortable is always a big focus, because it encourages them to take more risks and speak more! The more you speak, the faster you master a language. And I work with students to help them physically see how English sounds are pronounced and produced. By guiding them to think of the physical way they can make certain sounds, students are able to master challenging sounds more quickly. And this helps them speak with more confidence, too!

Perfect! I had my very first lesson with Gwen; she is extremely friendly and warm. She has such a beautiful, welcoming presence and a great personality. It was a pleasure to meet and talk with her, and I am very much looking forward to having more lessons with Gwen.
Perfect! Gwen is an amazing teacher. Always on time with her big smile, her empathy and her desire to help us. She is able to put us at ease from the beginning and helps us to work on our weaknesses. My confidence and my pronunciation have already improved. I would recommend her without any doubt, I know you will love her.
- Mélanie is motivated, joyful, and eager to learn and improve. She takes initiative to seek out various resources on her own to practice her English (books, tv shows), and is very receptive to feedback. She is also very fun to talk with, making class fly by! :)Gwen's response :

Gwen is a phenomenal language teacher. Very patient, knowledgeable and passionate about helping others improve in their goals. Highly recommended.
Gwen is an excellent communicator, giving clear, easy to understand instructions with admirable patience. Her positive and supportive manner builds confidence and creates a happy atmosphere.
Gwen was awesome! She was capable of really precisely targeting problems in both my grammar and pronunciation, and gave me solutions for each of them. My improvements have been extraordinarily quick with her help. It was easy to see how competent she is, because she gave me easy and immediately useful tips that nobody had given me before, all while making me feel comfortable and encouraging me talking and practicing.
