Your instructor, Stania Zbela, is an experienced ESL teacher who also brings her professional coaching skills to the learning environment. She accommodates each student’s individual style, capability and preference. The student sets the agenda as to the area of study: academic, business, professional specialization, or everyday usage.
Stania creates the appropriate lesson structure, provides the content when necessary, and grounds the study in a functional context. For cultural support, Stania will also guide students to relevant material from a wide variety of real world and virtual sources.
Lessons provide a comprehensive foundation of grammar skills, their application and correct usage in conversation and writing, vocabulary building, reflective listening, speaking development, correct pronunciation, and ample exposure to common cultural expressions and idioms.
