Academic English Speaking Coach -- 2

Budget: $15 - $25/hr

I’m ready to move my English from casual conversation to confident, clear public speaking in an academic setting. My main goal is to deliver research presentations, participate in seminars, and handle Q-and-A sessions without hesitation.

Here’s what I need from you: • A patient tutor who can break down advanced pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation so I sound natural and authoritative. • Session plans that focus on the public-speaking cycle—from structuring an argument and writing concise slides to rehearsing delivery and managing nerves. • Practical, academic-style speaking drills: mini-lectures, poster-session pitches, and impromptu responses to typical audience questions. • Consistent, actionable feedback on clarity, pacing, vocabulary, and body language, ideally supported by short recorded snippets or live screen-sharing.

I’m expecting a brief diagnostic in the first meeting, a roadmap outlining weekly objectives, and measurable checkpoints so we can track improvement. If you have experience coaching non-native speakers for conferences, thesis defenses, or classroom instruction, please highlight it.

Let’s create a learning environment that turns my ideas into polished, persuasive spoken English.
