I'm 100% sure that I can help you! 💪🚀
Over the years I have worked with actors, politicians, entrepreneurs, musicians... I mean you name it. 🎭🎤🕴️
I'm the right fit for you if you want to sound better, more confident, and nail every aspect of our language! 🗣️💼
🌟𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐍𝐓 & 𝐅𝐋𝐔𝐄𝐍𝐂𝐘 𝐂𝐎𝐀𝐂𝐇 (𝐀𝐌𝐄𝐑𝐈𝐂𝐀𝐍 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐈𝐒𝐇)🌟

𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓𝐒 𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐌𝐄:
• I'm a certified TEFL English Teacher. 🎓✅
• I graduated from Law School in 2013. ⚖️📚
• I studied Human Behavior Psychology and Linguistics. 🧠📘

𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐅 𝐌𝐘 𝐁𝐄𝐋𝐈𝐄𝐅𝐒 𝐀𝐒 𝐀 𝐓𝐄𝐀𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐑:
• You’ll learn 𝘈 𝘓𝘖𝘛 better when you’re interested! 🧠🧐
• Nothing works better than 𝘌𝘕𝘎𝘈𝘎𝘐𝘕𝘎 & 𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘗𝘌𝘓𝘓𝘐𝘕𝘎 classes. 🤝📢
• Language is best taught when it is being used to transmit messages, NOT when it is explicitly taught for conscious learning. That’s why trying to memorize a long list of words or trying to learn English simply by learning grammar doesn’t work! 🤔📖
• You’ll learn faster when you are in a Low Anxiety Environment. The reason why I’ll ALWAYS make you feel as comfortable as possible during our classes! And also because I’m super nice! Just kidding! 😄🌼
• I’ll use whatever it takes to make you understand what I mean. Videos, Music, Jokes, ANYTHING!! 🎥🎵🎉
𝐀𝐁𝐎𝐔𝐓 𝐌𝐘 𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐒𝐒𝐄𝐒:
We have an atmosphere of safety, trust, and support. 🤗🤝
You are not by yourself, we’re playing together as a team and supporting each other. 🤝👥
You are allowed to make mistakes, they often lead to the best bit in language learning. 🙌💡
You can say the first thing that comes to you, you don’t have to edit yourself, as long as you are coming from a place of fun, love, and respect. ❤️🗨️🤣
𝐒𝐎𝐌𝐄 𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐌𝐄𝐓𝐇𝐎𝐃𝐒 𝐈 𝐔𝐒𝐄:
• Comprehensible Input 🧠📥

• Total Physical Response 🏃♂️💃
• Improv Comedy Exercises 🎭😂
• Conversation Classes (I bring up some weird topics sometimes! But don’t worry! I’m harmless! 😊) 🗨️🤪
• Accent Reduction Exercises 🗣️🎯
• Language Acquisition 🌍📚
𝐇𝐎𝗪 𝐈 𝗪𝐎𝐑𝐊:
I’ve never been a huge fan of traditional methods, which is usually what we see out there…
This idea of learning a language through grammar, and thinking that you will reach fluency like that, just NEVER made much sense to me. 🚫📚
What I actually believe, is immersing yourself in a language and, before you ask me, you 𝘋𝘖𝘕’𝘛 need to live in an English-speaking country to do that. I can show you EXACTLY how to do that from the comfort of your own place. 🏡🌍
And the best thing is that, as your English Coach, I will support you through your entire fluency journey. 🤝🚀
We’ll have live sessions every week but we’ll also be in constant touch because I believe that this is the best way for you to become fluent and acquire any language. 📅📱
𝐍𝐎𝗪, 𝐓𝐄𝐋𝐋 𝐌𝐄 𝐇𝐄𝐑𝐄…
Can you imagine yourself speaking English with an American accent, no grammar mistakes, fluent as you’ve never imagined before? 🇺🇸🗨️🚀
I mean, 𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 just feels right…
• You’re fluent & confident. 🗣️💪
• You’re able to express yourself EXACTLY the way you want. 🗨️🎯
• No one ever asks you to repeat yourself because they just “didn’t understand you”. 🙅♂️🗨️
Too good to be true? 😄🌟
Well, what if I tell that it’s possible and it’s a LOT easier than you think? 🤔🚀
The truth is that most people choose the wrong methods to learn. 📚🚫
People usually go for the old grammar-based method, which not only doesn’t work but it also makes you extremely disappointed with yourself. 😞📚
So disappointed that most people give up and adopt the “I’m not capable. I will never be fluent” mindset. 🤦♂️🚫
Well, today is the day that everything will change for you. 🌟🚀
𝐒𝐀𝐘 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃𝐁𝐘𝐄 𝐓𝐎:
• Endless grammar classes that don’t take you anywhere. 📚🚫
• Cookie cutter methods that don’t take your personal skills into consideration. 🍪📚
• Years and years of hard-earned money thrown down the drain. 💰🚽
TODAY IS THE DAY you can choose a different path for you and your English. 🗨️🚀
𝐒𝐨, 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐨:
• Sound clear and confident when you speak English 🗣️👌
• Improve your fluency 🚀🗨️
• Improve your accent 🗣️🎯
• Improve your pronunciation 🗣️👅
• Become an independent learner 📖🚀
• Find your American voice 🇺🇸🗨️
Make sure to 𝐒𝐂𝐇𝐄𝐃𝐔𝐋𝐄 𝐀 𝐒𝐄𝐒𝐒𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝗪𝐈𝐓𝐇 𝐌𝐄 so we can come up with an action plan together! 📋🤝
See ya soon! 👋🚀

What is your favorite word in your language and why?
"Sibilance." As a dialect coach, I spend half my life chasing the exact physics of how air hisses across the teeth, whether it’s the crisp, dental s of Madrid, the whistling s of a Midwesterner, or the soft, disappearing s of Caribbean Spanish. Plus, the word itself is a tiny onomatopoeia; you can’t say "sibilance" without demonstrating it.
-
What is your favorite dish from your hometown? If you no longer live there is there a good local restaurant that serves it?
Nothing beats a classic, charred carne asada street taco from a sidewalk stand in East LA, double corn tortilla, cilantro, raw white onion, and a smoky salsa roja that makes your forehead sweat. Since I’m still based right here in Los Angeles, I don't have to miss it; I just follow the smell of mesquite smoke down Olympic Boulevard or hit up Ave 26 Tacos in Little Tokyo whenever a craving strikes.
-
Besides the languages you teach, do you speak or study any other languages?
Because dialect coaching is essentially applied phonetics, I end up picking up "phonetic fluency" in a lot of languages even if I can't order dinner in them. Beyond English and Spanish, I’ve spent a lot of time studying the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), which feels like its own secret language, and I’m currently dabbling in French and Portuguese just to keep my ear sharp for nasal vowels and tricky uvular r sounds.
-
What are your interests outside of teaching at Strommen?
Music and sound are basically my whole world. When I'm not coaching dialects, I’m usually behind a drum kit, picking up my guitar, or messing around on the piano, playing multi-instrumentally is honestly the best ear-training there is for picking up the rhythm and melody of different accents. I also work in voice-over, which lets me put all that vocal geekery into practice behind a mic. Outside of the studio, I’m a massive film buff (yes, I’m the friend who pauses movies to critique an actor's vowel placement), and you can usually find me hiking the trails in Griffith Park or digging through vinyl crates at Amoeba.
-
What do you consider your hometown? Why do you love it?
Los Angeles, through and through. For someone obsessed with how people speak, LA is the ultimate linguistic playground, you can walk four blocks and hear Armenian, Tagalog, Spanish, Korean, and three different regional varieties of American English before you even get to your coffee shop. It’s sprawling, chaotic, sun-drenched, and constantly reinventing itself, just like the accents of the people who live here.
