Scottie Spurzem - The English Language Coach

I am the English Language Coach.  I help international business people communicate more effectively and comfortably in American English.  I do this virtually or in person in the San Francisco Bay Area.

As a native speaker of American English, a CELTA certified teacher and a former Investor Relations Consultant, I help people gain the confidence needed to improve and master their conversations, presentations, emails et al in English.

Accent management is key to intelligibility and thus pronunciation training has become a primary focus of my personalized sessions.  I focus on helping my clients learn how our language system works and then how to put it into action with relevant vocabulary, correct pronunciation, grammar and interpersonal nuances.

I work with business professionals, doctors, entrepreneurs and graduate students either in one-on-one coaching or in small group sessions virtually or in person in the San Francisco Bay Area.

MY STORY:

After retiring from investor relations consulting and following my passion to teach English as a second-language, I started teaching part-time at different language schools. I soon realized that many people trying to learn English need help with only a few specific things, which I tend to identify quickly. I've begun my English Language Coaching to do just that. I focus on accent reduction and topic-specific vocabulary to help non-native speakers quickly and intelligibly speak American English.
