Online tutoring: Learn through conversation and personalized content
/äzˈmōsəs/
noun
(in plants) The movement of water molecules through a semipermeable membrane
(in people) The gradual or unconscious absorption of knowledge
The Method
Comprehensible input means consuming content that is slightly above your current level, so you understand a lot, but not all of it. It works because the content appears in context, and is relevant and compelling.
We'll train how your brain processes and produces language through 50-minute guided sessions where we read and think through content out-loud.
Books, articles, and social media that native speakers consume.
Grammar and vocab stick because they appear in context.
Practice thinking and speaking by analyzing new information in real time.
Curated content to help you maintain your own voice in English.
Teacher
Hi, I'm Emily!
I'm a native English speaker, based in New York, with over 14 years of experience teaching.
I'll help you learn how to say what you want to in exactly the way you want to say it.
Learning through conversation and comprehensible input feels different. From the very beginning we'll be having real conversations about things that matter to you.
In addition to tutoring, I work in product design and have a background in book publishing. I know that a good story is the key to learning. So I prioritize connecting learners with stories they'll love so the learning continues outside of our weekly sessions as well.
I think learning happens fastest when it doesn't feel like work. And finding your voice in another language is the fun part. So whether you're hoping to advance your career, apply to school, or just travel, I'll help you close the gap between what you say and what you mean.
I'll see you soon, bye!

Questions
Spanish speakers: Sessions are mostly in English, but I can adapt based on your level so you understand easily and start speaking in English from day one.
Other languages: Yes, sessions are entirely in English, but we'll move at your pace so it never feels overwhelming.
The best way to learn English is by using it in real contexts.
Learn English using:
You'll learn to speak English naturally without translating everything in your head by using content that applies to you.
Yes! But not in the traditional way. Instead of memorizing rules, you'll learn grammar in context through real content and conversation. The goal is to get you speaking and recognizing patterns.
For Spanish, I work with learners of all levels from beginner to advanced (A1-C2). We'll adapt the sessions so you can start understanding and speaking from day one, or improve your fluency if you already have experience.
For all other languages, this method will work best if you already have a basic foundation, around B1 level (you're able to have simple conversations about familiar topics). I've worked with French, Arabic, Ukrainian, Polish speakers and more.
If you're not sure of your level, book a free intro call and we'll figure it out together!
Each session is 50 minutes long.
We start with small talk so you can get comfortable speaking in both casual and professional settings. Then we read out loud together and chat about meaning, vocabulary, and cultural context.
The content is personalized for each student. We'll use content like:
Everything is customized for you and the structure is flexible so that we can adapt to your current goals, but the outcome is always the same, measurable progress in how you process and express yourself in English.
Rates range from 45–55 USD per session, depending on your goals.
New students receive an introductory rate of 35 USD per session during their first month (up to 4 classes).
Sessions are generally held Monday through Thursday, from 10am–7pm ET.
I'll share more details during our intro call.
1 class a week is extremely effective when it's paired with English content immersion and practice between sessions. Consistency matters more than anything else.
If you're looking for faster progress, students who take 2–3 classes per week tend to see the quickest results.
It depends but most students:
Total fluency takes time but you'll feel more natural and hesitate less much sooner than you expect, often within the first month of consistent sessions.
It's a casual 20 minute conversation where we talk about your goals, your current level, what works for you and what doesn't.
I'll also give a quick demo of how we'll engage with content together, so you can get a feel for how the sessions work.
