“I understand, but I can’t speak.” One-on-one speaking lessons.

Your English is flawless on paper, but the words knot in your throat the moment it is your turn. What is missing is not knowledge; it is practice. With me you do not memorize rules, you speak.

Choosing your words

You can express a thought in different ways, depending on the conversation.

These expressions are not interchangeable in every situation. We look at who you are speaking to, the context and your tone, using the sentences you build in our lessons.

One expression

I think the same.

Another option, depending on context

We’re on the same page.

“We’re on the same page” means that you agree or share an understanding.

One expression

I think you are right.

Another option, depending on context

Makes sense. Fair enough.

Use “Makes sense” when something seems reasonable, and “Fair enough” when you accept a reason or explanation.

One expression

I understand you.

Another option, depending on context

I see where you’re coming from.

Use this expression to show that you understand someone’s point of view.

How lessons work

My method rests on three things: scenarios, pronunciation, analysis.

We work on all three together in every lesson, never separately. Without a scenario, pronunciation turns into memorization; without analysis, you keep repeating the same mistakes.

  1. Scenarios

    Scenarios from your own life

    Your upcoming meeting, the interview you are walking into, the city you are moving to. A lasting reflex forms on your own sentences.

    From your own life

    • The meeting you can’t avoid
    • The life you’re moving toward
    • The speaking exam

  2. Pronunciation

    American pronunciation

    Flap T, connected speech, dropped syllables, sentence rhythm. Not talent, but a system with clear rules.

    Not the way it is spelled

    • water
      wader

      A “t” between two vowels turns into a soft “d”.

    • what are you doing?
      whaddaya doin’?

      Linking: four words run together.

    • I got it
      I goddit

      Words do not separate the way they are written.

  3. Analysis

    Every lesson feeds the system

    The patterns you hesitated on and the sounds we corrected go on record; the next lesson is shaped around them.

    Your next lesson plan

    All three feed the scenario of your next lesson.

The analysis sets the scenario for your next lesson: the loop starts over every time.

Built around you

Your second month won’t look like your first.

The program does not march through a fixed book. The decisions are mine, not an algorithm’s; the system’s job is to forget nothing and put the practice you need in front of me at the right time. As you grow, the program levels up with you.

  1. Lesson pick

    I do not pull a ready lesson off the shelf. I look at the analysis from your last lesson and decide which scenario comes next.

  2. Tailoring

    I never leave the scenario as it is: I cut the parts that do not serve your goal, change the flow, and write you a new section when you need one.

  3. Preparation

    Before the lesson starts I prepare that day’s sentences, pronunciation work and questions. That way the lesson is spent speaking, not setting up.

  4. Live lesson

    We speak for fifty minutes. I note where you hesitated, which pattern you translated from Turkish and which sound we corrected, while the lesson runs.

  5. What stays

    The lesson ends, the record stays: corrections, notes and your homework are waiting in your portal. Your next lesson plan grows out of that record.

  • Corrections
  • Questions we covered
  • Finished sections
  • Lesson notes
  • The plan

These five lines live in your portal and grow with every lesson. I choose the next lesson from here, not from the library.

Second monthIn the second month, we follow the same steps, building on our work from previous lessons.

The lesson platform

From the lesson to the archive, everything lives on the platform I built.

No Zoom link, nothing to install. You open a browser; the lesson, the materials and the archive all sit in one place.

  1. No link hunting

    The moment the lesson starts, a bar appears on whatever page you are on. One click and you are in.

  2. The call is on the same page

    The camera window floats over the panel we are working on, and you choose where it sits.

  3. It stays after the lesson

    The module, the corrections and the homework stay in your account; you can go back any time.

Could you hold on to this for a second while I check the size?

Sure, take your time.

From your teacher:

Can you hold this a second?

Could you hold on to this for a second?

The first sentence is also correct. In the second, “could you” softens the request; “hold on to” means to keep holding something for a while.
