Jakarta - English Tutor for Professional / Business / Career or Vocational Level

If you speak a little bit of English, but need to polish or refine your language and conversational skills for business, professional, career or vocational purposes; I can put together a conversation-based syllabus and tutoring program for you.

You will be learning from a native born college educated and professional level United States (American) citizen speaker and writer.  American English is by far the clearest form of the English language spoken anywhere in the world and is the clearest for annunciation and diction.   For a discussion of American vs. UK vs. Australian vs. Canadian or other "dialect" of the English language see my related article.

Each session is for a duration of 90 minutes (1.5 hrs) and charges vary depending on location and transportation to/from students residence or place of business.  I am located in Bogor (Sentul City), but can make arrangements to accommodate a student residing or working in other areas of the Greater Jakarta Metropolitan area.  

If distance is an issue, we can also take advantage of today's technologies and conduct a session by Skype (video or voice) conferencing or use of one of the instant messaging programs to communicate with each other.      

Your program would be custom tailored to your individual needs or objectives; but generally,  the core emphasis in this type of syllabus would include study in areas or concentrations such as:
  • Language functions (10%) – focus on the purpose for which speech or writing is being used; i.e. introducing ourselves, expressing needs & likes, asking questions, expressing & supporting opinions; describing people, places & things, professional or business context, etc
  • Sample dialogs in various contexts tailored to student’s needs (45%)
  • Vocabulary practice (25%)
  • Grammar review (20%)
