About Me

Are you worried that people don’t understand you? Are you worried that you’re not saying the right words and you’re not saying what you really mean? On top of that, are you also worried and frustrated because you don’t think you’re fully understanding what other people say to you?

Are you embarrassed because it takes you too long to think of the right words and you can’t think of the right words to say what you really mean?

Then you’re in the right place. I can help you.

Do you want to express yourself more clearly and fully? Do you want to know that you’re saying what you mean to say? Would you like to understand other people better when they’re talking to you?

And do you want a clear path so you can see improvement and be successful? In other words, do you want to know what you need to focus on to reach your goals effectively and efficiently?

I'm Dixie, and I’ve taught hundreds of students just like you here on Verbling. I'm a professional language teacher and conversationalist. My authentic, guided conversations are tailored to you. So you can be certain that your goals are met.

Who are my lessons for? My lessons are for you if:

✦ you want to improve your conversation skills and speak English fluently and confidently with colleagues, native speakers, and others

✦ you want to have USEFUL conversations about relevant topics related to everyday life, work, and English

✦ you want to refine your pronunciation so you can be easily understood and more easily understand us native speakers!

✦ you want a conversation teacher who will keep you MOTIVATED

✦ you want to see PROGRESS, feel SUCCESSFUL, and reach your GOALS!

If this is you, I'd be delighted if you booked a trial lesson with me.

🔔 Please Note 🔔
● Trial lessons are 25 minute long
● Regular lessons are 50 minutes long
(I use the remaining time to take notes about our trial/lessons so I can personalize them and give you the best experience possible. Having this time also means that I can start and end each lesson professionally).

My trial lessons

In our trial, I’ll ask about your English goals and I'll also ask some everyday introductory questions so we can get to know each other. I’ll tell you about the structure of my conversation lessons, and I'll show you how I tailor lessons to suit you and your needs. I’ll wind up our trial by showing you how to get started taking lessons with me.
