Classes

                 In my classes, all of my students have fun, are relaxed, and learn lots.

Basic Information


All of my classes are one-on-one, online, and interactive. Teacher and students engage and learn together.

Each class is 25 minutes long. My classes are individualized to meet the needs of each student.

 

Available Classes

Spread Light English Fundamentals class

This class is for 9 to 13 year old’s who are learning English and for adults who are reviewing the fundamentals of English. All lessons are one-on-one. My curriculum is tailored to each student’s level and learning needs.

 

 

 

Spread Light Conversations class

 In this class, we talk!
This is the perfect class for those who want to maintain and expand their English-speaking skills. It is also excellent preparation for taking the IELTS or TOELF tests.

 

Spread Light IELTS Speaking Test Prep

In this class, we will practice part 1, part 2 and part 3 of the speaking section of the IELTS test. Of course, these are not the questions used on the actual test, but they are very similar. I will also give tips on what the examiner will want to hear during that test.

“Tutor Barbara is an excellent tutor. She is calm, attentive, helps in correcting the pronunciation. She is super interested in guiding me to drive correctly–at 46, I am getting my first driver’s license. She does an excellent job helping me to raise my level in English. I recommend her.”
Amy, 9 years old
from China
“Barbara is a wonderful teacher！ I like to talk with her, and I especially like it when she guides my writing! She helped me write about my wonderful, new toy.”
Mitt
from Finland
“This was the best class I’ve ever had. I was very depressed when I went to Teacher Barb’s class. By the end of the class, I felt very calm and peaceful. I knew that I had improved my English and would continue to improve.”
Bob
from Italy
Teacher Barb is an excellent teacher. She is very easy to talk with. She politely pushes me to talk, to take part in the conversation. Our conversations are always useful and pleasant. She has a vast knowledge of many subjects and willingly shares what she knows.
