BOOST YOUR FLUENCY IN ENGLISH AND EXCEL IN THE CAREER YOU'VE TRAINED FOR
I'm Jane Birkenhead, English tutor and fluency coach
I specialize in English and communication services for international professionals, and exam preparation for TOEFL and IELTS candidates.
I live in Canada and I'm from Great Britain so I can help you with all aspects of North American and British English.
I give every client individual and personalized attention. Everyone learns differently and personalized tuition means faster progress.
Over the past 20 years, hundreds of non-native English speakers have studied with me to improve their English fluency, pass exams, and move forward with confidence in their careers.
Irma
Nurse, Spanish Speaker
You understood my weak points and you totally believed in me from the beginning.
You were so patient with me and you never gave up.
Hasnaa
Pharmacist, Arabic Speaker
You found my mistakes and gave me feedback so I wouldn't repeat them.
You told me, "Hasnaa we will change the way you study" and well, it was worth it.
Jane listened to my speaking and told me how to work on my weaknesses. She boosted my confidence and believed in me when I did not believe in myself and was about to give up on my dream.

I don't use AI for any of the writing on this website. These are my own thoughts and opinions, expressed using my own choice of words.
There is no doubt that AI has turned out to be incredibly useful for language learning - for both teachers and students. Depending on my clients' needs, I use a selection of AI tools and other technology. However, it's important to understand that AI is only a tool. It has limitations and can be unreliable.
AI is not a brain. It's just a data sorter. It's most effective when it's used as support for what you're doing and not as your only method of instruction.
Use AI tools to enhance your study experience, but check it carefully and make sure you get guidance from a human as well.
