I’m one of those Americans who actually enjoyed learning languages—I studied Spanish, French, and German in school, perfected my Spanish in Buenos Aires, and picked up Portuguese in Rio.

Even though I’ve called New York home for years, I’ve never stopped learning. Whether it’s Bengali or Hebrew, I love practicing new phrases with baristas and street vendors.

I know what it’s like to learn a new language.

That’s why I don’t just teach English—
I coach confidence.

I know firsthand real fluency isn’t just about grammar. It’s about having the courage to use English in real conversations—at work, in meetings, and in high-stakes presentations.

I’ll help you bridge the gap between knowing English and owning it.

Confident, Fluent Business English

  • “I took lessons with Louise to improve my English speaking because after many years of not practicing, I needed a refresh on basics. Plus, I needed time to just talk so I could become more fluent. At first, we practiced grammar to straighten out my questions and then classes were composed of listening comprehension, plus speaking and reading about a huge variety of topics. It has really helped in my work and private life as well. We worked on my accent a lot too – so important if you want to be understood and also to understand native speakers. ”

  • “Louise was the perfect English teacher to bring my English to the next level. I needed to improve my fluency and speak English more idiomatically. She helped me out providing constant feedback, reviewing just the grammar I needed and suggesting subtle changes in pronunciation that really made the difference. She is flexible with schedules and has many resources to cater each class to my requests, with magazines, articles, videos and lots of useful stuff. Above all, I really appreciate her commitment to my learning experience. ”

  • “I took Louise’s class in the last 3 years. She was so friendly and excellent English language consultant. She taught me not only basic grammatical and speaking mistakes among Japanese English speakers but also gave me a confidence and verbal strategy in business English in various situations. Highly recommend Louise for any professionals who are not native English speakers and who want to polish her/his English skills.”
