Hello!

I’m Alannah from Cape Town. I coach students for PhD interviews, academic presentations, and job interviews with role play and real‑world practice. Passionate about pronunciation, stress, and intonation, I help learners of all levels speak clearly and confidently. My thought‑provoking conversation topics and friendly, supportive style quickly build rapport and fluency.

I specialize in coaching students for PhD application interviews, academic presentations, and job interviews—using role play and their own resumes to prepare them for real‑world success. My passion is pronunciation, stress, and intonation, helping learners of all levels speak with clarity and confidence. I design thought‑provoking conversation topics that encourage fluent self‑expression, while creating a friendly, supportive atmosphere. My students—from professionals to young advanced learners—grow in ability step by step, with positive feedback at every stage. Whether you need to master rebuttal questions, refine your grammar and listening skills, or simply maintain advanced fluency through free talk, I’ll guide you with expertise and encouragement.
