ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE — CUSTOM MADE FOR PROFESSIONALS

Based on my longstanding tutoring, my ability to train staff in many ways, and a certification from Oxford Seminars in teaching English as a second language, I served for several years as a subcontractor for some multi-national corporations (FHUS, Cintra, Apple, The University of Texas at Austin). My specialty is in helping professionals polish their English in order to function optimally in their professional environments. The ability to enter into discussions about high level tech, accounting, management, banking and so forth is NOT something that most English teachers do.

PRAISE FOR SHARON’S WORK IN EXECUTIVE ESL:

Gonzalo de Pedro, Head of Accounting Ferrovial Holdings, US ; I would like to recommend Sharon Sarles. She was my English tutor for 2 years. She worked for a contractor that served the multi-national holding company where I was handling accounting.

She was reliable in coming at appointed times. She was easy to work with. Sometimes we had to re-arrange schedules to accommodate my company’s meetings. She was inventive, flexible and diligent in meeting her students’ English needs. Surely, she knew enough about English to teach it. I thought her book about English spelling patterns was a valuable document.

She tried to make the lessons fun and useful. I felt comfortable about asking her about my doubts about English and working on situations where maybe I was not understood. Even our little chats about weekend travel were English practice. I felt we had a friendly relationship.”

David Yllana, IT Project Manager at FHUS : Please let me recommend you hire Sharon Sarles. She has been my English tutor for almost two years now. I was not happy with two previous tutors [ed: actually he made them cry and I was the contractor’s last resort], but I felt Sharon was able and willing to help me with my lacks in English and move me to a higher level.

I felt we had a warm relationship. We spoke about my children’s schooling. Then we spoke about what I I might discuss in an job interview. We had fun arguing about politics. I think she was patient with me. I definitely am more comfortable with my English now.

I was also surprised that she was building funnels – more my field of IT. I applaud her venture. It tells me she continues to learn and try new things.

Sharon was punctual, reliable, and flexible. I’m sure you will enjoy to work with her in whatever teaching or training job.

Bea Deldago Salano (wife of Cintra employee) I had have the privilege to have Sharon Sarles as a teacher from April 2017 to February 2018.

She was a wonderful teacher, flexible with the times and dates. I have three children, and during her classes I had my third one. Sometimes I had my son with me during her classes and she was always patient and friendly with my kids and with me.

She taught me English well enough to get by in Austin when I arrived for the first time here, especially with my pronunciation. She also helped me with my doubts about my new life.

I think Sharon is a great teacher with people of all ages and has a positive attitude to teach simple concepts and advanced topics. For all this I recommend her.

We can certainly review grammar, study phrasal verbs and collocations, but the real time correction, the answering questions, and the flexibility of language for professional and personal situations is my specialty.

Forthcoming will be an online course for new arrivals. However, you may contact me for individual help. ssarles@protonmail.com .

We are finding that online sessions, with good microphone works at least as well as in-person. In-person available in the north Austin metro area. Teams, Skype, or Free Conference Call works well. Facetime might work if your screen is large enough.
