Work Skills

In this sphere, we might work with role playing, scheduling, or mock negotiations.

"Tanja is one of the best teachers I've ever had. I took her classes and tutorial in 2017 and 2018 at SAIS at Johns Hopkins University. In academic English courses, her teaching style was very practical. For example, at my current consulting business, I'm still following the presentation style she taught us in her class. I know she spent a lot of time to prepare for our classes. I appreciate her detailed feedback and effort. Without her support, my school life would have been much harder."

"Tanja was my communications instructor at English for Heritage Language Speakers (EHLS) Certificate Program at Georgetown University in 2018. Tanja helped me analyze my strengths and weaknesses as a presenter and to improve my professional communications skills across all levels. Her curriculum was designed around the idea of refining presentations skills through various exercises and providing regular constructive feedback while analyzing my performance. Her training has helped me overcome my fear of public speaking, prepare and present professional briefings, and address any subsequent questions from the audience in an efficient manner. I often refer to her classroom material for guidance as I prepare briefings in my daily work functions. I highly recommend Tanja if you are looking for an outstanding coach to improve your professional career and communications skills!"
