Welcome to Bigler English Coaching!

**My lessons are all online, all around the world!**

I’m Liz. It’s nice to meet you!

After many years of working with Japanese speakers, I started Bigler English Coaching to help Japanese learners around the world improve their English skills.

I offer customized learning plans according to the needs of each client, through private learning sessions (online or in-person). Sessions combine working with pronunciation and the rhythm and flow of English, as well as improving phrases and grammar as needed, in order to maximize effectiveness as a communicator. My specialized coaching helps my clients minimize the frustration of misunderstanding and being misunderstood in English.

I also offer Intensive Accent Modification Courses, which uncover the secrets of spoken English for Japanese speakers who are tired of having to repeat themselves for coworkers and other Americans. These courses are customized specifically for the problems that Japanese speakers of English typically have, including incorrect stress placement as well as incorrect production of individual sounds (R vs. L, work vs. walk, bag vs. bug, etc.)

Using a combination of methods and resources, including the revolutionary new “Color Vowel Chart” technique, I’ll help you become more easily understood and use the English that you already know more effectively.

Are you interested in courses for your company or business? I also offer presentations and training for corporate events, with a variety of topics related to English language learning and life in the US.
