Jackie Hamod - English tutors in Calgary
Hello! I’m Jackie Hamod, an English teacher and pronunciation coach with over 8 years of international teaching experience. I’ve worked with learners from more than 20 countries—helping them improve their confidence, fluency, and accuracy in English for both personal and professional growth.
My teaching style is interactive, encouraging, and customized. I understand that every student learns differently, so I design lessons around your goals and learning style. Whether you want to speak more naturally, prepare for an interview, or sound more fluent in everyday conversation, I’ll create a step-by-step plan that works for you.
During my years of teaching, I’ve specialized in spoken English, pronunciation, and communication skills. I help my students understand the rhythm and music of English—the stress, linking, and intonation that make native speakers sound smooth and confident. You’ll not only learn the rules, but also how to apply them in real-life situations. Many of my students notice a big difference in how they sound after just a few lessons!
In addition to pronunciation, I teach grammar, vocabulary, listening, and fluency development through practical, topic-based lessons. My classes are full of meaningful conversation, guided correction, and clear explanations that help you understand why English works the way it does. I believe learning a language should be enjoyable, not stressful. That’s why I focus on creating a friendly, motivating atmosphere where you feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes—because that’s how real learning happens.
Above all, I want you to leave every class feeling proud of your progress and excited for the next step. My goal is simple: to help you speak English with confidence, clarity, and personality.
