Gannon Tutor Profile
Hi there, my name is Gannon.
I’m a native English speaker with a background in linguistics, speech pathology, and professional communication. I help adult learners improve clarity, pronunciation, and confidence in real-world English — especially in professional and academic settings.
My approach is calm, structured, and practical. I focus on helping students communicate clearly and accurately, not just speak more.
⸻
Teaching Background
While my background is not in traditional classroom teaching, my training and experience are deeply rooted in language, communication, and applied English.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in both Linguistics and Communication Sciences & Disorders (speech pathology), along with a TESOL certification (2010) and TESOL recertification (2025). My academic training includes phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisition, and speech transcription, as well as anatomical studies and the neurophysiology behind speech production.
In addition, I spent over a decade working in the dental industry, including more than eight years owning and operating my own dental laboratory. This experience gave me extensive exposure to professional, technical, and client-facing communication, as well as collaboration with dentists, staff, and suppliers in high-precision environments.
Because of this background, I am especially effective at helping professionals, students, and advanced learners improve their spoken English for work, exams, and real-life communication — not just casual conversation.
⸻
Teaching Style
My teaching style is analytical, precise, and supportive. I tailor each lesson to the student’s goals, level, and communication needs.
A key strength of my approach is pronunciation training. I use linguistic tools such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to help students clearly understand and correct pronunciation patterns. With my background in speech transcription, I can identify specific sound errors and guide students toward measurable improvement.
Lessons may include:
•Pronunciation and accent clarity
•Listening and speaking accuracy
•Professional and workplace communication
•Academic or exam-related English
•Medical, dental, or technical English (when relevant)
•General conversation with structured feedback
I work best with motivated adult learners who want clear explanations, practical guidance, and steady improvement. My goal is to help students communicate with confidence, precision, and professionalism.
