Friendly Native English Speaker for Casual Conversation Practice (3x/week)

Description: Hi! I'm looking for a native English speaker to help a student build confidence speaking English in everyday and social situations. The student already has a solid conversational base — this isn't about grammar drills or textbooks. The goal is simply to get comfortable, natural, and relaxed when speaking. What we're looking for: - Native speaker living in an English-speaking country (US, UK, Canada, Australia, NZ) - Clear, natural accent - Warm, fun, and genuinely interested in people - conversation should feel like chatting with a friend - Patient and non-judgmental. This matters more than teaching credentials. No corrections that make the student feel embarrassed. Details: - 3 sessions per week, 1.5 hours each (online, Zoom or Google Meet) - Flexible scheduling — student is in Vietnam (GMT+7), we can find times that work - Rate: $20/hour ($30 per session, ~$90/week) - Minimum 6-month commitment — we're looking for consistency, not a one-off To apply, please tell us: - Where you're from and where you currently live - A short note about what you'd talk about in a first session - A quick voice or video intro (even a 1-minute phone recording is fine - we'd love to hear your voice and energy) Shortlisted candidates will be invited to a short video call so we can chat and make sure it's the right fit. Teaching certificates are welcome but not required. Personality and attitude come first.
