Practice English 1-on-1 with Courtney Bailey — a Ph.D. candidate in English Language Learning, International Teacher Trainer, and Lecturer at the University of South Carolina, with deep experience teaching English across Turkey, the US, and globally through the U.S. Peace Corps. Courtney's speaking sessions go beyond casual conversation. With her expertise in language acquisition, intercultural communication, and English for international professionals, she creates sessions that are engaging, purposeful, and adapted to your specific communication goals. Whether you are preparing for an interview, practicing for professional presentations, or building everyday fluency, Courtney's sessions are informed by the latest research in language education.
