Details
Study 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 a proven record of designing and delivering English instruction across the US, Turkey, and internationally through the U.S. Peace Corps. Courtney's English study sessions are unlike anything offered by mass-market language platforms. With her M.Ed. in English to Speakers of Other Languages from Concordia University and her ongoing doctoral research in English Language Learning, she brings genuine academic expertise to every lesson. She does not just teach English — she understands the science of how people acquire it, and she uses that knowledge to make your progress faster and more durable. Her sessions are particularly valuable for professionals who need structured, goal-oriented improvement in their English. Whether you are preparing for a presentation, academic writing, a certification exam, or building the professional fluency to advance your career in an English-speaking environment, Courtney designs each lesson around your specific needs and level. As IEP Coordinator for NAFSA: Association of International Educators and an active member of TESOL International and the American Association for Applied Linguistics, Courtney is connected to the very latest thinking in language education. She brings that currency to every session she teaches on Nona Academy. Her work actively challenges the idea that only native speakers make good English teachers — she is living proof that expert, research-backed instruction produces better outcomes than native accent alone.
