My experience with Ma'am Barera Quadri's Conversational English skill course had been phenomenal. In a diverse class, with peers as young as 14 and as old as 50, it seemed nearly impossible to learn all levels of this skill but Ma'am Barera Quadri strategically catered us all. Her intriguing activities and brainstorming has removed my stage fright and stuttering. Finally her one on one consulting makes you a pro.

Overview:
Questions have long been used as a teaching tool by teachers and preceptors to assess students' knowledge, promote comprehension, and stimulate critical thinking. Well-crafted questions lead to new insights, generate discussion, and promote the comprehensive exploration of subject matter. Poorly constructed questions can stifle learning by creating confusion, intimidating students, and limiting creative thinking.

Effective listening skills - The ability to actively listen helps the interviewer to establish rapport at a rapid pace.
Being Emotionally Intelligent - Understanding the emotions of the interviewee helps the interviewer to display empathy.
Asking Effective Questions - Asking questions is the most important skill of an interviewer. However, the way these questions are phrased critically determines the efficacy of the answers received.

Course Outline
Overview:
Role-play is a technique that allows students to explore realistic situations by interacting with other people in a managed way to develop and experience different strategies in a supported environment. Depending on the intention of the activity, participants might be playing a role similar to their own (or their likely one in the future) or could play the opposite part of the conversation or interaction. Both options provide the possibility of significant learning, with the former allowing experience to be gained and the latter encouraging the student to develop an understanding of the situation from the 'opposite' point of view.

Overview:
Do you feel anxious every time you need to answer the phone or make an important phone call, worrying that you won't be understood or you won't be able to understand the pronunciation of the speaker on the other side?
Do you feel stressed when you need to take part in a meeting or present your project in English because you feel your pronunciation is not good enough?
Did you ever have to communicate in English but you had to be fast in fear that your pronunciation is not good and left the other side with a feeling that you could have said more or even contributed more?
A big number of English learners feel that pronunciation is not a priority or an area to improve on, switching focus on using "perfect" grammar and vocabulary. However, if any of the questions above have caught your attention, it is a clear sign that you need to improve your pronunciation.
It is clear that good communication should be the first thing that you learn in English. Terminology, specific vocabulary or advanced vocabulary can be substituted with simpler, easier words. However, if you don't have good English pronunciation, everything else is secondary.
"Communication is a skill that you can learn. It's like riding a bicycle or typing.
If you're willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of every part of your life."
– Brian Tracy
Getting along with professionals can prove to be a difficult task when social interaction is affected by pronunciation issues. Think about it, when you can speak clearly and correctly, having natural flow in your speech, people will enjoy talking to you. Doing business live or via telephone would not be an issue. Presenting in front of an audience your ideas and projects with confidence will only highlight how professional you are.
Real conversations occur between these two extremes
