About Me

My name is Jen Schimmelpfennig and I have over 30 years of experience teaching ESL, starting with one-on-one tutoring as an undergraduate. Early in my career, I noticed that pronunciation is often overlooked in ESL programs, despite students' eagerness to improve.

I've had my own challenges learning Russian in graduate school. I personally felt the frustration of not being understood. These experiences drove me to want to help students overcome similar obstacles. Today, I help international teaching assistants at the University of Utah improve their pronunciation and speaking skills. I also privately tutor advanced ESL learners. My goal is to empower students to communicate confidently in academic and professional settings, ensuring their voices are heard and valued.
