About Barbara

Barbara holds a BA in Performing Arts and a CELTA certificate, (Certificate in English Language Teaching to Adults) and has been teaching for the past six years in New York City. She is qualified to teach all aspects of English, including reading, writing, speaking and grammar, with a specialty in pronunciation and accent reduction. Her clientele includes corporate executives and actors. Barbara is also available as a coach for Public Speaking.

About the lesson

Traveling to 20 countries, including Europe, Asia and Latin America, Barbara Duffy’s unique background as a professional tap dancer/teacher/performer for 30 years has perfected her innate ability to communicate with people who speak English as a Second Language. Because tap dance is a musical and rhythmic art form, she has acquired acute listening skills, enabling her to detect pronunciation problems that students encounter. Barbara has applied these musical and physical sensibilities to her English teaching. In addition, Barbara possesses an instinctive sensibility to immediately adapt to the cultural differences of her students, easily developing a comfortable rapport.
Barbara’s method of teaching quickly helps students become more confident when speaking English. After identifying the student’s difficulty, she uses exaggerated movements of the mouth, tongue and jaw, as well as imagery to emphasize the placement of the sound. When a student can “feel” where a sound is placed, it will be easier for them to remember how to say this sound correctly. As the student’s pronunciation improves, Barbara then focuses on stress syllables and intonation, finding the “song” in English speaking. As a result, students are able to communicate more effectively in their everyday lives, at home and at work.
