A native Houstonian, whose dream was to pursue the corporate market in New York and share the knowledge with her students globally.
YOUR ABILITY TO EXPRESS YOURSELF CONFIDENTLY WINS YOU THE RESPECT OF OTHERS!
The transfer came through – to Marriott’s international sales office – and that was just the beginning! One of my goals I needed to fulfill was to work the corporate market in New York.
Having had extensive hotel sales and marketing experience working the corporate sector for 5 star New York international sales offices and boutique hotels representing Marriott, Four Seasons, Ritz Carlton and others, I am grateful to have developed strong business awareness. This has been the foundation for my position as a Business English Instructor. I not only became certified to teach, however I had many years of hands on experience in the city where it all happens.
Following 2 years of teaching in New York, Europe was calling, so I accepted a position in the Czech Republic. Thirteen years later, I am a permanent resident, with a portfolio of students and companies I am proud to be associated with.

For me, the key to teaching and global communication is to instill confidence, tailoring to the wishes of each individual. Everyone is different and warrants their own needs to be addressed in a unique and positive manner. Check out some of my testimonials.
METHOD OF TEACHING
UNIQUE • VALUABLE • AUTHENTIC • PRACTICAL
As a student speaks, I correct them – this is sense memory which serves them well. Whether it is speaking or writing, I use the same technique for both, requesting the student repeat what was said or write in a different way, without changing the concept. This is vocabulary expansion, which ultimately makes it more interesting for the listener and the reader.
Role – plays are practical in everyday life as well as in business. Topics vary, according to the professional position of the student.

TESTIMONIALS
“I attended Janet’s advanced business writing course for five years. I very much appreciated Janet’s teaching style, which is challenging but also encouraging. Janet is a reliable and punctual teacher who never canceled a class.
With her help and guidance, I managed not only to improve my writing but also my presentation skills, my pronunciation and vocabulary. I appreciated feedback on writing assignments over the years. Reading news and current affairs articles in class was a great way to learn vocabulary and phrases that are actually used in English. I found it helpful that Janet made the group repeat previously learned vocabulary on a regular basis.
The combination of frequent writing assignments (as mentioned, my course focused on business writing), reading and repetition always made me feel ready for the final tests. Janet is also a kind and interesting person with lots of entertaining stories to share.
My English skills significantly improved after attending Janet’s classes, and I can sincerely recommend her to anyone looking to improve their own.”
“I have been attending Janet’s English lessons for more than 4 years.
The format of our lesson is always very diverse. We usually start with conversation about current political and cultural topics in the Czech Republic and globally.
Another frequent topic of discussion is cultural customs and differences between the Czech Republic and the USA, which is usually addressed when discussing a current topic.
Janet’s lessons are always carefully prepared. She organizes interesting articles for us from various fields. (IT, Economy, Human Rights, etc.) After reading an article, a discussion on the topic of the article usually develops
An integral part of our lessons is the practice of grammar (tenses, synonyms, phrasal verbs, etc.) in a very digestible form. Vocabulary expansion is also a primary focus.
Thanks to Janet, I feel much more confident in communicating with customers in English.”

“Janet Feinstein conducted weekly Business English group lessons in our company. It was challenging, as our team members’ levels were not uniformed.
However, she still managed to include everyone and help them to enhance not only their English level, but their general communication and sales skills as well.
It was more than teaching; it was also coaching. Thank you Janet.”
