Open Road English
Lessons & pricing

Start small. Start today.

Every price is listed below in plain numbers, and every path starts with the same first step.

Everything begins with a 25 minute, $12 trial lesson, where we will meet, I will listen to where your English is today, and you will try the Speak Freely Method for yourself.

The lessons below are for women I have already met, so if we have not met yet, the trial is your first step.

Speak Freely Lesson

$25 / 50 minutes

One full lesson on the Speak Freely Method, built for your real life: your work calls, your neighborhood, your conversations.

Book a lesson
Just talk

30 Minute English Conversation

$10 / 30 minutes

Is there a phrase you want to use, but you do not trust Google Translate to tell you if it is correct, or polite, or if it makes you sound like a robot? Bring it, and I will walk you through the situations where it works. Want to practice shadowing? Want to just shoot the shit? Don't know what that means? Book a 30 minute conversation and I will explain it.

Lesson packages

Real change comes from rhythm, and twice a week is the pace I recommend. Every package below requires a completed trial lesson first, so we both know it is a fit before you commit.

4 Conversations

$36 / four 30-minute talks

You get a month of regular talking practice: four 30-minute conversations with me, and the speaking gets easier every week.

Get 4 conversations

4 Lessons

$90 / four 50-minute lessons

Two weeks at the recommended pace. Enough to feel the first shift, when a sentence comes out before you planned it. Use within 3 months.

10 Lessons

$215 / ten 50-minute lessons

Five weeks at twice a week. This is where the meeting moment usually happens: you speak first and notice afterward. Use within 6 months.

26 Lessons

$525 / twenty-six 50-minute lessons

About three months at twice a week, which is usually where the deeper changes show up: the apology drops and the call-dread fades. The lowest per-lesson price. Use within 1 year.

The practical details, in plain English

Booking. A single lesson books automatically, you pick the time. For packages, you book only the first lesson, and we schedule the rest together during it.

Your time zone. Times are always shown in your own time zone. I am in Bangkok, and the calendar does the math so you never have to.

Moving a lesson. Any lesson can move with at least 24 hours notice, at no cost, using the reschedule link in your confirmation email. Inside 24 hours a lesson cannot be moved, so a missed lesson still counts as one of yours. If I ever have to cancel, which rarely happens, that lesson does not count against you and we reschedule it.

Packages. Packages are paid up front and are non-refundable. The 4-pack is good for 3 months, the 10-pack for 6 months, and the 26-pack for 1 year.
