Meet Your Native Conversation Partners

Carol Green

My name is Carol. 

I live in the state of New Hampshire which is one of the New England states in the United States.

I became an “English Language Conversation Partner” because I like connecting with people from different cultures and enjoy helping people succeed. 

Students say that I am patient, kind, and attentive and that I answer their questions clearly and correct their mistakes. 

My goal is to make our time together enjoyable, helpful and fun for you!

Meg Ross

My name is Meg and I live in Antioch, Illinois, which is a northern suburb of Chicago, near the Wisconsin border.  I enjoy talking to people of all ages and backgrounds, finding out things they like and talking about what I’m interested in too, so this program is a perfect outlet for me.

I have six grown children, and they have always called me a “language crank,” because I’m always correcting their grammar and spelling. I used my language skills for many years as an editor at a local newspaper, but I’m now retired. I enjoy classical music, knitting, sewing, reading and Chicago Bears football.

I’d love to talk to you about any subject, both helping you with your English conversational skills, and also learning about your interests and culture.

I hope talk to you soon!
