Native Advantage offers English and ASL services to second language learners anywhere in the world. We offer conversation services, pronunciation evaluations and sessions, and consultations on writing and presentations all with native speakers. I have met a lot of people who come to the US after studying English for years, and interacting with native speakers is always both helpful and shocking. I believe native speaker interaction will improve a learner's language and distance should not get in the way. Show less
