VOICE ELP Founder & Instructor

Unglid Paul

I love working with adult ESL learners because I learn so much from my students’ experiences. In my class, you’ll find a supportive, engaging community and build confidence in your English. I was born in Gonaïves, Haiti, and came to the U.S. when I was two years old. I’m currently a PhD student in Duke University’s Romance Studies Department (French & Francophone Studies). My class is best for intermediate speakers who want to grow their skills and confidence in English.

Annelise Lobo

I am passionate about spreading knowledge by teaching others English and would love for you to join my class! My classes will attempt to touch on science, politics, psychology and social conversations. I grew up in Karachi, Pakistan and moved to the USA when I was 18 for college. I am currently an engineer during the day so all my classes will be held in the evening and are for advanced speakers (know how to speak English but are looking to be fluent). ​

Instructor

John D'Amico

I am extremely passionate about teaching English and being given the opportunity to assist however I can in one's language journey. I like to structure my courses around each student's personal interests – including the use of music playlists and a variety of news article – to approach their learning in the most conducive manner. I am currently working as a research assistant at UNC; however, due to the flexibility of my schedule, my class times are variable based on what times work best for each student. My class is best for beginner speakers, who are seeking to further hone their English skills and build up their confidence in English. ​
