Gannon 講師のプロフィール
Greetings! My name is Gannon.
I’m a native English speaker from California with a background in linguistics, speech pathology, and professional communication. I was in the dental industry for over a decade, and owned and operated my own dental laboratory (making teeth) for over 8 years.
My mission on Cafetalk is to help you improve clarity, pronunciation, and confidence in real-world English — especially in dental, professional, and academic settings.
My approach is calm, structured, and practical. I focus on helping you communicate clearly and accurately.

A little about myself~
I love learning and am always reading books on topics I enjoy.
I have a 9 year old Korat cat named Cinder who’s been through a lot of trying times with me.
I operate a specialty fishing lure business that is a wonderful creative outlet and provides great connections with customers all over America.
Living in a small town I love hiking, running, bicycling, and weightlifting. I also like playing guitar, building things, learning piano, and Zwifting! (Look it up)
With a passion for life I try to live as fully as possible. I’ve experienced an eclectic background having graduated from a fire academy and was briefly a firefighter, as well as having been trained in the medical field as an EMT prior to going to a university.
I look forward to meeting you and learning about your passions and goals as well! I'm excited to assist you in whatever ways I can.

Teaching Background~
While my background is not in traditional classroom teaching, my training and experience are deeply rooted in language, communication, and applied English.
I hold a Bachelor’s degree in both Linguistics and Communication Sciences & Disorders (speech pathology), along with a TESOL certification (2010) and TESOL recertification (2025). My academic training includes phonetics, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, language acquisition, and speech transcription, as well as anatomical studies and the neurophysiology behind speech production.
In addition, I spent over a decade working in the dental industry, including more than eight years owning and operating my own dental laboratory. This experience gave me extensive exposure to professional, technical, and client-facing communication, as well as collaboration with dentists, staff, and suppliers in high-precision environments.
Because of this background, I am especially effective at helping professionals, students, and advanced learners improve their spoken English for work, exams, and real-life communication.
⸻
Teaching Style~
My teaching style is analytical, precise, and supportive. I tailor each lesson to your goals, proficiency level, and communication needs.
A key strength of my approach is pronunciation training. I use linguistic tools such as the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) to help you clearly understand and correct your pronunciation patterns. With my background in speech transcription, I can identify specific sound errors and guide you toward measurable improvement.
Lessons for you may include:
•Pronunciation and accent clarity
•Listening and speaking accuracy
•Professional and workplace communication
•Academic or exam-related English
•Medical, dental, or technical English (when relevant)
•General conversation with structured feedback
I work best with motivated adult learners who want clear explanations, practical guidance, and steady improvement. My goal is to help you communicate with confidence, precision, and professionalism.
I'm also open to chat in a relaxed setting about whatever you may be interested in. I'm looking forward to hearing from you!
