Designed for advanced English learners who want practical skills, personalized feedback, and the flexibility to focus on the topics most relevant to their goals.
Why these workshops
Expert instruction, guided practice, and feedback that’s actually yours.

- Expert, live instruction — not a pre-recorded video you watch alone
- Guided practice during every session, so you actually use what you learn
- Personalized feedback on a follow-up assignment — the part AI and generic courses can’t give you
- Pick only the topics relevant to your goals, and add more to save

— Christinah
Meet Your Instructor
Hi — I'm Christinah.
7 years teaching and tutoring experience, specializing in advanced academic English and TOEFL prep.
I specialize in teaching adult learners at the intermediate to advanced level. I’ve helped students increase their TOEFL scores; I’ve helped students successfully prepare for and begin university study; I’ve helped students gain the confidence they need to pursue professional licenses and advance toward promotion in their careers.
Over time, I noticed that many advanced learners stop improving—not because they lack ability, but because they don’t have the right system. Academic-level English has a massive vocabulary. Academic-level writing feels daunting. And somehow, we’re always stuck on the grammar.
Thankfully, now more than ever, there are tools to help overcome these hurdles. This course is designed to help you take advantage of those tools and change the narrative of being “stuck.”
My goal isn’t just to help you improve in our time together — it’s to give you the tools to keep improving long after.
— Christinah Mulder, M.A. TESOL
Notes from past students
In their words
Christinah created a supportive and engaging environment in the Advanced Academic English class. Her lessons were well-structured, challenging, and extremely helpful for improving academic writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills. I gained a lot of confidence and practical strategies that were valuable for my academic goals.

I attended Salt Lake Community College in the fall of 2022 and had Christinah as my professor. I learned a tremendous amount from her; my vocabulary has improved and expanded enormously since then. I always looked forward to being in her class and participating, as I was able to learn and enjoy myself at the same time. She made everyone feel comfortable and welcomed! My life here in the United States has gotten so much better since then. I got my first job in July 2023, where I currently continue to work at the Utah Attorney General’s Office. I truly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn English and be successful.

FAQ
Things people ask
Each workshop is a single 90-minute live session on Zoom — interactive, not a lecture. You get downloadable materials, a short practical assignment afterward, and personalized feedback on it from Christinah.

Advanced English learners — roughly intermediate-high through advanced — preparing for TOEFL, university study, professional communication, or long-term improvement. The focus is practical, advanced-level skills.
All times are Mountain Time (UTC−6). When you register, every session is shown in your own local time zone, so there’s no math to do.
