Editor, language coach, and corporate trainer with 20 years of professional experience. Due to a surge in demand for top-tier university admissions support (specifically, personal statement and supplemental brainstorming, outlining, and editing), I have restricted my service offer to university admissions consulting. Please contact me for a free telephone consultation to determine if I am the right coach and editor for your needs.
Special note: Pricing is in USD due to the majority of my clients being US-based. Canadians may pay the converted rate in local currency. Given the complexities of managing clients from different locations, my prices are all-inclusive (I pay sales tax, with breakdown included on receipts).
In 2017, I started offering specialized consulting and coaching services to individuals and companies alike under the banner of my agency, Stephanie Coco Palermo English Language Success Services, where a large part of my client base sought standardized test preparation (IELTS, TOEFL, CELPIP, and Duo Lingo), as well as essay revision, prompting me to specialize in admissions. Recent admits include Columbia (MBA), USC, Yale MBA, UNC-Chapel Hill (including a client who was awarded the Morehead-Cain Scholarship), NYU, University of Miami, UC's (including UCLA), McMaster, McGill, University of Toronto, York, and many others.
Before starting my own consulting and coaching practice, I was English Program Director & Senior English Language Specialist at Lingo Canada, where I designed language training programs for Ubisoft, Hershey’s, Gildan, and other high-level clients. I also trained teachers, evaluated hundreds of clients, and held corporate-wide training workshops on writing, business communication and more, in addition to providing highly specialized coaching services to private clients and corporate groups across different industries.
Other career highlights include:
Creating written marketing content for L’Oreal Canada (1Milk2SugarsPr)
Managing Editor and writer for Timessquare.com, where interviewees included Kevin Hart, Dana Fuchs, Paula Poundstone and other entertainers
Providing editing services for various government agencies, such as the Canadian Department of National Defence (Editor, Army News) and the United Nations (Health and Sanitation Aspects of Flood Management)
Teaching English training courses to professionals as a corporate trainer at Technologia (2017-present)
Partnering up with Derek Johnston, former National Communications Director of the RCMP, to co-facilitate Volunteer Canada’s 2014 strategic planning session and draft a narrative summary report
Editing and writing content for Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s Vancouver 2010 binder as a staff member of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games Federal Secretariat, where I received the prestigious Deputy Minister’s Award for Service
I believe in a collaborative and creative approach to teaching. Above all, however - I pride myself in being a premium service provider. My definition of premium is a trifecta of profound expertise, consistent and constant support, and an unmatched dedication to achieving successful outcomes for all clients. Having worked across a wide variety of industries with a multitude of learning and cultural profiles, I am adept at creating customized approaches for each of my clients. Further, as most of my clients are referral-based through word-of-mouth or online reviews, I am tasked with providing value that exceeds the investment my clients make in time and money.
Please inquire for availability.
Sessions are offered exclusively through telephone and online platforms (Zoom, GoogleMeet, What'sApp, or Facetime).
I've had classes with Stephanie for about 10 months now and I have to say she's the best English teacher I've ever had. I love how personalized to my needs our classes are but also how easily she adapts them on the fly to my crazy and often unrelated questions. She'll have you do different types of exercises and activities depending on the subject you'll go over so it never gets boring or repetitive. She always goes above and beyond, making sure I understand everything. The contents of each session are explained in detail but also in a very simple-to-understand way. Having classes with her has not only helped me speak the language better but also to transfer it to my job, which by the way Stephanie is aware of so we are always looking out for opportunities to polish up those skills. In short, you won't be disappointed if you choose Stephanie as your teacher. I'll give you a refund myself should that happen!
Needed help editing a small text and she did it super fast and clean!
The best of all! Great great great great great tutor! Great skills, great personality, well informed, able to easily explain things and rules, creative approach, flexible, kind, etc. Simply the best. Worth the every penny and every minutes.
Stephanie brings enthusiam and experience to every class. She is very patient and understanding and easily adapts her learning style based on my needs. She is very knowledgeable, extremely funny and friendly which makes the class more interesting. She loves what she does and cares passionately about her job. Stephanie communicates things clearly and efficiently and she always makes sure that I understand everything in a correct way, and if I have any follow up questions. We have covered many things so far from pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and free conversation. She is very punctual and super organized. Always on time or even ahead of time. She never missed a class!!! Besides her expertise, you will have the opportunity to work with a kind and humble person. One of the best coaches I have ever had!! I feel the progress I make every time. For those who look for a professional to improve their English language skills, I highly recommend Stephanie. She is really an expert in her field. Thank you Stephanie for your time, patience, and expertise!
I sought Stephanie's help to improve my English and I got much, much more than just help. Not only has she helped me improve my conversational skills, she has also expanded my vocabulary, improved my spelling, and corrected my pronunciation. Stephanie knew how to help me in an indirect way, making class smooth and easy yet very beneficial. She tailored the classes to my needs so professionally that I didn't even feel as though I was taking classes; instead, I felt like they were more of a recap conversation of my daily activities and challenges. From the simplest grammar rules to the most advanced literature techniques, Stephanie has helped me improve my skills in every aspect of the English language. She is an amazing and caring teacher and above all, a very good friend. I would highly recommend her.
