PLEASE CONTACT ME DIRECTLY TO BOOK A CLASS, AVAILABILITY PERMITTING. Make speaking English something you enjoy. Your classes will be conversational, interesting, and fun! They will combine learning about current events, science, technology, sports - or whatever you are passionate about - with the vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation, and speaking practice you normally find in an English lesson. They will not only help you learn WHAT to say but also HOW to say it so that you will be able to communicate your message in the clearest way possible. They will also include games and activities to help you learn everyday language in a fun way. To help you improve your fluency in real-time, I will type what you say while you speak and offer you feedback (corrections and suggestions) as we go. That way, you will be able to see the difference between what you said and what you could have said. You will have a record of the conversation at the end of class. We will use materials that are current, relevant, and tailored to your interests (newspaper and magazine articles, blogs, videos, and podcast clips). I include speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities (as desired). I can also offer you grammar-based practice questions and homework activities to do in between classes. If you are looking for Business English, I offer courses for professionals, based on the 'Market Leader' textbooks, on topics such as Meetings and Communication with International Colleagues, Making Presentations, Sales, Marketing, Money & Finance, International Markets, Managing People, Leadership, Cross-cultural topics, Professional Social Situations, and more. I have a background in recruiting (job placement and CV writing) so I can help you customise your cover letter or CV as well as practise for upcoming interviews. I have been living and working abroad for the last 8 years (Asia, Australia, Europe, Latin America). I am a Canadian native English speaker with: - a Bachelor of Commerce in International Management from the University of Ottawa in Canada - a TESOL certificate (120h) - nearly 10 years of English language teaching experience, mostly online I have taught more than 5000 classes to over 3000 students of all levels. Send me a message if you have any questions or if you would like to schedule a 20-min meeting to talk about what your customised learning plan could include. See you in class! ** I do my best to be flexible and accommodate changes to your schedule - I ask that you are respectful of my schedule as well. Missed classes (no notice given) will be charged.
