I'm glad that you have chosen to study English! Learning another language is like becoming another person. It will teach you to think differently and will unlock the thoughts and feelings of a world that is completely different than yours. It will challenge you. There is so much to learn but the most important thing to always remember is that everyone smiles in the same language. :)
I am married and I have two children, both boys, aged 3 yrs and 5 yrs old. As a teacher and as a father, my children and my students have taught me much about myself. Most of all, they have taught me that every person is different... and so every person learns differently. There is no single magic formula for teaching a skill. For every person, a teacher must work hard to find the best way.
My lessons are relaxed and fun. A typical lesson lasts 1 hour but I like to allow more time if it is needed. I do NOT charge extra for lessons if we spend more than 1 hour. I am happy to spend the extra time with you. You are my number one priority during our lessons together and it is my mission to help you learn and grow.
Our first lesson is FREE because we both need to decide if we will work well together. I will use our first meeting to judge your English speaking ability level so that I can plan for future lessons. I also use the first lesson to make sure we both understand what is expected if we decide to continue working together.
Our second lesson will be the first "official" lesson. This is when we start LEARNING!
Depending on your English speaking ability level and why you are interested in learning English, our lessons can go in many different directions. Most of the lessons that I teach are based in conversation. I think it is most important that you are able to have a conversation with another person in English. So, our first several lessons will be simple conversation.
We only do specific lesson formats if and when there are very specific things that you want or need to learn in order to have a better conversation (grammar, slang, business or travel, parties, asking for directions, going out with friends).
I like to structure lessons so that they are specifically geared toward things that you are interested in. If you are engaged and having fun during our lessons then you will always continue to learn.
Every student is different and so every lesson will be different. I will spend the first 2 or 3 lessons asking you lots of questions and learning about you. We will try many different things to find the best way for you to learn. We will most likely try some techniques that you don't like or that don't work. This is very important because in order to find what works the best, we must also know what does not work. Eventually, we will get there and you will be fast on your way to speaking fluent English!
I am a very dynamic teacher and I love my students. I hope to have an opportunity to work with you.
Please contact me and ask any questions that you might have.
I am only accepting 2 more students so don't wait... Let's get started now!
Let's have a conversation in English!!!
