Introduction:
I want to help you to learn!
I have been working as an English teacher in Barcelona since 2014. I have taught children and adults at all levels from elementary to proficiency, in both large groups and one-to-one situations.
I would like to help you practise and improve your English over Skype. I am particularly interested in discovering how students from different parts of the world react to learning English.
I have over ten years' experience of learning languages myself and would love you to teach me about where you are from, as I help you with your English.
Teaching Specialty:
I can help you practise common business situations, focusing on pronunciation and sounding like a native.
I can help you with public speaking and with perfecting a good native-sounding rhythm when you speak English.
I can help you prepare for interviews, and think about predicting what the other person wants to hear.
I can help you prepare and perfect your skills for public speaking.
Nothing is more important than correcting common grammatical mistakes, and I can help you to identify why they happen and what traps to avoid.
Emails are a form of personal marketing, and it is important to develop the skill of planning your thoughts before you write, and reading what you have written before you send it. I can assist with what to look for.
Imagining yourself in real situations is quite easy, but I am keen to help you speak hypothetically, which is something students find very difficult, even though we do it all the time in our own language.
Practising problematic sounds is the key to sounding like a native speaker. It is often ignored in large classes and official courses for logistical reasons, so a one-to-one lesson is perfect for this.
Using authentic reading and listening material from news websites like the BBC is the quickest way to identify new vocabulary. The conversations you have about these topics are just what native people talk about.
With the use of practice tests and course material, I can suggest techniques to help you prepare to pass exams.
