English and Test-Prep Tutoring with an emphasis on the conversational use of language

Hello, I'm a young teacher currently living in Fribourg. I'm a CELTA graduate (Cambridge English Language Teaching for Adults) and I would love to help you with any issues concerning homework, essay writing or helping out with any fear you may have with communicating in English (and don't worry, we've all been there)!

More specifically:
- I would be creating a special course plan specifically made for you and what you may be struggling with
- I only speak in English to create an English-speaking friendly environment where making mistakes is cherished and used as a tool towards getting better
- I like to teach grammar in a fun way, through conversation, games and functional language (the language you may be used in every-day situations i.e. while shopping, asking for directions, etc.)
- As I previously said, mistakes are cherished in my classes, I would be collecting them, and at the end of every class, you would most likely be able to correct them yourself!

Extra information

It would be helpful if before the lesson you could inform me about specific things you would like to improve/ work on.

About Me

Hello, I'm a young person with a big passion for teaching and languages. My love for teaching appeared as I discovered that I myself don't learn very efficiently when approached by the more 'traditional' way of teaching (i.e. the I preach- You write down method) so I decided to find the easiest way possible for me to learn, I discovered that it was through conversation and putting language into context rather than stare at rows and tables all day long. I soon realized that I wasn't the only one who felt this way and I completed the CELTA (Cambridge English Language Teaching for Adults) course which helped me understand that we all learn differently, some through conversation, some through music, some through movement, but ultimately we all need this factor of putting language into a real-life situation in order to truly understand it.
This is what I mean to do, I would be creating a personalized lesson plan for all my students and having the first lesson (45 minutes), in order to understand what your interests are, how you like to learn and what motivates you. I hope to inspire you and show you just how amazing and fun English can be.

Kevin
Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
