    English - Learn How to speak good English with a native teacher

    I am specialized in teaching English to adults and students as well as companies (business english).
    For adults, this class offers a general English practice or IELTS, TOEFL test preparation depending on what the student is looking for. The lessons will first start by evaluating their abilities in the four main skills (Speaking, Listening, Writing and Reading) then we can work together to plan the weekly lessons accordingly.

    I also offer tutoring online as well as speaking club for those that want to concentrate mainly on just the spoken part.

    Any communication occurring during the class must be in English. The class usually consists of one student but also a group of students is accommodated as per students' request.

    Extra information

    Students need not to worry about bringing their own study material as I prepare them myself, unless the student insists.

    About Me

    I am a very patient teacher who gives much attention and values personal development of his students.

    I always make sure the student comprehends the main concept of the lesson during the class by motivating and encouraging them to speak out and not correcting them consistently.

    Every student is unique in his/her learning ability so the lessons will be tailored just for the student, which increases the chances to understand and grasp a new language easier.

    The best way to learn a new language is by relating it to the student's life or experience and this is why I always communicate with my students about their hobbies and interests in the first few lessons.

    Finally, punctuality and time management is very important for me.

    English, written and spoken with a native English teacher
    English is the most commonly spoken language in the world. One out of five people can speak or at least understand English! Knowing English increases your chances of getting a good job in a multinational company within your home country or of finding work abroad. It will also help you when travelling abroad for vacation. My classes focus on a commutative approach to learning English. I focus more on skills than systems and lessons are more learner-centered. During the classes students will be able to practice important skills such as speaking, reading and writing and more emphasis will be put on speaking. This class is suitable for students from the age of 7 and up. I assist with school homework and assignments. I also teach business English for corporate clients as well.
