If you're looking for a professional, knowledgeable, and passionate English teacher who can help you achieve your language goals, then Jay is the one for you!
The best one
It was a productive lesson with Jay. Within 90 mins, we worked on improving my motivation letter for a job application. He helped me with my written language. After the discussion, I can express myself in a precise way. Besides, according to my grammatical errors, he gave me several pieces of advice for self-study. Thank you very much.
Thanks Jay, it was a great helpful lesson. I get a lot of useful information. Soumaya
Understanding how to use English Time Tenses properly has and continues to be a challenge for many business owners and professionals. What do they mean? What are their auxiliaries? How are they formulated? Which time words correspond to which time tense? Is there a difference in using these tenses in speech versus in writing? Learn how ALL of the English time tenses work in 3-compact sessions! If you're a small, medium or large business with a complete staff, I can come to you and help correct and bring awareness to how you're using the language, to enhance your business for meetings, travel and rendezvous of all sorts.
I am a New Yorker living and teaching here. I am a relatable, experienced and professional English trainer. I offer training-packages throughout the Mediterranean and the European Union. I provide Immersion Courses, American English adaptation/translation services, career-building tools and documents and have a niche for pronunciation correction and TOEIC Preparation. I teach general ESL (English as a Second Language), business and industry-specific English and all-purpose English too! This is also a communicative English class for developing speech. Here we will explore, vocabulary with nuances in meanings, synonyms, idioms, proverbs, some phrasal verb and prepositional verbs and all-around social English. The possibilities are endless for focusing on Public Speaking, Intonation and Voice Projection as well. This may be stimulated by interesting audios, short readers or videos. If there are topics you have in mind, we can additionally explore and incorporate this into your lessons. If you need to start speaking English, this class is for you. **NOTE: This class can also be offered and adjusted to accommodate multiple teenagers, adults or professionals as a group session, to make it more economical for you. It is advised that groups not exceed more than 5 persons per session. Charges apply to distances teacher must travel; especially, if out of standard office hours or on bank holidays!!
