It is time for your own English Convesational Coach

I became a TEFL English Teacher back in 2008. After 12 years of teaching all levels and all sorts of groups, I've become very aware of what works and what doesn't... Trying to learn English grammar rules before being able to understand the language, it will always be hard work for the learner and also very frustrating. No matter what country you are born into, first, you learn how to speak and then you learn the rules. Acquiring additional languages should not be any different.
I am sure you have spent a long time learning English but, how many times have you had the chance to simply see how well you would do through a normal English conversation as you would do with a friend? Not many right?...
My coaching sessions are designed to constantly generate conversation between you and me. We will talk about everything and anything. I will catch those little mistakes you will make here and there. We will fix them on the spot through mental gymnastics, pills of wisdom, reminders, and everything else I have in store for you. You will do most of the talking. Good teachers are the ones that let their students speak, don't forget that.
Your confidence, your fluency, and your accuracy will forcefully improve with time. I will make sure I introduce to you (in due time) verbs, expressions, and vocabulary essential to your everyday English. A Win-Win!
If you are up for the challenge please make sure you have at least a low intermediate level to be able to follow a simple conversation. If your level is lower than that, you will have to be very patient with yourself and conversations could be slower at the beginning.
I am super patient, a great listener, and I have a passion for English. I will be more for you than just an English teacher. I will guide you, encourage you, and basically offer you that "safe pool" where you can polish your speaking skills in a safe, private, cool environment to let yourself speak without worries :)
My accent is a neutral British English accent and I can also help you improve your pronunciation.

Extra information

Estas sesiones de practica y mejora de tu Ingles hablado están pensadas para personas que quieren y necesitan llevar su Ingles al siguiente nivel. Aunque el anuncio dice que las clases son vía webcam (no había otra opción), en nuestras sesiones la cámara web no es necesaria y no haremos uso de ella. De hecho, para facilitar al máximo tu practica diaria de Ingles, también nuestras sesiones podrán ser por teléfono. Bien de camino a casa o al trabajo, en tus ratos de descanso e incluso en los de aburrimiento. Se trata de que puedas simplemente hablar en Ingles siempre que puedas e ir mejorando.
Una de las tareas mas difíciles a la hora de hablar un segundo o tercer idioma es el teléfono. Si eres capaz de desenvolverte en el idioma sin ayuda de la parte visual de tu interlocutor, podrás enfrentarte a cualquier conversación en persona. La practica hace la perfección y "the more you talk, the better you will speak" y eso es innegable...

About Me

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
Hi, I'm Maia. I trained as an English teacher with the best and got my TEFL (Teaching English as a foreign language) certificate in Dublin, May 2008. I became a teacher because I really wanted to help others speak this language and help them speak it. well.
Frustration with the traditional method of language learning (which I personally have also suffered) has been the catalyst for this program. Many of us are tired of having to learn the rules of a language without even knowing how to speak it (I am currently learning French and the same thing happens to me). Understanding a Present Perfect or the Past continuous in English when it is difficult for you to talk about basic things becomes an impossible mission and one is heartless because he thinks it is null for languages. The reality is that when you were little you learned to speak without having to know that it was the Past Perfect. You learned through “trial and error”. Mom or dad or the teacher gently corrected or repeated correctly what was wrong, such as; Mom, I broke the door. While you were learning Spanish, you didn't need explanations about how you spoke or when you did it ... you just spoke it. Stop trying to invent the wheel. It is time to re-learn to speak as it has been done since the beginning of time.
That is what I want to show you in these sessions. You don't need metaphysical explanations to speak English well. Yes, grammar is necessary but it does not have to be a tostón and the vocabulary can be learned in an entertaining and fun way through the real practice of it, as well as the grammar rules.
You need three things to speak English and together we will take care of each one of them but through the real practice of the language where you will be the main protagonist.

Primary School English: It's all just ticking boxes. (Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2)
School moves fast and it can often feel like you are speeding through with your hands open just hoping you can grab something - anything - that you can grab to slow you enough that you can say: Yes, I got this. English is a core subject in primary schools, the most important subject. As a primary school teacher, my English sessions will be structured so that you can transition much easier from school to tutoring lessons. As a student of mine I am committed to finding the best way for you to understand the trickiest areas of English. I often tell children that English is just ticking boxes. Does your sentence have correct punctuation? How about grammar? Have you used conjunctions? My role is to understand where your weakness are so that you can understand enough that your weaknesses become your strengths. My sessions are not strictly designed for children. No matter what stage in life you are at, whether you're a teenager or adult, I can cater to your needs.
