Let’s have an English Conversation Lesson together
Let’s have an English conversation together! I know that each student is unique so I make sure to cater my lesson plans according to my student's pace, goals, and needs. In my classes, I will always encourage you to fully express your thoughts to utilize everything that you've learned. Although I mainly specialize in free conversations, I can also teach you grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. Furthermore, we can go through a textbook you're studying, read and discuss news/short stories, describe pictures, or do roleplays to practice for certain situations. In other words, I am pretty flexible in my teaching methods haha. If you have any preferences, you are always free to let me know. 

I can't wait to meet you in class soon. I really look forward to being a part of your learning experience!

Practice your English or Italian conversational skills.
Have you been learning a language for some time, but still have problems when it comes to talking? I'm an Italian-Japanese mothertongue that is also very fluent in English, here to help you practice :-) I can come to teach you anywhere along the shonan-shinjuku line (the closer to Omiya the better) or near the centre of Tokyo. A personal request to keep the conversation going would be to please think out something you would like to talk about during the lesson (hobbies etc.). I can also help you with your writing if needed, so please feel free to bring any texts and books along during the lesson. Happy to make your acquaintance.

Italian, English and French for foreigners! Don't miss this opportunity!

Tiago
English or Portuguese conversation sessions in Tokyo
Hi! I'm Thiago. Let's meet at a cafe or at your place for a conversation! I was born in Argentina but lived in Brazil since I was 3. I studied English for more than 10 years in Brazil, after that I went to California to improve my English speaking skills, as well as to increase my vocabulary. I'm happy to be able to share my language skills with you! English is an essential language to thrive on the global world we live on. Speaking good English can open many doors, as a new job, a promotion, traveling with ease, among many other advantages. I also teach Portuguese for the same price!

Enjoy English Learning
Any language can be learned by making mistakes and then correcting them. I am an amicable person and can be that guide who helps you to understand the language better.

I will ask many questions about your culture and your hobbies so that we can understand each other and have a amicable atmosphere for learning.

Kevin
Non-academic Latin lessons. Multilingual teacher with 9 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, conceptual semantics.
Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.
