English Online. Speaking Marathon (via Zoom). 1to1

It happened so that all my adult life I have been studying medicine a lot and going through a variety of training in this area. It helps me not only to develop programs, but also in teaching English to medical practitioners (doctors, nurses, pharmacists and other healthcare professionals), as well as students who study medicine). Right now I teach only one-to-one lessons online. It's true that with doctors, who often run or join urgent operations, it is difficult to expect stability except 6 in the morning))) But we could try to predict the best times, days to arrange a meeting... I most cases we choose one of the options below for "Medical English Online" programs: 1) With students with a level of English Language proficiency at the level of "pre-intermediate" - "intermediate", I take the nursing course as a basis (although it is absolutely wonderful to study it for nurses, doctors, and future doctors). Of course, there's a variety of additional materials that I select depending on specialization, interests, etc. In the basic version of the course the materials are selected to prepare for the international examinations for CGFNS nurses (Commission on Graduates of Foreign Nursing Schools): • the patient's medical history, • examination of the patient, • private examinations, • research, • medical documents, • establishing a diagnosis, • prescribing the treatment, • additional topics - depending on specialization / request 2) Based on the English proficiency at the "Upper-Intermediate" and higher levels, I include some materials from the programs for nurses and doctors, while suggesting also a very large number of sources of original literature, articles, atlases, videos, etc. Of course, with discussions and real cases on the way. My interest is that you learn something new for yourself, not only in terms of the English language ;) And, of course, share with me (my personal professional interest;). 3) You request :) You choose some narrow topics your need. And we work it out as much as possible using all the means, sources, etc. This is especially good if you want to expand the topics of a particular specialisation for: cardiologist, midwife, physiotherapist, paramedic, pharmacist, paediatrician, surgeon, lap technician, anaesthesiologist, pharmacist, orthopaedics and various others. --- In all the options above we talk a lot, listen, discuss, act out typical situations, analyse cases, etc. In English, of course. It is very difficult to learn Medical English without using English ;) So, What is especially important for you today? When you would like and could study Medical English online (early morning is an option too)? What topics are you especially interested in? Fill in an application form, - I will offer any possible options or the ones I consider to be the best. See you soon!

After more than 17 years of a very intensive teaching ‘career’ (with CELTA certificate) I stopped teaching using "usual ready made programmes". We explore amazing facts or find out some new details. It’s important for me that English doesn’t become a goal as it is, but is one of the means and instruments of what I call real life :) In the process of this exploration we play a lot, have a lot of practice using different available sources, and study a lot of information finding answers to real questions we have. And we improve in the language ‘studied’ as a result. When dealing with ESP courses (English for specific purposes), i.e. English in Medicine, Aviation, Sport, Negotiations and Presentations, etc. we dive into the topics, studying thoroughly different books, articles, video-lectures, atlases. We sometimes also organize events online for people ‘from real world’ where we share important or surprising information. It’s not only a lot of pleasure from sharing, but also a really good ‘practice bonus’. When ‘working’ with children we become friends and go into a lot of secrets of the family (sorry :), friends, we talk things over that are important for them. When taking any material they study at school (at physics, mathematics, history, literature, etc.), we explore them, looking for the solutions to the problems/quizzes or finding how those rules, laws, etc. could be used in everyday life. It’s not interesting for me any more to use ready made programmes for my classes, in spite of them having been developed by super educated people. I take some material from them or we could choose authentic courses as the basis for our classes but I feel free to use only 10% from them and use a lot what we really need. It’s a bit different with tough deadlines, incredible tasks and goals... The language there is already the instrument to achieve a goal and it is highly motivating and needs a lot of focus and work. And brings us pleasure when we get it. I am for pleasure and real life :)
