Coffee with a Canadian - World-Class English with Tailored Lessons for the Ambitious Learner

Thanks for taking time to check out my profile.

I'm an outdoor-loving Canadian, born and bred in beautiful Vancouver, British Columbia. A life-long student of life and educator across multiple time zones and countries. I'm currently living and working in Europe as an educational consultant for local schools and learning institutions.

Here are some of the topics I've covered:

★ Language acquisition that caters towards employment, culture, interviews, career and immigration
★ IELTS and TOEFL examination prep
★ Conversational and body language skills between natives
★ Pronunciation perfection
★ Critical thinking and development skills
★ Leadership goals & mentoring
★ English for the workplace and moving abroad
★ International relations, theory and business
★ Language acquisition for high school and middle school students
★ Information Technology (IT) English with a focus on economics, blockchain, finance and online colloquialisms

★ ★ Introducing an AI-inspired teaching curriculum where you'll learn how to use tools, learn terminologies and what the experts are saying about our future!

Want to hit that dream job? Perhaps you’re an international student considering moving abroad? Or maybe you just want to brush up on your language skills to make you a more attractive person, employee and citizen of the world?

If this is you, don’t hesitate to send me a message if you have any questions and I’ll get back to you within 24 hours - promise.

Each lesson with me is always open to customization as I've had tremendous experience outlining step-by-step guides that outline our monthly plans, goals and ambitions.

My current students are often business professionals, single moms, undergrads, transfer students and people interested in the IT sector, investment field and personal development with big dreams and ambitious goals.

After a complimentary lesson where we will discuss where you are, and where you want to be - I'll be sending you a detailed outline of a plan moving forward so we can get started.

All it takes is one message.

I'll see you in class,

Dante

English lessons for beginners and advanced by webcam
Hey you! Do you want to learn English or improve it? You are in the right place! English is one of the most common and useful languages in the world, whether for work, travelling, watching series in original version, understanding your favorite American or English star... What? An English course for both beginners and advanced, both for children and adults... we discover the basics of the language, grammar and useful vocabulary in a fun way, or we deepen these knowledge, with some revisions if necessary. Obviously, we will tackle all skills: reading, writing, speaking and hearing. Who? I'm Julie, a fan of languages, I've already mastered almost four, and I always want to discover new ones. English has (almost) no more secrets for me. I'm also a photographer and a photography teacher on the side, so I have a background in building lessons with lots of practice. How? For one to two hours (two hours recommended to progress more efficiently), I always prepare my lessons specially and in an up-to-date way, using recent articles, relevant and useful vocabulary on a daily basis. Classes are currently only taking place online, as I am not in Belgium. When? Well, whenever you want! As soon as possible, to improve your English tomorrow! So what are you waiting for?

¡Clases de Español para todos! ~ Spanish lessons for everyone! ~
--- ENG Hello everyone! My name is Maria, a Venezuelan musician residing in Belgium. In the world of art, languages and cultures are a fundamental part of being able to understand each other and connect with each other in order to create something beautiful together, in my case music. Apart from being an artist, I like languages and learning them has become a passion for me, which is why I decided to take this passion to another level. During my classes I want to help you learn my native language, which is Latin American Spanish, in a personalized and dynamic way. The classes are separated by levels (A0-B2), where you will learn the grammar of the language but also vocabulary and expressions to use on a daily basis with other speakers of the language. My idea is that each student learns the language at their own pace but understanding and daring to speak it from the first day. Support material (book, exercises, audios, etc) is always included. Classes can be individual or in groups, both online and in person (Brussels, Belgium). Classes will be given in English and Spanish. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I hope to see you soon and start discovering and learning this beautiful language! Greetings, Maria. --- ESP ¡Hola a todos! Mi nombre es Maria, musico Venezolana residiendo en Bélgica. En el mundo del arte, los idiomas y las culturas son parte fundamental para poder entendernos entre cada artista y conectar para poder crear algo hermoso juntos, en mi caso la música. Aparte de ser artista me gusta los idiomas y aprenderlos se ha convertido en una pasión para mi, por eso he decidió llevar esta pasión a otro nivel. Durante mis clases quiero ayudarte a aprender de una forma personalizada y dinámica mi lengua natal, que es el español latinoamericano. Las clases están separadas por niveles (A0-B2), en donde aprenderás la gramática de la lengua pero también vocabulario y expresiones para usar en el día a día con otros hablantes de la lengua. Mi idea es que cada alumno aprenda el idioma a su ritmo pero entendiendo y atreviéndose a hablarlo desde el primer día. Material de apoyo (libro, ejercicios, audios, etc) está incluido siempre. Las clases pueden ser individuales o en grupos, tanto online como en persona (Bruselas, Bélgica). Clases se darán en Ingles y español. No dudes en contactarme si tienes alguna pregunta. ¡Espero verte pronto y comenzar a descubrir y aprender este hermoso idioma! Saludos, Maria.
