English for Beginners, Novices, and Advanced Speakers!

This class is for all levels of spoken and written English. The focus is to learn how to speak and write like a native speaker. Languages separate us, but learning languages brings us together! Whether you are a beginner or almost fluent, come learn English with me and we'll make progress together.

I love languages and the connections they allow us to make with each other. When we share our time with one another, expect to progress in your English through cultural exchange, laughter, and fun. :)

About Me

"History is boring." "It's so boring." "Ugh." "Why do I need to learn this?"

These quotes are so unfortunate, because it's just not true. I tell my students, "social studies is everything, because everything is social studies." We engage in discussions about current events, connecting what's happening now with what happened in the past. We question the narratives that had been taught to us in elementary school and are still taught to us through the media. Most importantly, we have fun doing it. We watch videos and share our impressions. We engage with texts and decipher just what the heck these (mostly) old, white men were saying (although Thomas Jefferson was only 32 when he wrote the Declaration of Independence!)

I believe that if something isn't engaging, it's not worth doing. It's why I make my classes interesting, so history isn't just something worth learning, it's something to become a part of.

Luciana Scorza
Adaptive and personalized English classes for all ages.
Hello! I'm Lulu, a bilingual English teacher with six years of experience. I teach English using a flexible methodology so that the language can be learned, or improved, naturally. My goal as a teacher is for students to learn to master the language in an authentic way. -I don't do exam preparation.- Classes revolve around interactive activities and spontaneous, in-depth conversations (to the extent each student allows). Communicating across languages is key to cognitive development and goes far beyond memorizing words: it's an opportunity to discover our own identity from a different perspective. To begin, I always do a couple of tests that help me profile the student from various areas, not just the level, and with that, I work with the individual to develop the class strategy, from frequency to method. I have worked with students of all ages, with diverse learning styles and unique needs, and while they often fit within certain parameters that correspond to pre-established teaching methodologies, each one is unique and deserves a personalized approach that respects their own pace. Therefore, the course format will depend on the objective, the level of each student, and, above all, their interests, as these will serve as a basis for guiding the learning process. Are these the typical classes you'd take at an academy? No, it's a more dynamic and personalized approach. If you're looking for a place to learn organically and deeply, I'm here to help.

Louie
English Classes for all Levels, Native British teacher with C2 level Spanish
I have an undergraduate degree in Languages and Cultures and a Master's degree in Translation. I have been where you are now, wherever you are in your language learning journey and I know how hard and frustrating it can be, but I also know exactly how to help you. I have a comprehensive knowledge of my own language from my studies and from learning another to such a high level, along with my previous experience teaching English to adult professionals, kids looking to pass their exams, or families relocating in an English-Speaking country. I can explain why English grammar is so crazy, help you with your pronunciation and answer those questions you have that your previous English teachers were never able to. I focus more on improving your fluency through conversation but whatever your needs, I'm the teacher who can help you, and make sure you're having fun doing so too.

simple present tense
The simple present tense, or in English it is called the simple present. It is the most used tense when speaking because it expresses personal habits, daily routine, or facts. It is formed from the first conjugation of the verb by adding s/es/ies to the singular subject (he/she/it or any singular noun) But the plural subject such as (you/we/they/i or any plural noun) is the verb in the infinitive, i.e. without any additions. There are frequency conditions that determine how often you do an action: Always Often Sometimes Never . Negation: Don't to negate the plural + infinitive Doesn't to negate a singular verb + the infinitive (inf). The infinitive means that the verb is without any additions.
