Learn British English in a stress-free atmosphere.
From 39 C$ /h
My approach to teaching English is based on 35 years' experience. That is, quality is more important, not quantity.
* The student receives a text in English - approximately an A4 page. The text is based on current events or topics. (But no religion or politics!)
* We read the text for pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar. The student is free to ask questions about the text; grammar, vocabulary, syntax, and so on.
* There is an open discussion about the subject of the text. At this stage, I correct verbal mistakes and recommend ways to improve the student's conversational English.
* Then we go to specific language exercises based on the text; grammar, parts of speech and question forms. (I focus on question forms in every lesson because these cause the biggest problems for English language learners.)
Finally, I summarize the lesson and point out how the student can improve his/her English.
