Improve Your English Speaking Skills with an Experienced TEFL-Certified Teacher

From 38 C$ /h

Hello, I'm Gilad!

My online ESL classes are designed to help my students master all facets of their English speaking and writing skills, from pronunciation to grammar to vocab to overall accuracy and fluency. My goal is to help you get to a native level as quickly and efficiently as possible.

I believe the most effective way of learning a new language is through consistent practice and application. My lessons tend to involve a lot of interactive activities, which are then followed up by notes and drilling activities. This will help you become more confident as an English speaker and build great habits to help you overcome difficulties more efficiently.

Such activities could include pronunciation challenges such as minimal pair exercises, fill-in-the-blank assignments for grammar practice, and casual conversation exercises to help you practice speaking more fluently.

In terms of my attitude, I am a dedicated, patient, hardworking teacher who always goes the extra mile to help my students succeed. My priority is for my classes to be fun, engaging, informative, and also personalized to each student’s unique needs.

My classes are geared toward adult ESL students with pre-intermediate/intermediate English skills, but I'm also comfortable teaching high school students and beginner speakers, as well!

Extra information

All you need for this class is to be somewhere quiet, with a working microphone and a good internet connection.

About Me

Hello, I'm Gilad!

I'm a TEFL-certified ESL teacher who has been teaching online ESL classes for over 2 years. I have an Honours BA degree in English, Film, and Philosophy from the University of Toronto. It was during my studies that I discovered my passion for education. I began offering private tutoring lessons for high school and university students in essay and writing skills following graduation, which then led me to online ESL tutoring.

In my career as an ESL tutor, I have worked with close to 100 students of all experience levels and from all parts of the world. I prioritize making my classes tailored to each student's specific needs and learning styles. I don't just follow formulas when it comes to teaching and I try to keep things engaging by incorporating a variety of exercises and activities in my lessons. My classes have helped students advance their skills in a remarkably short period of time.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

You've watched enough K-dramas to know 사랑해. This course takes you from there to real conversations. We start from zero, including the alphabet. No textbook dialogues. Just the Korean people actually use day to day.

What you'll learn :
- Read Hangul (it takes about two lessons)
- Casual vs polite Korean, and when to use each
- Introduce yourself, order at a cafe, react to things, and text a Korean friend
- Current slang, and which words are already going out of style

There's no fixed number of lessons. In the first class, I'll check your level and goals, and build the plan around you. Once the basics are down, we keep going with more conversation, more real situations, and more slang.

About me: I'm a native Korean speaker who has lived in Japan for 11 years and went to an international school. I am also experienced in teaching Korean, so I know how to explain things clearly to beginners.
