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.

The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Soy alemán de nacimiento y actualmente vivo en Guadalajara. Enseño alemán y inglés con authenticidad, no con a style de libro de texto rigido.
Ya tenía inglés básico en Alemania. Sin embargo, viví en los Estados Unidos durante 4 anos y luego pude mejorar enormousmente el inglés estadounidense.
Hablo despacio y con claridad para que realmente puedas seguir el ritmo, y además enseño lenguaje corporal, que en alemán it tan importante como las palabras mismas. Conmigo learns more than just the idioma.

Self-Introduction
Hi ! My name is Ali, and I'm an English teacher from Iran with over 4 years of online teaching experience. I hold TEFL and TTC (Teacher Training Course) certificates and specialize in teaching General English and IELTS to students from A1 to C1 levels.

My main goal is to help students become confident English speakers. I focus on speaking fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and natural communication, creating lessons that are practical, interactive, and tailored to each student's needs. Whether you're preparing for the IELTS exam, improving your conversation skills, or building a stronger foundation in English, I'll create a learning plan that matches your goals.

I believe students learn best when they feel comfortable and motivated, so I always try to create a friendly and supportive classroom where making mistakes is part of the learning process. I use a variety of materials, including customized PDFs, real-life topics, videos, and speaking activities, to keep lessons engaging and effective.

Outside of teaching, I'm passionate about technology, American movies, podcasts, music, nature, and bodybuilding. I enjoy discussing these topics with students because they make conversations more interesting and help learners use English naturally.

If you're looking for a patient, dedicated teacher who can help you improve your English with enjoyable and goal-oriented lessons, I'd be happy to work with you. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your English goals!
Cover Letter
I have over 4 years of online teaching experience and hold TEFL and Teaching Training Course (TTC) certificates. During this time, I have worked with adult learners, especially students preparing for the IELTS exam, helping them improve their speaking, writing, grammar, vocabulary, and overall confidence in English.

I believe every student learns differently, so I tailor my lessons to each learner's goals and learning style. I also create personalized PDF materials and practical activities to make lessons engaging, effective, and focused on real progress.

My classes are friendly, interactive, and student-centered. I encourage students to speak as much as possible while providing clear explanations and constructive feedback in a supportive learning environment.

In addition to teaching, I enjoy technology, movies, music, and sports and nature which helps me build engaging conversations and connect with students from different backgrounds.

I am passionate about helping students achieve their English goals, whether they are preparing for IELTS or improving their everyday communication skills. I would be delighted to join your platform and contribute to your students' success.

I look forward to the opportunity to work with you. ;)
