Practical English for Real Life, Work and Confidence with a Native Teacher

From 51 C$ /h

Speak English more naturally and confidently in lessons designed around your goals, interests and current level. I am a native English speaker from the United States with 15 years of teaching experience, and I work with students from complete beginner to advanced level.

Lessons can focus on everyday conversation, business English, interviews, travel, grammar, pronunciation, vocabulary, academic English, presentations, debate or detailed discussion. Rather than following the same textbook with every student, I adapt the material and teaching method to what you actually need.

My lessons are friendly and comfortable, but also structured and purposeful. I explain difficult points clearly, correct mistakes supportively and give you plenty of opportunities to speak. As a long-term learner of Japanese and Korean, I understand how challenging it can be to express yourself in another language.

We can also build lessons around subjects you genuinely enjoy, including business, entrepreneurship, finance, technology, psychology, fitness, travel, manga, anime and current events. Whether you need English for daily life, professional development or meaningful conversation, I will help you communicate with greater accuracy, confidence and independence.

Hello,

My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language.

In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US, I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times,

I have a bachelor's degree in English literature and linguistics, so I enjoy teaching grammar and nuances. Please feel free to contact me and communicate your concerns so that I can customize your lesson.

I have a variety of programs to work with based on your level, interest and special request.

I offer a one-day, 7-hour presentation seminar (or seven 1-hour classes) providing the skills to improve both your presentation content and ability and give a strong boost to your confidence!
Skills include voice and non-verbal skills, handling Q&A and powerpoint design.

Please note this seminar is for 1-4 people and the total fee is the same, so if four people attend, the "hourly rate" would be much lower per person.

In this course, we will discuss and practice many ways to write friendly, easy-to-understand business letters and emails and get good reader feedback (good quality replies). In my career as a businessman and teacher, I have learned that the most effective letters reflect a positive, natural sounding, reader-focused writing style.

We will begin by writing inquiry letters, replies to inquiries, and routine letters (for example, shipping matters, accounting matters, payments, status reports, and other routine topics). We will also deal with "Bad News" letters, such as overdue payments, complaints, claims, and other issues.

Hello, I taught English for a total of 10 years in Tokyo, Brazil and Argentina.. I have taught over 1000 students in businesses, private residences and coffee shops.. I feel the most important thing about being a good teacher is teaching self confidence to students. Then the students talk more and find other ways to practice what they are learning. I will adapt my lessons to the students weaknesses and to what they would like to get from learning English. I have been to over 88 countries so my lessons are never boring..I really love to teach English because it’s the most useful language for business and travel.
