I can assist you in improving your command of the English language by engaging in conversations on various topics. To be proficient in any given language, I believe you must begin communicating and interacting with someone who is either a native speaker or fluent in the language. Most of the time in my class, I will employ the conversational method. I am open to requests that would benefit your learning objectives.

Having meaningful and pleasant conversations with people like Ian is the best way to improve English speaking skills. Sometimes I fully delved into the topic and forgot about that I’m actually practicing English. It’s more like chatting with a friend than talking English class.

I've already had a few lessons with Ian and after each lesson I could happily write a new positive review. Today, I'd like to report that I've become aware of Ian's podcasts. Ian has published some really interesting podcasts here on italki. I highly recommend these podcasts. Ian has published interesting little stories in each episode. The podcasts are very professionally spoken, very motivating and therefore very helpful for me in improving my English. I've now incorporated the podcasts into my weekly English homework. I'm already looking forward to new podcasts episodes from Ian.
