【I do not teach children.】Me as a Teacher
"Tell me and I forget, teach me and I may remember, involve me and I learn." - Benjamin Franklin
Ready to feel more confident when speaking English?
Learning a new language isn’t easy. There’s no magic button. No shortcut. No secret formula. It takes time, energy, and hard work! I can’t do it for you…but you don’t have to do it alone! With a bit of help and whole lot of practice (and maybe a few laughs) —I promise you’ll be surprised about how far you’ll go. How can I help? 😊
【I currently do not teach children. Classes may contain topics more suitable for adult learners.】My lessons & teaching style
• Lessons are focused on building your skills in all areas of language learning: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
• I use authentic materials including news articles, music, and videos to expose students to real-world language. Every lesson is built around a theme, ranging from ancient philosophy to the latest tech news—and everything in between!
• You will have the opportunity to express your ideas both through writing and speaking, while engaging in real-world conversations about relevant topics. Communication is the focus, while simultaneously expanding your vocabulary and reviewing grammatical structures as needed.
• All classes are conducted on Zoom.My teaching material

Étant depuis un an sur italki, c'est l'un des meilleurs professeurs que j'ai eu. Les cours portent toujours sur des sujets intéressants et variés. Brian est très professionnel dans sa manière d'enseigner : ponctuel, organisé, il nous envoie des documents, rédige des fiches avec nous pour progresser en prononciation, en vocabulaire et en grammaire. En bref, un super professeur pour progresser en anglais !

저는 1년동안 브라이언 선생님의 수업을 들었는데 강추드려요:)
특히 English workshop 수업은 듣기, 읽기, 쓰기, 말하기를 골고루 연습할 수 있어요.
수업 주제도 다양하고 난이도 별로 준비되어 있기 때문에
자신에게 알맞는 레벨과 자신이 관심있는 주제에 대해서 영어로 연습할 수있습니다.
그리고 아카데믹한 글쓰기를 원하시는 분께도 추천드립니다!
단순히 영어문법만을 체크해주시는 것이 아니라
더 전문적이고 아카데믹한 글을 쓸 수 있도록 지도해주세요.
I've been taking his English class for one year and I highly recommend it.
His English workshop is especially helpful because you can practice reading, writing, speaking, and listening.
He prepares classes at various levels with different topics, so you can practice at your desired level while learning about topics that interest you.
I recommend this class especially for those who are interested in academic writing. He doesn’t just correct grammar, he also teaches how to write professionally in an academic context.

Очень рекомендую занятия с Браеном всем, кто хотел бы улучшить конкретные языковые навыки - например, бизнес-коммуникацию на английском. Браен работает по собственной интерактивной и вовлекающей методике, дает очень много полезной информации и советов, которые можно применить на практике. Если вам нужен реальный опыт в использовании американского английского, Браен станет вашим лучшим помощником. Очень рекомендую этого преподавателя!

Brian is the best teacher. He never wastes a minute, the lessons are very active, intensive, and incredibly useful. I wish I had met him 10 years ago; I would have already been speaking English fluently.
