Hey there! I'm Alex, and I'm here to make language learning not just productive but also exciting to the nth degree. I am soft-spoken, patient, and always there for my students. I'm an ex-chef who through his own passion for learning languages eventually entered the realm of teaching English to others. I am not your typical teacher, however. I believe that learning should always be interactive, enjoyable, and it should be built around using the language most engagingly. No matter if you're a beginner or an advanced learner, no matter if you're here for grammar or conversational practice or even Business English, I know I can help you–and we can have super enjoyable classes together!
Me as a Teacher
Forget about the boring lectures or grammar classes you might have had to endure in the past – I'm here to change the game. Combining my animate excited nature with my knowledge and experience teaching English, I promise that I will help you learn the language in a way that is both efficient and fun. Independent of your level, I can teach you. Independent of your goal, I can help you achieve it.My lessons & teaching style
My long career has allowed me to craft the perfect way of presenting English to both new learners and experienced scholars. My classes combine interactive materials, games, real-world media, textbooks, and active language use to maximise my students' performance. Expect to be asked a plethora of questions, given some challenging tasks during the lessons and creative homework after. During conversational classes, you can feel free to bring up any topics of your choosing, as I can match your spectrum of interests (some of the topics I like to discuss: travelling, cooking, movies, music, politics, economics, personal finance, etc.). I will also provide you with regular feedback and assessment.My teaching material
