Marco Academic EP
Cambridge C2 Proficiency, grade A. Postgrad diplomas in English Teaching Methodology & Ed.Psychology 'Perfect, purposeful practice', not just naive practice, is the key to excellence. Just doing something repeatedly will not produce the results you need. Naive practice just makes good and bad habits permanent. Perfect, purposeful practice is deliberate practice, which leads to: mental representations > informed deliberate practice > improvement >refined deliberate practice >> mental representations You go on practicing in an increasingly perfect way along the process. I can lead you through this practice, with guidance and feedback at every stage of your development. I rely on theories from educational psychology, neuroscience, applied linguistics and on my own extensive experience.

Around 10 years ago, I switched to one-to-one English tutoring and coaching. In this setting, I can identify more clearly individual needs and modify the course accordingly. I always try to strike a balance between enjoyment on the one hand and solid progress on the other.

Jessie
Hi :) I am a certified and experienced teacher with over 14 000 lessons on italki. I like to customize my sessions based on what my students need, and I use online materials instead of relying on a set textbook. During our conversations, I'll gently provide corrections, both spoken and written, without disrupting the natural flow of our discussion. This way, learning feels more comfortable and fluid. One of my biggest assets as a teacher, is my curiosity and ability to come up with questions to keep you speaking.

Stephen
Learn MORE THAN ENGLISH with Stephen! In our lessons, My aim is for you to talk for around 70% of the time, and me for 30% of the time. This is the best way to learn a new language, according to scientific research! It's important for me to have fun, as well as productive lessons. To do this, the lessons start with a short 'free conversation' for 5–10 minutes to check your English 'for daily life'. Then, a 'warm-up game' for around 10 minutes, which usually focus on 'collocations' - which are crucial to speaking English more naturally. After that, we will move on to the main part of the lesson, whether that be more structured conversation practice, reading and discussing articles, test preparation, or working with a textbook.

James
Dynamic & professional teacher from Scotland. I can help you with IELTS, Job Interviews & Fluency. The only way to learn a language is to use it. Many people tell me that even though they have spent years learning English in schools, they still don’t feel fluent or confident when speaking. My aim is to improve that by giving you the opportunity to use your English as much as possible to talk about a wide variety of topics, while correcting you and giving advice as we go. We will use real news articles and listening materials to help us – but we will spend most of the time speaking.
