If you'd like, we can have a 30-minute "get to know you" speaking lesson, or if you're interested in grammar or something else, let me know and we can get started!

These lessons will be conversation based and YOU will be doing most of the speaking. Either you will pick topics or I will pick topics that are relevant to your English journey- you can decide.

I will correct some of your mistakes during the lesson. I don't correct every single mistake but I will either correct you on the spot or will note all important mistakes. Sometimes it's necessary to wait until you have completed a sentence or thought before any correction should be done- it's important to also practice flow when speaking a foreign language. 

You will receive feedback from me via email after (or at the very end of) each lesson.

Speaking lessons

General English lessons:

Our lessons will incorporate speaking, listening, writing, and grammar. Lessons will be tailored to meet your needs! I will send notes after each lesson, share relevant materials, and assign homework.

While we are in our lessons, we will probably divide the time up into two categories - speaking and grammar. Half the time we will focus on grammar, and half the time on speaking. Homework assigned will usually require you to do some writing, listening, reading, and definitely reviewing. 

After the first few lessons, I'll make a plan for us to follow- it's usually about a 40-lesson syllabus. We don't have to follow it, but it will be a helpful guide for us.

Grammar lessons:

In these lessons, we'll dive deep into all the questions that you might have about grammar. If you don't have specific questions, I will guide you with resources and I will explain with clarity how and why we formulate our sentences the way that we do. I will provide you with trustworthy, additional resources so you can learn from multiple perspectives. Our lessons will be completely customized to meet your needs.

Sometimes I teach grammar in the lessons and then assign homework- and sometimes I first assign homework and then the student "presents" what they've learned. Both systems work really well- the first system working well with A1-B2 students, and the second working well with B2-C1 students.

General English lessons / Grammar lessons

If you need to simply chat with a native speaker to practice your English, these informal conversation lessons are just for you. Perhaps you have a presentation you need to practice for, or a speaking exam tomorrow, or you're getting ready to travel abroad and need to warm up a bit. You will bring the topics and you will steer the conversation! 

*Lessons for adults only. Please note that if you'd like homework, lesson plans, or written feedback please take my speaking lessons instead.
