In my general conversation classes, I aim to create a dynamic and personalized learning experience tailored to your preferences and goals. Each session begins with a check-in to understand how you're feeling and how I can best support your learning journey. This initial discussion allows you to express any specific requests or questions you may have, ensuring our time together is productive and focused.

I offer two main types of classes:

Structured Classes:
If you prefer a more structured approach, you can request that I guide the conversation with specific questions or topics of interest to you. Prior to the class, please message me with your preferences so I can prepare relevant vocabulary and conversation starters. I can suggest typical topics for discussion, but I encourage you to share any specific ideas or requests you have in mind. This approach helps maintain focus and allows us to delve deeper into areas that interest you the most.

Free Talk Classes:
For those who enjoy a more flexible and spontaneous approach, my free talk classes provide an open platform where we can discuss virtually any topic of your choice. Many of my students in free talk classes see me not just as a teacher but as a conversational partner and friend. You are welcome to bring up any specific subjects you wish to practice or explore. If you prefer, we can bypass basic introductions and dive straight into engaging discussions.

Please Note:
In both structured and free talk classes, I actively participate by typing corrections and feedback in the chat while we converse. My role is to facilitate your speaking practice, ask relevant questions, and offer language corrections to help improve your fluency and accuracy.

Additional Information:
My classes are designed for adult learners and are not suitable for children or elementary-level students.
