Over mij
italki leerkracht sinds 18 Nov 2016InterestsFinanciënMuziekHistoryReizenIT
I have 8 years of experience teaching online. I’ve spent my career helping people communicate confidently and effectively in their everyday lives, as well as in interviews and professional settings. Whether you need to prepare for a big presentation, improve your fluency, or feel more confident in meetings, I’ll give you practical tools and personalised feedback to help you.
I’ve worked with professionals from major companies like AXA, Alten and KPMG, helping them refine their communication skills. As a Spanish speaker, I know what it's like to learn a language as an adult, and I will help you lose the fear of making mistakes. Our lessons will be effective, enjoyable and tailored to you.Ik als leerkracht
The only way to learn a language is to use it. Many students tell me that after years of studying English in school, they still don’t feel fluent or confident when speaking. My goal is to change that.
In our lessons, you’ll speak as much as possible about a wide range of topics, while I provide real-time corrections and practical advice to help you improve. We’ll use authentic materials like news articles and audio clips to develop your listening and comprehension skills, but the focus will always be on speaking—because that’s how you truly gain confidence and fluency.Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Our sessions will be relaxed, flexible, and built around your goals. Unlike traditional courses, we won’t follow a textbook—instead, we’ll focus on practical language skills that help you gain confidence and fluency in real-life situations. If you have any special requests, please let me know.
During our lessons, I’ll provide real-time corrections, personalised feedback, and clear examples to help you improve. I also have grammar materials if you’d like to work on the technical side of the language.
Whatever your goals, I’ll tailor our lessons to suit your needs—so you can speak with confidence and communicate effectively.Mijn lesmateriaal

James is polite, high quality business teacher. Our lesson was exciting and interesting. He could figure out in my issue and he started to help me to prepare for job interview at the first lesson. I really liked him. I will continue study with James!

James constantly challenges me to use new vocabulary, helping me expand my language skills.
