InterestsArtMuziekFilms & TV Series
I'm the type of guy who enjoys a deep conversation from time to time, finds peace of mind in organization and needs to listen to music every single day to continue living. Currently, I'm an actor in an improv theater group and I'm thankful because it has nourished my role as a teacher. Art and languages have been in my life since I was a kid. Being a shy boy I found watching TV very entertaining; I used to draw characters from cartoons and imitate accents from South American soap operas. Later on, music, dancing, acting and other forms of art came into my life thanks to movies and series and with them I got to know and got passionate about the English language.
Ik als leerkracht
I majored in English Philology as an undergraduate and I've given classes for four years now. For me, listening to my students and getting to know their needs is key for lessons to work, as your interests and tastes drive the tool called language. I'm open to learning from any topic, so feel free to talk to me.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
After getting to know each other and knowing your necessities, my lessons follow the PPP (presentation, practice, production) structure. Organizing the sessions in this way provides us with time for interaction, time for you to practice by yourself and for giving you immediate feedback. I use games for setting the mood and reviewing vocabulary, we have discussions, grammar exercises and pronunciation and intonation sessions (I'm very persistent in these two). Generally, I follow the project-based learning approach since the content is all connected and it is strengthend with each lesson, however, the teaching method is adaptable to what better fits your learning needs.

James is attentive, engaging and knowledgable. He comes up with creative ideas for working on a specific issue (in my case, pronunciation). I highly recommend working with him.
