Sobre mim

Hi, my name is Robert. I’m from New York where I worked in the information technology industry. Currently, I'm in Europe exploring different countries. I learned Spanish while staying here and have tried to learn other languages like Korean and Vietnamese when traveling in those countries. I have a passion for helping people achieve their English goals. I enjoy outdoor activities such as tennis, cycling and jogging.Minha atuação como professor
As a teacher, I’m engaging, fun and patient with my students and as a TEFL trainer, I have a solid understanding of grammar and teaching methods. I live in a non-English speaking country, so I understand some of your challenges in learning a foreign language. I can empathize with your struggles.
I have a wide range of teaching experience, from beginners to advance. My first job was teaching English for maths and science in a Thai primary school and then I taught Thai university students in a language center. I currently have online students from Germany, Taiwan, China and many other countries. I want my students to speak effective English whether it’s for work or pleasure!Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
All classes are customized to the student's needs. For conversation lessons, I prefer to use the test-teach-test method, where we briefly talk about the topic, usually with me asking a question or two about the topic. Then we will perform a conversational role play about the topic. At the end of the role play, I’ll give feedback. After, I may incorporate an exercise to add more relevant language and then redo the role-play.
I enjoy conversations and teach through them. My style is to provide constructive corrections and to instill confidence in the students.Meu material de ensino
