Who are you:

You have progressed a lot since A1/A2 and can talk about a lot of everyday topics very easily.  And can handle many difficult topics also.  The difference between you and a B1 student is that you understand a lot more than you are able to say and this will be very frustrating.  If there is a word that you want to say, but you don't know how to, you know how to find a way around it. 

DESCRIPTION:
. Speaking is key
. Warm up activities followed by comprehensive tasks

Lower & Upper-Intermediate B1 or B2 * Lower & Upper Advanced C1 & C2

This course is for adults and teenagers only.  Those who just want to practice what they already know.  Or refresh their memory.  During this informal lesson, we can talk about anything you want.  We can chose a few fun and engaging topics together or you can tell me before what you'd like to speak about.  Or maybe you have an interview or conference you need to prepare for.  During this lesson, I will give you feedback, correction and advise.  We will focus on your Speaking and Listening Skills only.  Some homework could be included if you'd like.

Please note that in this course, I will NOT be teaching grammar that is completely new to you.  But I will help you to maintain and polish what you already know.  Or I may give you alternative ways to say certain things.  If you are a beginner, intermediate or an advanced level student, this course is aimed at practicing conversation at your level.

The most important thing is that this lesson will be fun and relaxed.  So don't be shy.  We can go as slow or as fast as you like.  No pressure for you.

So if you and 2-3 of your friends want to work together to improve your conversation fluency, this course will work for you.
