In a trial lesson, we will get to know each other with a casual conversation for 30 minutes via video call. We can also plan your future studies based on your goals in this lesson! Kindly message me on italki if you have anything specific you would like me to know before the class starts!

------
Notes and Terms:

1) Rarely, some lessons may have to end about 1 to 3 minutes early to ensure I am not late for the next student. Do not worry if this happens; we can compensate for the lost time in a future lesson! :)

2) As of May 2nd, 2022, Zoom has a 40-minute time limit. Trial lessons are only 30 minutes long, so this should not be an issue for this lesson type. 

3) CANCELLATION/RESCHEDULING POLICY:
Please notify me at least 24 hours before the lesson to cancel/reschedule.

If a student is late or absent, I will wait for the entire lesson duration. However, I will not go over the scheduled lesson time to make up for lost time due to the student's lateness or absence.

After the scheduled lesson ends, I will leave the communication tool and charge the total price of the class. If you book a class you automatically agree to these terms.

In these lessons, we can talk about anything and everything! Practice your English skills with a native and get feedback based on your language usage. If you have something specific you want to learn and want me to know about it, don't hesitate to send me a message on italki! I hope to speak with you soon!

NOTE: For kids, students who wish to prepare for an English test like IELTS or TOEIC, and people who want to prepare for a job interview or presentation for their work, please use the appropriate lesson categories instead of using "Conversation Practice."

Notes and Terms:
1) For Conversation Practice lessons, homework is assigned occasionally. For more frequent homework assignments, please talk to the teacher about options.

2) Rarely, some lessons may have to end about 1 to 3 minutes early to ensure I am not late for the next student. Do not worry if this happens; we can compensate for the short time loss in a future lesson! :)

3) As of May 2nd, 2022, Zoom has a 40-minute time limit. Meetings longer than 40 minutes will require us to exit and re-enter the session (this takes 1-2 mins). If this fails, we will need to complete the remainder of the lesson on iTalki classroom or Skype. Other meeting applications (i.e., Skype) do not have meeting time limits.

Conversation Practice

Prepare for your English test with customized lessons tailored to your weak areas!

For All Tests
Lessons are made specific to your test of choice and ability level. I will, quite regularly, provide homework customized to your needs. 

For IELTS/TOEFL/TOEIC
I will use my slides for these lessons when applicable. We will also use other general test books, various online tests, videos, and other material, depending on whether they are helpful or recommended by the student. The material will be relevant to the test. *You are free to suggest material you found yourself! :)*

English Test Preparation and Practice (TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC)

Please use this lesson category for lessons for children from the ages of 3 to 12 years old. Teaching children requires more preparation, so it costs a little more than adult lessons. However, I will do my best for your child. Before the first lesson, please send details about your child via italki message, including their native language, how much English they know, what they like, and what they want or need to learn (if there's anything specific).

Kindly note that 30-minute lessons are preferred for children due to their attention span and the difficulty involved in keeping their attention.

You may use the other lesson categories if your child is 13 or above.

Notes and Terms:
1) For kid's lessons, homework is sometimes assigned, depending on the child's age and ability. The teacher determines when and if to send homework, and parent suggestions are considered.

2) Rarely, some lessons may have to end about 1 to 3 minutes early to ensure I am not late for the next student. Do not worry if this happens; we can compensate for the short time loss in a future lesson! :)

★NEW★ Kids Lesson (3-12 years old)

I will help you prepare for your English job interview by listening to your answers to job interview questions that I can prepare in advance (with enough notice) and providing feedback during or after the lesson. I can also listen to and help you design a presentation for your job (please note that this is mainly limited to assisting you with native-level English).

If you are in the IT industry, then this lesson category is especially suited for you as I have experience in that industry academically and in the real world. However, other job sectors are welcome on a general level, as I also have a degree in business.

Before the first lesson, please send me a message on italki with plenty of details so the lesson can be most helpful for you.
