Very professional, pleasant and adaptable. Thank you Justin !
I greatly enjoy the lessons with Justin. He brings both linguistic expertise and a similar scientific background. This helps in discussing more complex topics, acquiring an appropriate academic vocabulary, and preparing for presentations or workshop participation. Additionally, Justin is very flexible with scheduling. He is willing to help with urgent questions on short notice. Communication with him is quick and straightforward.
Thank you very much Justin! A coach with a lot of patience, precision and flexibility. Particularly for French speakers, because with his years in Belgium, Justin knows our problems in English well ;)

Santiago
Conversational virtual classes in English for young people and adults
Hi, My name is Santiago and I am offering individual and personalized virtual English classes to improve both your oral and written communication. The main focus of my classes is on developing English language communication in a fluid and structured way, whether to prepare for international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate adequately in the professional field, or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language. I have a degree, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English since I was a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School and lived for a year and a half in Thailand, followed by 4 years in the USA, I acquired great knowledge and fluency in the English language. In Thailand I spent a year and a half studying communication arts and this helped me prepare for my studies in the US I had several communication classes, learning techniques on how to speak better using not only our words, but also our body to help us speak in a way more natural, calm and without getting nervous if we get stuck or forget what we wanted to say. During my career in the US I was constantly writing essays for my classes, in addition to having to present projects in front of my teachers and classmates. At the same time, I was working at university and after graduating I worked for a year, mainly having long conversations on the phone with people from all over the country. Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I will prepare you so that you can meet your objectives. It could be studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving communication in the professional field or practicing so as not to lose the level previously acquired. If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I am going to help you. My methodology is simple. Each person is different and I adapt the content of my classes to the needs and interests of my students. We all learn in different ways and at different times, that is why I design my classes individually.

Reading and creative writing classes, as well as writing articles and essays.
Both reading and writing are disciplines that require, today more than ever, periodic exercise and constant encouragement. For this, it is convenient to know the concerns and interest in the different subjects of each reader, regardless of their age. We must bear in mind that we are facing a paradigm shift and that technological progress affects our ways of communicating: the language we use as and the different forms of expression. To encourage children, as well as adolescents, to read, we need to motivate them, provide them with tools that allow them to discover the expressive and playful possibilities that these activities entail. In this way they will be able to face this activity in an active and participatory way, and not just passive (responding to a duty imposed by a teacher). These tools will be useful both for carrying out their homework and for acquiring greater skill and interest in the art of critically analyzing each subject they read, as well as for composing their own articles, essays, and narratives. And all this through the enjoyment that centuries of stories have given us.

Spanish classes for foreigners: Learn by speaking
The priority of the class is conversation as a means of teaching. The classes are taught in lessons per module, a total of four, where the students will interact in the development of the classroom, seeking learning in the interdisciplinary context. In module one and two, the aim is to reach the basic level through everyday conversations that are essential for learning the first words and phrases, enriching the knowledge of grammar. Arriving at modules three and four, the student will feel more confident when speaking, writing, reading and listening to the language through the topics raised.
