It is time for your own English Convesational Coach

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 18.76 £ /h

I became a TEFL English Teacher back in 2008. After 12 years of teaching all levels and all sorts of groups, I've become very aware of what works and what doesn't... Trying to learn English grammar rules before being able to understand the language, it will always be hard work for the learner and also very frustrating. No matter what country you are born into, first, you learn how to speak and then you learn the rules. Acquiring additional languages should not be any different.
I am sure you have spent a long time learning English but, how many times have you had the chance to simply see how well you would do through a normal English conversation as you would do with a friend? Not many right?...
My coaching sessions are designed to constantly generate conversation between you and me. We will talk about everything and anything. I will catch those little mistakes you will make here and there. We will fix them on the spot through mental gymnastics, pills of wisdom, reminders, and everything else I have in store for you. You will do most of the talking. Good teachers are the ones that let their students speak, don't forget that.
Your confidence, your fluency, and your accuracy will forcefully improve with time. I will make sure I introduce to you (in due time) verbs, expressions, and vocabulary essential to your everyday English. A Win-Win!
If you are up for the challenge please make sure you have at least a low intermediate level to be able to follow a simple conversation. If your level is lower than that, you will have to be very patient with yourself and conversations could be slower at the beginning.
I am super patient, a great listener, and I have a passion for English. I will be more for you than just an English teacher. I will guide you, encourage you, and basically offer you that "safe pool" where you can polish your speaking skills in a safe, private, cool environment to let yourself speak without worries :)
My accent is a neutral British English accent and I can also help you improve your pronunciation.

About Me

Hi, I'm Maia. I trained as an English teacher with the best and got my TEFL (Teaching English as a foreign language) certificate in Dublin, May 2008. I became a teacher because I really wanted to help others speak this language and help them speak it. well.
Frustration with the traditional method of language learning (which I personally have also suffered) has been the catalyst for this program. Many of us are tired of having to learn the rules of a language without even knowing how to speak it (I am currently learning French and the same thing happens to me). Understanding a Present Perfect or the Past continuous in English when it is difficult for you to talk about basic things becomes an impossible mission and one is heartless because he thinks it is null for languages. The reality is that when you were little you learned to speak without having to know that it was the Past Perfect. You learned through “trial and error”. Mom or dad or the teacher gently corrected or repeated correctly what was wrong, such as; Mom, I broke the door. While you were learning Spanish, you didn't need explanations about how you spoke or when you did it ... you just spoke it. Stop trying to invent the wheel. It is time to re-learn to speak as it has been done since the beginning of time.
That is what I want to show you in these sessions. You don't need metaphysical explanations to speak English well. Yes, grammar is necessary but it does not have to be a tostón and the vocabulary can be learned in an entertaining and fun way through the real practice of it, as well as the grammar rules.
You need three things to speak English and together we will take care of each one of them but through the real practice of the language where you will be the main protagonist.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)
