English Language for Beginners or Intermediate Level - English Conversation Practice

25 £ /h

I am a native Russian speaker who have been living in London for almost ten years. Completed BA and MA degrees in University of Westminster. Passionate about people's development, and therefore will be happy to help people to learn English language.

The fear of failure, being misunderstood and grammar mistakes are the three most common reasons why people are afraid to speak English. Together we can work through this and I promise it is easier than it seems :) When I came to London I had a vocabulary, but was very shy to speak, as I though that people will laugh or misunderstand me. It took a while, but I decided to open up and talk the way I could. Surprise - everyone understood me without any problem.

Here I am today to offer my help and support to you. We will have great conversations on different topics. Sometimes all you need is just 30-45 mins a day to talk things through and to keep up to date with your English.

This class will suit for beginners and people with intermediate knowledge of English. We will focus on the areas that you would like to improve whether it is speaking, writing or listening. I have also experience in IELTS tests, as I had to do it myself some time ago, therefore, I will be happy to support you with this too.

➤ Being a good manager is also being a good communicator. After all, a strategy can only be put into practice if you show yourself capable of interacting with your employees, of being a source of inspiration for them and of listening to their concerns. Unfortunately, not all managers naturally excel in this role and their difficulties in asserting themselves as true leaders is often attributable to their difficulties in communicating.

➤ The objective would then be to explore together the areas of improvement in terms of communication know-how. And managing effectively requires specific and advanced know-how.

➤ In fact, managerial communication corresponds to the interactions between the management of the company and the organization and more specifically, between the manager and his team. This executive is in charge of transmitting information and directives from higher hierarchical levels, supporting internal communication, distilling messages related to his own management to obtain the commitment of his team, all while transmitting a message effectively.

➤ This exercise can therefore be tricky: this is why it is important to choose the right mediator in order to be well supported, not only to be understood by those around him, but also to carry out his mission.

➤ What to communicate? When ? Whose ? These questions will find an answer in the consistency of the actions undertaken. Good managerial communication will thus aim to exchange / dialogue effectively with its employees, maintain a close link between the different layers of the company, bring human relations back to the heart of the company, establish a climate of trust and good team cohesion, motivate by inspiring.

➤ In short, each session combines techniques & practice exercises adapted to your everyday situations (filmed with your agreement in order to be reviewed, commented on, decoded together live), so that you can put them into practice immediately, and this from the 1st session.

Statistically, the progression following these private sessions is quickly noticeable, from 2 or 3 sessions *. (* study 2020).

➤ THE TRAINER:
Trained in Grande Ecole post-preparatory classes & Ivy League university in the United States, our teacher has specialized and has been working for more than 15 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication , in reputable international public and private establishments, intervening in forums and conferences, and oriented on two axes: training and coaching, with pedagogy and careful methodology as key words.
