English as a Second (ESL) Language for Professionals

From 40.37 £ /h

My lessons are customized for each student towards their goals. That is when we discuss the reason the student wants or needs an English tutor and I evaluate the level of the student. From there, I create a custom plan that will guide the student to their specific goal.

Often, I coach my students through a successful job search: from making sure their resume makes them stand out for their target position, to interview preparation and follow-up. In addition, I help with university application essays to make sure the essay makes my student shine for their target schools or schools.

Extra information

Native speaker with neutral accent. Tell me your goal with your English. Together, we will make it happen: resume, job interview preparation, university application or other project.

Tell me your goals for English and I will you get there! Together, we'll work on your current important project in English: resume, presentation, graduate school application or even an article.

My teaching method is task-based. If you have no current project that needs attention, I find material in English that will interest you. We use that for reading, writing and speaking. It's a great way to build vocabulary and confidence.

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.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

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 :)
