Conversational English & Communication Skills – Native Teacher with 18+ Years of Experience

Hello! I am a native English teacher with over 18 years of experience helping students and professionals develop confident, natural, and effective spoken English. My lessons focus on real communication, not textbooks or memorized phrases. Whether you need English for work, travel, social situations, or international environments, I help you speak clearly and comfortably in real-life conversations.

I work with learners at all levels, from beginners who want to start speaking English, to advanced speakers who want to sound more fluent, natural, and professional. My approach is practical, supportive, and results-oriented, with a strong focus on speaking, listening, and interaction.

Focus on Real-Life Communication
My conversation classes are designed to help you communicate naturally and confidently in both everyday and professional situations. Lessons are built around realistic, real-life scenarios, from casual conversations and social interactions to travel and daily communication. We also work on workplace communication, including meetings, phone and video calls, teamwork, and giving or receiving feedback, as well as more formal professional situations such as presentations, interviews, negotiations, and networking. Special attention is given to cross-cultural communication, helping you feel comfortable and confident in international environments. Throughout the lessons, you will learn how to express your ideas clearly, react spontaneously, ask questions naturally, and maintain smooth, engaging conversations in English.

Communication Skills Development
In addition to conversation practice, I focus on helping you develop the communication skills that are essential for speaking English effectively and confidently. We work on improving fluency and reducing hesitation so you can speak more smoothly and naturally. You will expand your practical vocabulary and learn natural expressions that native speakers actually use, while also refining your pronunciation, rhythm, and intonation. A key part of my approach is building confidence and reducing the fear of making mistakes, allowing you to speak more freely. I also help you structure your ideas clearly and coherently when speaking, so your message is easy to follow. Throughout the lessons, I provide continuous feedback and gentle correction, always aiming to help you sound natural while maintaining accuracy.

Personalized Lessons – Tailored to You
Each student is different, which is why every course is fully personalized. At the beginning, I assess your level, goals, and communication challenges, then design a learning plan adapted to your needs. Whether you want to improve social English, professional communication, or overall speaking confidence, lessons are structured around your objectives.

Topics, pace, and activities are adjusted regularly to ensure steady progress and motivation.

What You Can Expect from My Conversation Classes?
* Speaking-focused lessons with maximum student talk time
* Interactive role-plays and real-life scenarios
* Clear, constructive feedback on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation
* A supportive and relaxed learning environment
* Flexible online lessons adapted to your schedule

There is no pressure, no judgment, and no unnecessary theory—just effective practice that helps you speak English with confidence.

Who Are These Classes For?
* Professionals who need to communicate confidently at work
* Students and adults who want to improve spoken English
* Expats, travelers, and international professionals
* Learners who understand English but struggle to speak fluently
* Anyone who wants to sound more natural and confident in English

Let’s work together to make English feel natural, confident, and truly usable in your daily and professional life.

It is a question of putting in place rational and professional tools to defuse conflicts and enter your comfort / security zone. In particular simple and logical techniques, which make it possible to resolve and manage violent situations in a harmonious, efficient and lasting way.

The objectives are:
0. Understand and identify the issues / risks then find a balance between empathy and conviction
1. Use interpersonal communication techniques resulting from mediation to defuse tensions and gain distance
2. Dissociate the relational and the nature of the disagreement - Overcome cognitive and psychological obstacles
3. Acquire the techniques of self-defense and mastery without hurting and being injured
4. Face and then defuse difficult behaviors (blackmail attempts, threats, destabilization) or even dangerous with a mediation strategy
5. Develop conflict management and negotiation skills by alternating attentive listening, active speaking and rationality in the face of the limited rationality of the angry individual.

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

Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, our teacher has specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology.

PLACES :
- Locations: Geneva-Lausanne-Friborg-Neuchâtel-Montreux-Bâle-Sion-Sierre-Morges-Bienne. But currently, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of direct (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (ex: loss of travel time), with additional advantages (ex: of notes on the chat, which can be reread afterwards). In this context, these videoconference sessions for which you have requested me, seem to arouse a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). At your request, I therefore continue to offer them.

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.

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

Hola,
¿cómo estás?☺️
My name is Joana. I am a native Spanish teacher, with a degree in Spanish Literature and Language and a Master's degree in Spanish as a foreign language (UNED Faculty).
■ Since 2009 I have been working at the Cervantes Institute as an OFFICIAL EXAMINER of DELE diplomas (Diploma in Spanish as a Foreign Language)
(I am fluent in French, so during the course I give all the necessary explanations in French on grammatical rules or vocabulary.
Having extensive teaching experience, I prepare students/adults for all levels of the DELE Spanish Diplomas and for all official Spanish exams within Universities.
● Spanish courses for adults who intend to travel or live in a Spanish-speaking country.
● Specialized fun Spanish courses for children (6-13 years old), audiovisual material, interactive games on the internet, choice of textbooks taking into account their age. Children learn the language through experiences and experiences while having fun.
● Help with school homework/exams for French students (all levels, + preparation for BTS, CNED)
● Spanish courses for adults who use Spanish in a professional context (Business Spanish: tourism/restaurants, law, etc.)
● Spanish pronunciation/phonetics/conversation courses (exercises provided by the Cervantes Institute). During my Master's degree, I specialized in Spanish phonetics for foreigners. Students can achieve a very good level of oral production even if they are beginners* :)
● Written production, grammar, oral and written comprehension.
● Spanish civilization course.
I live in Spain, so I give all my classes on Skype.
Skype classes are very flexible and as effective as face-to-face classes! (100% success rate for all Cervantes Institute DELE diplomas and all university exams!)
■ COMPLETE learning materials provided to all my students according to their personal level/age/interests (DELE preparation manual, grammar book, pronunciation guide, notes, mp3 audios)

I will be happy to read from you.

A greeting,
Joana :) 👩🏻‍🏫🇪🇸

For adults, I offer online "Free Talk" classes. These classes are very popular and are ok for any age. I currently have a group class of people aged 60s to 80s. If you want to talk about daily life, news, hobbies, traveling, etc. and enjoy speaking English, then this is a good class to do it. Usually a 1-hour class is best as it gives plenty of time. If a shorter, or longer, class is better for you I can do that too. Just ask :)
