Online or In-Person Lessons: Hi, I'm Kar Wah, born in the UK and a CertTESOL-qualified teacher of English. I provide lessons to help improve your English to meet your specific needs and goals, whether for school, work, an interview, travelling, or socialising. My main goal is to let you learn English in a fun, meaningful way.

I have worked with students of various ages, children and adults alike, and of all skill levels, following the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR). I have previously taught and tutored in and outside of schools in both the UK and HK for students pursuing academic, work or personal goals for 3 years.

I teach using the Communicative Approach, ensuring that the language you will learn will be useful in real-world situations in contexts that feel natural and easier to understand. By using topics that you are interested in, I will incorporate them into the lessons to be more useful to you. I use this method to ensure that the learner will be able to use English in a meaningful way. In the lessons, we can develop your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills to allow you to become a well-rounded English speaker.

Whether you're just a beginner looking to start learning English (A1) to an upper intermediate English speaker looking to polish up their skills (B2), I will ensure that the lessons are tailored and suited to your wants and needs.
Extra information
I suggest bringing your own notepad or laptop to write notes on for the lessons.

Santiago
Hello,

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 focused on developing fluent and structured communication of the English language either to prepare international exams, including the TOEFL and the FCE, or to be able to communicate properly in the professional field or to reinforce and maintain prior knowledge of this language.

I am a graduate, graduated from Florida Gulf Coast University in the USA. Having learned English as a child at the Ivy Thomas Memorial School in Uruguay, and lived 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, which helped me, prepare for my studies in the US. I had several communication classes, learning techniques of how to speak better using not only our words but also our body to help us speak more naturally, calmly, 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 graduation I worked for a year, mainly having long phone conversations with people from all over the country.

Nowadays the ability to communicate in English is essential and I am going to prepare you so that you can meet your goals. It could be, studying abroad, going to live in an English-speaking country, improving your communication in the professional field, or keep practicing so as not to lose the previously acquired level.
If what you are looking for is to improve your knowledge of the English language, I will 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,

SERVICES
I can offer my assistance with Statistics, Mathematics, Econometrics and Data Analysis/Science and other Business-related subjects (with coding and programming if you are interested in it).
I understand that there are different kinds of learning methods, so as long as you can find your style and the appropriate method, I believe that you can get twice the result with half the effort. I have been told to be good at breaking down complex scientific concepts, explaining them in diagrams, and also relating them to their uses in our daily lives. I can help you to understand statistics, mathematics and econometrics (linear regression, forecast modelling, statistical modelling, advanced statistical modelling, AP statistics, quantitative methods, analysis, linear equations, inequalities, quadratic functions, sequences, vectors, geometry, trigonometry, logarithms, differentiation, integration, linear algebra, matrix transformations and so on) as well as introducing you to the fast-growing field of Data Analysis and Data Science.
