Improve your English with an English (British) person:
I am an experienced English teacher, from the UK, available to teach all ages in Tartu (or elsewhere via webcam). I am TEFL qualified with years of experience teaching preschool children to adults in English speaking and writing. I have helped to prepare students for their Cambridge Speaking Exams, given reports, and enormously enjoy the energy of a fun class. Feel free to contact me - I am happy to simply help with conversation practice, essays, or give in depth instruction. I am friendly and personable and look forward to meeting you!
Extra information
I am happy to meet at a nearby location, such as cafe, library, etc. for lessons.

About Me
I am a student in Tartu who in the past has greatly enjoyed teaching English as a foreign language (ESL). I am a qualified, experienced TEFL teacher, who enjoys cultural and language exchange with all people, all ages and abilities.

I am a friendly native speaker from the UK who is happy to engage with curious, energetic students, who maybe just need a little help, or who feel they would benefit from structured lessons tailored to their needs and abilities.

Franklin
My name is Franklin, I am from Washington D.C., I love to ski, I love languages, and hope to be able to help you learn the deeply strange and wonderful thing that is the English language!

One of the key's to writing English properly is being as concise as possible. Below, I have written a few bullet points on my background, teaching style, and what kind of services I can provide.

Background: I am from Washington D.C. but have lived all over the United States. I graduated with a double-major in Russian Language and International Politics and Diplomacy from Texas A&M University. After graduating, I spent three years working at a think tank in Washington D.C. This work required me to constantly write, research, and give public presentations. After I was promoted, it became my job to teach others how to do these things effectively. I am currently completing my MA at the University of Tartu.

Teaching Style: I believe that direct, friendly, and useful conversation is key. We can all sit around and read text books or watch youtube videos to try to learn a language. Those things are good, but the best way (and from my point of view the only way) to learn a language is to learn it with a native English speaker. I am familiar with teaching people with many different learning styles, and eager to use a number of different methods (other than traditional text-books) to teach you how to communicate better in English.

Services Provided:

-Weekly reports identifying progress made, and areas which we will need to focus on further. These will help guide our progress over time, and allow you to keep track of what you will have accomplished!

- Classes for all skill levels, with a number of special classes for intermediate and advanced students who need to improve certain specific English-language skills including:
- Public Speaking
- Professional Writing
- Business English (Including focused classes on certain subject areas if needed)

I am happy to provide more detail if needed and hope to hear from you soon!
