    English Fluency Bootcamp: Speak, Listen, and Understand (英語流暢ブートキャンプ:話す、聞く、理解する)
    Welcome to our English classes! I’m Silvan, an experienced language teacher with a diverse academic and professional background. Our classes aim to enhance your speaking and listening skills, boost your confidence, and support your writing and reading abilities. Each class is uniquely tailored to your needs, interests, and level, providing a full immersion in an English-speaking environment. This approach naturally encourages you to think and communicate directly in English, accelerating your journey to fluency and boosting your confidence. As a native Indonesian speaker who also speaks some Japanese, I can assist students who are native Japanese or Indonesian speakers. However, this will only be when it is absolutely necessary and there is no other way for them to explain or understand in English. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced learner, we aim to make the learning process engaging and effective. Join us on this exciting language learning journey! 英語のクラスへようこそ!私の名前はシルバンで、豊富な経験を持つ言語教師です。私たちのクラスでは、あなたの話す力と聞く力を向上させ、自信をつけることを目指し、あなたの書く力と読む力をサポートします。 各クラスは、あなたのニーズ、興味、レベルに合わせてユニークにカスタマイズされ、完全に英語を話す環境にあなたを浸します。このアプローチは、自然に英語で考えてコミュニケーションを取ることを奨励し、流暢さへの旅を加速し、自信を高めます。 私はインドネシア語のネイティブスピーカーであり、また日本語も少し話すことができますので、日本人やインドネシア人の生徒さんをサポートすることができます。ただし、これは絶対に必要な場合や、他の方法で英語で説明したり理解したりすることができない場合に限ります。 初心者でも上級者でも、私たちは学習プロセスを楽しく効果的にすることを目指しています。このエキサイティングな言語学習の旅にぜひ参加してください!

    French, English and Spanish courses: a mix of academic knowledge and academic advice
    The course will last 1 hour. My teaching is divided into two stages: a theoretical, purely academic part, designed to increase the student's knowledge and understanding. Then comes a phase of practical advice regarding schooling, as well as practical exercises to test the lessons covered in the previous session. As a second-year political science and international relations student, and having received the distinction of "Congratulations" in my first year, I can offer valuable advice on how to approach higher education with confidence.
