    Silvan
    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!

    Economics, English, and Business Tutoring. Assist with mastering concepts: Understanding Tools and Mechanisms
    Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of helping students tackle subjects that can feel intimidating at first but are incredibly rewarding once you start to understand them. Whether it's Economics, English, or Business, I’ve seen firsthand how small breakthroughs can lead to big moments of confidence. In Economics, I love taking complex concepts like supply and demand, market structures, and economic policies and breaking them down into something that makes sense. I've had many students who started feeling lost, but once we worked through a few examples together, they realized that economics isn’t as difficult as it seems—it’s all about understanding the patterns and relationships. When it comes to English, I’ve helped countless students refine their writing and communication. Whether it’s crafting a compelling essay, improving grammar, or just feeling more comfortable reading difficult texts, I've been there with my students through every step. The best part? Seeing the growth from struggling with basic concepts to confidently expressing themselves in writing and conversation. And in Business, I’ve worked with students ranging from those who dream of running their own companies to those looking to ace their business courses. Together, we dive into the foundations of marketing, management, and finance, and I love seeing those "aha" moments when the dots connect. It’s such an exciting field because it’s all about real-world applications, and I make sure to tie lessons back to the skills students need for future success. What I’ve learned from tutoring in these subjects is that each student has a unique learning style, and my goal is always to tailor the experience to what works best for them. Whether you need extra help preparing for an exam, want to polish your writing, or are looking to understand how business really works in the world, I’m here to guide you every step of the way.
