Jay helped me a lot in acquiring a correct pronounciation through different methods. He has a clear and efficient strategy to meet the student's need. Thank you Jay!
Nice teacher with a clear approch of teaching. The way I was looking for.
Public speaking classes with Jay were top-notch! Even though we held the classes online, he has the rare ability to make you feel at ease in a second and I felt fully engaged. Jay covered a variety of subjects regarding tone, speed, volume, pronunciation, etc. with different exercises. I've noticed continuous progress throughout the classes and I have now a better control of my public speaking skills, which will be of great use both in personal and professional contexts. I highly recommend!
A highly recommended teacher. He immediately understood my needs and wishes, and in such a short time I've already learned so much.

Explore Public Speaking through... Intonation and Melody When training for a presentation, decide which words and passages deserve extra attention and increase the tone to emphasize these points. If something sounds exaggerated or false, your audience can turn against you. Volume A speech is not ordinary conversation, and a presenter can’t convey passion and enthusiasm if the words are delivered softly. Clarity Don’t forget to articulate every word, to ensure clarity on your part and understanding on the part of the audience. Emphasis Even in the same sentence, emphasizing different words can change the focus of a message. Changing emphasis can alter meaning and/or implication. Pauses when pauses are placed in strategic spots in a speech, they can make the difference between a good and an excellent presentation. There are several purposes for which pauses can be used: to give listeners a chance to absorb something that’s just been said; to generate expectations about something that’s going to be said... Pacing & Tone If you often get negative feedback about the faster or slower delivery of your speeches, practice delivering a speech sometimes faster and sometimes slower, so you can arrive at a natural pace.
In this workshop, we will aggregate necessary content from you, formulate and organize your ideas and thoughts with precision, structure and format two drafts of your resume/C.V. and finalize a document that best represents you professionally. Note: Variations of the document (for other contextual usage) can also be created with advance notice, discussion and negotiation. Tools for examination: -curriculum vitaes (resumes) -cover letters (presentation letters), -introduction & motivations letters -university & college application letters (for admission) -formal letter writing, -creative writing, -in-kind donation letters, -and related documents! (*This includes punctuation, salutation and apostrophe usage in writing.) Note (specifically for WEBSITES): Translations are also possible; however, thorough discussion about price adjustments depends on word count, whether adaptation/translation/proofreading is needed. Project deadline of completion must also be calculated and agreed upon prior to making your final reservation for such a service.

teaching the four skills of English language for all levels
Teaching English effectively to learners of all levels requires a versatile approach that caters to diverse needs and abilities. Here are some of the best methods I employ: 1. **Differentiated Instruction**: Tailor your lessons to accommodate various learning styles and proficiency levels within your class. Use a mix of visual aids, hands-on activities, and interactive discussions to engage all learners. 2. **Communicative Approach**: Emphasize real-life communication skills. Encourage students to speak and listen actively in authentic situations. Role-playing, debates, and group discussions can be invaluable tools. 3. **Grammar in Context**: Instead of drilling grammar rules in isolation, teach grammar within the context of meaningful sentences and texts. This helps students understand how grammar functions in real communication. 4. **Vocabulary Expansion**: Foster vocabulary growth through a variety of methods, including flashcards, word games, and extensive reading. Encourage students to keep vocabulary journals to track their progress. 5. **Cultural Integration**: Integrate cultural elements into lessons to make learning more engaging. Explore English-speaking countries' customs, traditions, and popular media to provide cultural context. 6. **Technology Integration**: Leverage technology like language-learning apps, online resources, and interactive platforms to supplement traditional teaching methods. This can enhance students' engagement and exposure to the language. 7. **Individualized Learning**: Recognize that each student learns at their own pace. Offer opportunities for self-paced learning, personalized assignments, and one-on-one support when necessary. 8. **Regular Assessments**: Use formative and summative assessments to gauge students' progress. Provide constructive feedback to help them understand their strengths and areas for improvement. 9. **Multimodal Materials**: Incorporate a variety of teaching materials, such as videos, podcasts, songs, and news articles, to expose students to different accents, dialects, and language styles. 10. **Cultural Exchange**: Arrange language exchange programs or connect with English speakers from different backgrounds. Encourage students to practice with native speakers to improve their speaking and listening skills. 11. **Encourage Reading**: Encourage extensive reading by creating a class library with books and materials appropriate for each learner's level. Discussing these texts can improve comprehension and critical thinking. 12. **Motivation and Goal Setting**: Help students set achievable language-learning goals and celebrate their progress along the way. This can boost motivation and commitment to the learning process. 13. **Inclusive and Supportive Environment**: Create a safe and inclusive classroom where all students feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. Positive reinforcement and encouragement are key. 14. **Consistency and Routine**: Establish a consistent class schedule and routine. Predictable structures can help learners feel more comfortable and focused during lessons. 15. **Teacher Flexibility**: Be open to adapting your teaching methods based on your students' evolving needs and feedback. Continuous improvement is essential for effective teaching. By integrating these diverse teaching methods and tailoring them to the specific needs of your English learners, you can create a dynamic and inclusive classroom environment that fosters language acquisition and proficiency for students at all levels.
