Improve your English with qualified, American English teacher

Would you like to improve your English? Are you a beginner? Elementary? Advanced C2 even? I have over 15 years experience teaching in universities, training centers, schools, and in private classes both off and online. I have a bachelors of linguistics from the Sorbonne, and the TEFL certificate. If you need help preparing the TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, GRE, GMAT, FCE, or any test in English, I have years of experience helping students prepare these and other tests too.

All my materials are part of the learning experience and are offered free of charge. I use books (a lot!), videos from the internet, news articles, etc. I can help you immensely, regardless of what part of the language you're improving. If it's vocabulary, writing, speaking, reading, pronunciation, accent, listening, etc.; or if you need help with some particular field, such as Business English, or some register of English in particular, it makes no difference to me. Again, I have extensive experience in ESL and am comfortable with both group and private lessons.

I currently offer classes online via Zoom or Skype and give and correct homework.

About Me

Hi, my name is Justin, I come from Seattle, Washington, in the US. I've been a teacher for over 15 years. Learning with me is simple and fun because I'm patient and enjoy meeting new people and helping them get better at English. I also use a lot of different sources! (A lot!) I have countless books that will definitely help you, as well as internet references for video clips, news articles, and more.

I've got extensive experience in ESL, and am now expanding my profile online. You can check out my site at theenglish.school, if you like.

To give you an example of some of the profiles I am currently working with:

One of my students is named Lola, who is a 16 year old student who needs help improving her ability to write and analyze literature and poetry. Another student is named Gaetan, who is an architect and who is learning English because he's preparing to adopt a child from Canada. Another one of my students is named Alexis, who is a senior in high school and is preparing for an entry test in a university in France, part of which is in English. I currently work with several students and as you can see get to know them and remember who they are. My classes are all personal and I care if you're getting something out of it versus just showing up. I have worked with top journalists, police officers preparing missions abroad, diplomats, doctors immigrating to Dubai and the US, dentists, lawyers, etc. There isn't anyone in particular I won't work with.

Education

Bachelors of Linguistics from the Sorbonne. TEFL certificate.

In my "licence" I learned all the basics of linguistics: Semantics, syntax, phonology, phonetics, grammar, lexicography, etc. I've also studied briefly a variety of other languages, such as Ancient Greek, Latin, Vietnamese, and some east European languages too. The degree was a lot of fun and much harder than I had thought it would be.

Getting my TEFL was really easy as I had already mastered the grammar of my language long before, and had been training as a teacher too. It nonetheless taught me the importance of preparing classes, working in different environments, and understanding important techniques in teaching, such as making the most of talking time, eliciting, and optimizing the environment so that students get the most out of the experience both in and outside of the classroom.

Experience / Qualifications

15 years working as English teacher and Adjunct Professor in graduate schools, universities, training centers, businesses, as well as one on one over the internet or in person.

Maryam
Private lessons in Arabic and English to build my little champions from the beginning
My name is Mariam from the United Arab Emirates. I specialize in establishing children from 4 years old to third grade in Arabic and English subjects with more than seven years of experience in teaching. I love children and I have patience in understanding the needs of my young students. I establish them and teach them new words. My priorities are to explain in detail and in stages until the child acquires the information. I send the exercises to the guardian before the specified class time to print them for the child. If he has a printer, I contact the guardian at the end of the class to tell him about the level of their child with me. May God bless you, my little heroes 🤍

Claudia Veronica
Conversation in English through Positive Psychology
What are the sessions about? The sessions are to work on conversation in English through topics and content of psychology, well-being and self-help. The presentation is designed so that the person shares their comments on several occasions and elaborates responses using common vocabulary, improving conversation, fluency, vocabulary, and pronunciation. The content is on positive psychology topics, where tools for life are acquired through information and reflection exercises. Breathing techniques, mindfulness, gratitude, habits, resilience, flow state, resistance to change, and more are mentioned and used. Why use positive psychology content? According to several studies, including a study conducted by Cambridge in 2022, the best method to learn a language is through immersion (exposure and engagement). This means that when we learn topics or activities that interest us, the brain activates the prefrontal cortex, the striatum, the limbic system, and the hippocampus, which are the areas of long-term memory, motivation, concentration, reward, and emotional experience. These functions together create greater receptivity to new information. It is about talking about topics that motivate and interest us to enhance learning. They are also life tools that benefit us all. The more a person opens up to talking and reflecting on their personal experiences, whether positive or negative, the more they will be able to handle life's difficulties and improve their well-being. What level should I be at? Once you understand the written and/or spoken language, and can say the basics, we can start working. It doesn't matter if your level is basic, since that's exactly what the sessions are for. When you try to create a statement with interesting content, the areas of the brain that promote learning are activated. Here, through the chat, pronunciation and grammar are corrected, new vocabulary is added, and the correct way to say what is desired is taught. The person is asked to repeat the statement "correctly" and that's how learning takes place. How long will it take to see changes? The time varies for each person, as it depends on their initial level, and if the method is compatible with their way of learning. It is recommended to evaluate if this method is suitable for you, after the first session. However, due to previous experience with people at a basic - intermediate level, changes in fluency are seen from the first two or three sessions. From the first or second session you will notice more comfort when speaking and listening to the language. What mental health benefits can I get from sessions other than language? The sessions are taught by a clinical psychologist trained in positive psychology and other therapy methods. Some of them can be used in the sessions. The topics covered encourage conversations about personal life, and only if it is of interest to the person, can they delve into it and use this space to work on certain topics through psychological guidance. Additionally, information supported by scientific evidence will be provided, on tools for greater emotional well-being based on positive psychology, and reflection on mental and personal habits will be encouraged. Important: This is NOT, nor does it seek to replace, psychological therapy. Issues that require further exploration and/or external help will be referred to a therapy or a professional as appropriate. By what means can I take the session and how many frequencies do I need? Most sessions are via Zoom. The teacher will send you the link via WhatsApp or email and at the time of your session you can access it via a device. It is recommended once a week if the session is individual. You will notice that they are very complete and you may be a little tired after the session, if you are not very familiar with the language. If the session is in a group of two or more people, it can be once or twice a week. We will talk about many interpersonal topics in the session and we may follow up during the week by sharing relevant content via WhatsApp and voice notes, also in English for both parties to continue practicing fluency and vocabulary. It can be in person in Monterrey, Nuevo León in groups of 3 or more, or within the Republic for workshops.
