TOEFL iBT or Essentials and Duolingo (DET) Preparation

From 42.42 C$ /h

We'll first review your target score, any practice or previous exams you've taken and when your application deadlines are to make a study plan. We'll review the sections of the exam that you want to work on together, as some students preparing for the TOEFL iBT only want tutoring on a specific section.

We isolate each task to discuss the best strategy for each, then practice it. When you're comfortable, then we'll move on to the next task. I can provide homework if you'd like and I can also provide additional materials if there's something that needs fixing, like a particular grammar topic.

Extra information

Have something to take notes if you're preparing for the TOEFL. We will also use Google Docs.

English for all levels from an experienced native English teacher

43.88 C$ /h

Our classes will be based on your goals and current level. I teach from the pre-intermediate level to advanced and prefer working with teens and adults. It's ok if you have short term goals, like interview preparation, resume writing or preparing for a trip. It's also ok if your goals are long term where we can make a structured plan to improve every area: speaking, writing, listening and reading.

How do you learn best? We can use a book, songs, TED Talks and a variety of other material.

American Football for Beginners and Intermediates: It's not just people running into each other

40.96 C$ /h

This class is designed for people who want to understand American Football. It's a common thought that "it's just people running into each other", but it's like chess (just more physical) and you will understand why. We will assess your beginning knowledge and where you want your final understanding to be. By the end of our classes, you will be able to understand the basic rules, the flow of a game, terminology and how it ends.

I also have a board game that we can play (I'll send you the files) that uses actual strategy. Once you get some basics, we can use this tool to put things into practice.

Helpful for students and professionals who want better English for exams and the workplace.

Apart from IELTS preparation and practical English for work, each class is personalized to fit the unique needs and goals of every student. What I teach includes General English, covering all four skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing. Students also improve vocabulary and grammar based on their interests, and learn with videos, podcasts, and other multimedia materials. Classes include exam preparation as well. For English Communication, I focus on public speaking and presentations, improving vocabulary and fluency in topics students enjoy, accent reduction, and clearer pronunciation. Students practice listening, pronunciation, and the North American accent, with attention to common mistakes like homophones, intonation, and stress in speaking.
