    English Classes (Conversation, Speaking, Grammar) in Xian or Online

    Hello,
    (中文版如下)
    my name is Andrew, I have a PhD in History from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and I currently work in China as a university teacher.
    I come from Central Europe (Czech-German background) and I have been working as a university teacher and historian for the last 6 years. During my career, I had the chance to work with the University of Geneva, the American Butler University, and Palacky University.
    I currently live in Xian and therefore offer English lessons through face-to-face meetings in this city. I live in the Yanta District and prefer to teach in this area, but I am also willing to commute to meet students. Online lessons can also be arranged.
    During my lessons, I focus on a combination of grammar and speaking practice. I believe that combining these two aspects of the language is the key to mastering it quickly. The motivation for my students is the visible progress in speaking after the first few lessons. Since I am from Central Europe and have studied history, political science, anthropology and other humanities and social sciences I am also willing and able to focus lessons on specific areas of science, thus giving my students not only the opportunity to progress in English but also to develop their knowledge in other fields.
    I am able to prepare lessons myself according to my assessment of the student's needs, but I am also flexible and can prepare lessons according to the wishes of each student. Therefore, I am certain that we can work out some form of cooperation. Write me an email to [email protected] to discuss cooperation.

    我叫安德鲁,是瑞士日内瓦大学的历史学博士,目前在中国担任大学教师。
    我来自中欧(捷克-德国背景),过去 6 年一直担任大学教师和历史学家。在我的职业生涯中,我曾有机会在日内瓦大学、美国巴特勒大学和帕拉茨基大学工作。
    我目前住在西安,因此在这座城市通过面对面的方式提供英语课程。我住在雁塔区,喜欢在这一地区授课,但也愿意通勤去见学生。 也可以安排在线课程。
    在我的课程中,我注重语法和口语练习的结合。我相信,将语言的这两个方面结合起来是快速掌握语言的关键。对我的学生来说,头几节课后口语的明显进步就是他们学习的动力。由于我来自中欧,学习过历史、政治学、人类学和其他人文社会科学,因此我也愿意并能够将课程重点放在特定的科学领域,从而使我的学生不仅有机会在英语方面取得进步,而且还能发展他们在其他领域的知识。
    我可以根据自己对学生需求的评估来备课,但我也很灵活,可以根据每个学生的意愿来备课。因此,我确信我们可以达成某种形式的合作。

    Kevin
    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
