Online English Classes for those wanting to learn conversational English like a native.
From 60.41 $ /h
Want to learn to speak English like a native? Then you need to take lessons with a native!
For those who want to focus on learning the language without getting too weighed down by the technicalities of verbs, nouns and adjectives, this is your chance.
I believe that people learn better when they can help drive the direction of their learning. So to begin with, we will create an action plan based on what you most want to learn, such as how to have a conversation at work versus how to order a drink in a bar. Only after you are comfortable with a certain level of speech will we consider reading and writing.
I also make efforts to work with your learning style, for example, whether you are a visual learner versus an auditory learner. I don’t believe that there is a one-size-fits-all approach to learning and try to reflect this in my own teaching.

Extra information
To help prepare for your classes,
1. Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable internet connection to minimise disruptions during the session. I also advise finding a quiet and comfortable space where you feel at ease, speak out loud and can focus on the session without interruptions. Consider using headphones.
2. Preferred Device: It is essential to have a computer, tablet, or smartphone that meets the minimum system requirements for the video conferencing platform. This will ensure a smooth and uninterrupted session.

About Me
Hi, my name is Elaine. I am an English lass living in beautiful Switzerland.
My experience learning languages shows that set course structures make it take too long to learn what is truly useful day to day. So I want to offer my English skills to help those who know what they want to learn as soon as possible. Whether it's ordering Fish and Chips or presenting a sales pitch.
I have over a decade of experience working in the tech industry, and two degrees that have absolutely nothing to do with teaching (but that I loved doing). I have several coaching qualifications and experience in training and facilitation. I really enjoy seeing others develop and reach their goals, and I teach with patience and understanding.
I also love books, gardening, Cadbury's (yes, I am that British), and time with friends.
