    Silvan
    English Fluency Bootcamp: Speak, Listen, and Understand (英語流暢ブートキャンプ:話す、聞く、理解する)
    Welcome to our English classes! I’m Silvan, an experienced language teacher with a diverse academic and professional background. Our classes aim to enhance your speaking and listening skills, boost your confidence, and support your writing and reading abilities. Each class is uniquely tailored to your needs, interests, and level, providing a full immersion in an English-speaking environment. This approach naturally encourages you to think and communicate directly in English, accelerating your journey to fluency and boosting your confidence. As a native Indonesian speaker who also speaks some Japanese, I can assist students who are native Japanese or Indonesian speakers. However, this will only be when it is absolutely necessary and there is no other way for them to explain or understand in English. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced learner, we aim to make the learning process engaging and effective. Join us on this exciting language learning journey! 英語のクラスへようこそ!私の名前はシルバンで、豊富な経験を持つ言語教師です。私たちのクラスでは、あなたの話す力と聞く力を向上させ、自信をつけることを目指し、あなたの書く力と読む力をサポートします。 各クラスは、あなたのニーズ、興味、レベルに合わせてユニークにカスタマイズされ、完全に英語を話す環境にあなたを浸します。このアプローチは、自然に英語で考えてコミュニケーションを取ることを奨励し、流暢さへの旅を加速し、自信を高めます。 私はインドネシア語のネイティブスピーカーであり、また日本語も少し話すことができますので、日本人やインドネシア人の生徒さんをサポートすることができます。ただし、これは絶対に必要な場合や、他の方法で英語で説明したり理解したりすることができない場合に限ります。 初心者でも上級者でも、私たちは学習プロセスを楽しく効果的にすることを目指しています。このエキサイティングな言語学習の旅にぜひ参加してください!

    SAT & ACT Test Preparation, General English tutoring
    I am a Linguistics student waiting to enter university and I have experience as a test taker as well as test prep tutor. In 2016, I scored a full composite score of 36 for my ACT, and obtained a score of 1580 for the new SAT in 2016 as well. I have experience in test prep tutoring in Singapore for both SAT and ACT, and two of my students have gone on to score full scores for the ACT this year. I also can provide test prep for SAT Subject Tests (SAT II), in the areas of Mathematics and Literature. I scored 800 for Math II and 770 in Literature in the November sitting of the SAT Subject Test. Otherwise, I am a native English speaker from Singapore, and have obtained 'A's in English Language for the GCE Ordinary Level Examinations, and an 'A' in General Paper (a writing and comprehension intensive subject) in the GCE Advanced Level Examinations. I am competent in providing general English language tuition to teenagers and young adults. Other than native English, I have Japanese N4 level proficiency, and have studied Mandarin since elementary school in Singapore.

    Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)
    Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture. My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together. I believe language is more than just words, and I look forward to sharing my perspective with you. Can't wait to meet you and start this language journey together!
