English Language: From Casual to Professional, and Everything in Between
My name is Franklin, I am from Washington D.C., I love to ski, I love languages, and hope to be able to help you learn the deeply strange and wonderful thing that is the English language!
One of the key's to writing English properly is being as concise as possible. Below, I have written a few bullet points on my background, teaching style, and what kind of services I can provide.
Background: I am from Washington D.C. but have lived all over the United States. I graduated with a double-major in Russian Language and International Politics and Diplomacy from Texas A&M University. After graduating, I spent three years working at a think tank in Washington D.C. This work required me to constantly write, research, and give public presentations. After I was promoted, it became my job to teach others how to do these things effectively. I am currently completing my MA at the University of Tartu.
Teaching Style: I believe that direct, friendly, and useful conversation is key. We can all sit around and read text books or watch youtube videos to try to learn a language. Those things are good, but the best way (and from my point of view the only way) to learn a language is to learn it with a native English speaker. I am familiar with teaching people with many different learning styles, and eager to use a number of different methods (other than traditional text-books) to teach you how to communicate better in English.
Services Provided:
-Weekly reports identifying progress made, and areas which we will need to focus on further. These will help guide our progress over time, and allow you to keep track of what you will have accomplished!
- Classes for all skill levels, with a number of special classes for intermediate and advanced students who need to improve certain specific English-language skills including:
- Public Speaking
- Professional Writing
- Business English (Including focused classes on certain subject areas if needed)
I am happy to provide more detail if needed and hope to hear from you soon!

About Me
My name is Franklin, I am from Washington D.C., I love to ski, I love languages, and hope to be able to help you learn the deeply strange and wonderful thing that is the English language!English is hard to learn. Learning to use English properly is even harder! Thankfully, its nothing we can't manage!
I believe that direct, friendly, and useful conversation between a teacher and student is key. We can all sit around and read text books or watch youtube videos to try to learn a language. Those things are good, but the best way (and from my point of view the only way) to learn a language is to learn it with a native English speaker. Human interaction, which is proven to help one's mind retain information more effectively, combined with proper use of a variety of teaching methods and tools, is the recipe for success.
I love my language and I am happy to teach it to anyone! But, I am a goal orientated person and I love teaching people who can say "I want to learn English to _______." Do you want to learn English so that you can work in the tourism industry? Do you want to become a translator? Is it because you want to read a certain favorite book or movie in its original language? Do you want to be able to communicate on a vacation? A business trip? If you know 'why' you want to learn English, I will be able to help you even more!

Grace
Native English teacher from England (London) and enthusiast
I give my lessons in English. However, If I have a student that speaks French then I speak in French, but only to clarify an explanation that could be difficult to understand in English. I give lessons at my students' home or online. When I give lessons at my students home, I give copies of guides to work with and exercise sheets to put in practice what we learn during the lesson, and when I give lessons online, I prepare an interactive PowerPoint, also composed of guides and exercises, and at the end of each lesson, I send the PowerPoint to my students by email. I try to include in a one-hour lesson, reading, writing and speaking exercises, and as for the comprehension part, the students naturally acquire this skill through the lesson as I mostly speak in English.
For who has a specific goal to reach, I can improvise. Are you preparing for your next English exam or are you planning to travel to an English-speaking country and want to feel comfortable speaking with locals? I can help.

English For All Ages Taught by a Native English Speaker (Option: English Art Lesson)
As a native English speaker from the USA, I would love to teach you English!
My lessons will focus on all four components of a language--reading, writing, speaking, and hearing.
This is a sample of what we can do in a lesson:
Reading: We will read a passage (of your choice or one of mine) and analyse the text. I will ask you questions about the text to make sure you have understood the text.
Writing: I can correct any short texts that you write.
Speaking: We will speak English for the whole lesson. I will not use any other language other than German if you are a complete beginner.
Hearing: We can analyse audio samples, and I can ask questions to test your listening comprehension.
Please message me beforehand to discuss your goals. I will make a lesson plan to fit your needs. For example, if you are studying for a school exam, then please let me know.
ENGLISH ART CLASS
If you want to learn English as well as art, then we can do a combination class. Please send me an extra message about this.

Learn Business English for Better Communication and Confidence
Do you wish to be a better communicator with your international colleagues and peers?
Do you dread that presentation or conference that you have been asked to head?
Are you hoping for promotion or even a career change?
Or, do you simply wish to become more confident overall - in the office as well as professional social settings?
I can help you achieve this.
You will follow and be guided through professional lesson plans that follow a structure of vocabulary building, reading (out loud), comprehension and discussion. Occasionally they may come with an additional audio or video file to enhance your listening skills.
Conversation - both business and general, is a key focus focus, so making full answers is very much encouraged. We always share a two-way conversation or a few conversations, stating our views and opinions.
I correct both verbally and within the Skype chat panel so that you can see as well as hear the correction. I also want you to ask as many questions as necessary about the lesson as a whole or about the exercises posed. Communication is very important for without it I cannot properly help you.
