English Communication/Conversation With an Experienced Native-Speaking Teacher

From 28 € /h

I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week.

I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading.

My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.

Extra information

I primarily use and recommend the Zoom platform for online teaching for its reliability, video/sound quality, and support for varieties of teaching resources. Students can use Zoom from their browser or by downloading the app on your computer or phone/tablet (but use of the app on your computer is recommended for the best quality).

About Me

I'm from Canada and have taught English in Vietnam and Prague since 2016 and also have many years of Canadian university teaching experience in cultural and humanities subject areas and in architecture/design. I’m also a writer-artist-designer since 1992, with a number of published artist books. I received a professional architecture degree in 1989 and the Trinity College English teaching certification in 2019. I’m a native-English speaker with an easy-to-understand, neutral Canadian accent.

Education

Bachelor of Environmental Design, Univ. of Waterloo, Canada, 1985
Bachelor of Architecture (Professional Degree, Equivalent to Masters), Univ. of Waterloo, Canada, 1989
Trinity College Cert TESOL, Level 5 Certification, Pak Chong, Thailand, 2019

Experience / Qualifications

I’ve worked mainly with adults (including high-school and university students as well as working adults); from B1 to C2 level; in groups and 1-on-1; at language centers, universities, companies, and privately; and mostly on communication/conversational English (focusing on speaking and listening skills), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading. For the last 2 years, a lot of my teaching has been online, mostly using Zoom; it started as a necessity during the Covid lockdowns but now many students prefer it even if we’re in the same city, though I still enjoy teaching F2F as well.

Hello, I offer private lessons at home to prepare for the Brevet des Collèges and Baccalaureate exams.
I will do my best to help you progress as much as possible and I will adapt to your level. For the Brevet exam, I primarily offer my services for mathematics, but I can also help you with French or science.

For the baccalaureate, it's more for the mathematics specialization, the English European exam or the continuous assessment in Spanish.
As for my experience, I obtained the highest honors in the brevet and the highest honors in European English in the baccalaureate specializing in maths and SVT.
In mathematics, I got 100/100 in the DNB, followed the specialty until the final year, had 15/20 in the baccalaureate and around 18 on average every year since middle school.
In Spanish, I passed the SIELE certification giving me an overall level of B2, and I got 19.6 in the continuous assessment of the baccalaureate.
In English, I followed the European English section from the second to the final year and I got 17.3 in the continuous assessment of the baccalaureate.
I am currently studying at the Sorbonne in the first year of a Bachelor's degree in English and Spanish Language, Literature, and Civilization.
