Progress quickly in English.

From 77.65 € /h

English-speaking Canadian teacher with more than 10 years of experience gives private lessons to children, young adults or professionals.

I use the total immersion method when it comes to quickly improving oral skills. My method is flexible and based on achieving your goals.

When it comes, however, to deepening the general knowledge of English, we will work on the four skills (write, read, speak, listen) using authentic documents. That is to say; film clips, articles on various subjects, music, staging, and of course grammar.

Specific objectives that I will help you reach quickly:

* Improve pronunciation (focusing on the small details that will allow you to approach the accent of a native speaker)

* Enrich your vocabulary (effectively using a unilingual dictionary and a "collocations dictionary")

* Improve your understanding of spoken and written English.

* Practice spoken English in authentic situations (phone calls or Skype to hotels, restaurants, etc.).
