    English Classes (Conversation, Speaking, Grammar) in Xian or Online

    Hello,
    (中文版如下)
    my name is Andrew, I have a PhD in History from the University of Geneva, Switzerland, and I currently work in China as a university teacher.
    I come from Central Europe (Czech-German background) and I have been working as a university teacher and historian for the last 6 years. During my career, I had the chance to work with the University of Geneva, the American Butler University, and Palacky University.
    I currently live in Xian and therefore offer English lessons through face-to-face meetings in this city. I live in the Yanta District and prefer to teach in this area, but I am also willing to commute to meet students. Online lessons can also be arranged.
    During my lessons, I focus on a combination of grammar and speaking practice. I believe that combining these two aspects of the language is the key to mastering it quickly. The motivation for my students is the visible progress in speaking after the first few lessons. Since I am from Central Europe and have studied history, political science, anthropology and other humanities and social sciences I am also willing and able to focus lessons on specific areas of science, thus giving my students not only the opportunity to progress in English but also to develop their knowledge in other fields.
    I am able to prepare lessons myself according to my assessment of the student's needs, but I am also flexible and can prepare lessons according to the wishes of each student. Therefore, I am certain that we can work out some form of cooperation. Write me an email to [email protected] to discuss cooperation.

    我叫安德鲁,是瑞士日内瓦大学的历史学博士,目前在中国担任大学教师。
    我来自中欧(捷克-德国背景),过去 6 年一直担任大学教师和历史学家。在我的职业生涯中,我曾有机会在日内瓦大学、美国巴特勒大学和帕拉茨基大学工作。
    我目前住在西安,因此在这座城市通过面对面的方式提供英语课程。我住在雁塔区,喜欢在这一地区授课,但也愿意通勤去见学生。 也可以安排在线课程。
    在我的课程中,我注重语法和口语练习的结合。我相信,将语言的这两个方面结合起来是快速掌握语言的关键。对我的学生来说,头几节课后口语的明显进步就是他们学习的动力。由于我来自中欧,学习过历史、政治学、人类学和其他人文社会科学,因此我也愿意并能够将课程重点放在特定的科学领域,从而使我的学生不仅有机会在英语方面取得进步,而且还能发展他们在其他领域的知识。
    我可以根据自己对学生需求的评估来备课,但我也很灵活,可以根据每个学生的意愿来备课。因此,我确信我们可以达成某种形式的合作。

    Non-formal Latin classes. Multilingual teacher with 10 years of experience. Pronunciation, historical linguistics, semantics.
    Contrary to popular belief, learning Latin is not like learning the phone book by heart. I offer you Latin lessons that are unlike any other. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you take the train back and forth every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Learn the schedules by heart. 2) Note that the train arrives every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in study notebooks and in ordinary courses, it is the first approach which is adopted - in the courses that I offer you, it is the second because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both students and adults who want to learn the Latin language or deepen their knowledge without time-consuming detours through the insanities of school methods which do not produce results. Learning is easy but unlearning what has become a bad habit is extremely difficult. All the more important it is to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning in a positive state of mind. I offer individual or group Latin lessons (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive sciences and in particular historical linguistics. What will not be the subject of the course: learn lists of verbs; learn lists of nouns with their gender; learn words with their translations; memory card game; doing school exercises; follow the program in a notebook; impose French grammar on the Latin language. What matters to me in particular: motivate my student and give him a learning rhythm; encourage creativity; make friends with language; letters and their sounds strengthen your memory by working on the phonological loop; teach construction plans instead of having people learn sentences by heart; explain how the language works to make my student independent as quickly as possible; breaking preconceived ideas such as the gammatical gender would have a link with the biological gender, the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, the verbs would be irregular, the declension would be random and therefore to be learned with each verb... ; place practice at the center and articulate grammar around practice. In the context of a first course, you can get a well-founded idea of my pedagogy. I look forward to meeting you.

    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.
