ENGLISH DEVELOPMENT with NATIVE SPEAKER (Pronunciation, ESL, Business, TOIEC/TOEFL/IELTS Prep)

I am a New Yorker living and teaching here. I am a relatable, experienced and professional English trainer. I offer training-packages throughout the Mediterranean and the European Union.

I provide Immersion Courses, American English adaptation/translation services, career-building tools and documents and have a niche for pronunciation correction and TOEIC Preparation.

I teach general ESL (English as a Second Language), business and industry-specific English and all-purpose English too!

This is also a communicative English class for developing speech. Here we will explore, vocabulary with nuances in meanings, synonyms, idioms, proverbs, some phrasal verb and prepositional verbs and all-around social English. The possibilities are endless for focusing on Public Speaking, Intonation and Voice Projection as well. This may be stimulated by interesting audios, short readers or videos.
If there are topics you have in mind, we can additionally explore and incorporate this into your lessons.

If you need to start speaking English, this class is for you.

The best one
It was a productive lesson with Jay. Within 90 mins, we worked on improving my motivation letter for a job application. He helped me with my written language. After the discussion, I can express myself in a precise way. Besides, according to my grammatical errors, he gave me several pieces of advice for self-study. Thank you very much.
Thanks Jay, it was a great helpful lesson. I get a lot of useful information. Soumaya

How are they formulated? Which time words correspond to which time tense? Is there a difference in using these tenses in speech versus in writing? Learn how ALL of the English time tenses work in 3-compact sessions! If you're a small, medium or large business with a complete staff, I can come to you and help correct and bring awareness to how you're using the language, to enhance your business for meetings, travel and rendezvous of all sorts.

Mary
British Primary School Teacher available for tutoring
With 15 years of teaching experience in outstanding U.K and international schools and a Masters in Primary Maths teaching, I can offer tutoring in all primary subjects for children ages 6-12. I am a patient, caring teacher who endeavours to make learning an enjoyable experience tailored to a child’s specific needs.

Klaudia
English for adults with low-bandwidth contact, very flexible.
Ahoy! Thank you for wanting to practice, learn, read or prepare for exams in English. My name is Klaudia and I am an English freak / linguist. I have been teaching children, teens and adults for 5 years. 2016-2017 I had stayed in London where I learned my neutral accent. In 2019, I got TEFL 120h and from one year I teach professionally. Lessons are always tailored to what you need. I believe in individual attention. What interests you, we'll talk about it in English. I prepare for every lesson and expect the same from you, that's why I always send you emails or messages so that your English stays active in your head even outside of class. While class we use a number of assistance resources: handouts, interactive media web sites, games, music, comics, books, news and all. The biggest benefit of my approach is flexibility. I make slots to use in your calendar. The more you take a class, the faster you will see the progress. I think one lesson a week is fine, but one lesson every 2 weeks is an absolute minimum. Learn quickly when you want and enjoy using English. I prefer to teach online because of corona, but I will come to you up to 20 km from Amsterdam.
