Learn Conversational English Through Real Life Experiences.

Translated by Google. Click to view original.
I specialize in helping people improve their conversation skills in English. The way I do it is I set up a topic depending on the interests of every student and depending on the topi, I introduce the language that we will be using for the situation then we will put it into action by either doing a role-play , conversation activities like brainstorming and asking open-ended questions to get a conversation going.

This class is very flexible so we can work on specific topics that the student is interested in like, business, travel, school, exams, or just basic conversation.

While the student talks, I write down any mistakes and provide feedback at the end of the conversation to give a brief explanation on the parts that the student struggled most with.

The mission in this class is to make it fun, interesting, safe and interactive. Every person has different learning abilities and I believe emotions play a large role in language learning so adapting, safety and practice are the main goals of this class..

About Me

''I believe a language is not learned but acquired therefore I think English should be a fun experience where students forget they are even learning. ''

Hi there,

My name is Armando, I am 27 years old. I am from Mexico but was raised in the United States. I am a certified English teacher and have been teaching for over 7 years. I love teaching English because growing up I could see how much people struggled at work, school and everyday like just because they couldn't speak English. Luckily I was able to learn the language at a young age and understand how it works as well as develop an American accent. When I graduated Highschool I decided to help out some of my friends and family to learn English and I started learning another language myself and found great joy doing it so I decided to take it as a career. What I love most about teaching is being able to communicate with people and help them understand the world around them since a lot of what we see today is in English. I am also a surf instructor so I love teaching people new things.

Experience / Qualifications

My first job as a tutor was after receiving my T.K.T (Teachers Knowledge Test) certificate from the University of Cambridge.

I worked for a company called Linguatec where I taught English face to face to a variety of people in both group and individual settings. I spent four years with this company and during my time there I learned how to manage groups of up to 10 people and how to create my own lesson plans that would integrate my students' personal interests such as movies, films or books into the lesson plan so that I could make learning as fun and interesting for them as possible.

I then worked for a company called Berlitz where I taught with their methodology which consisted in Presentation Practice Production. I enjoyed teaching this method and gained a lot from working with this company.

Following this, I worked for an online English teaching company called Open English. This was another great experience for me as I was developing my teaching skills in a completely different way. I was having then to communicate without the tools I'd usually used. This proved to be challenging but I ended up thoroughly enjoying this method of teaching. I used video conference and managed with up to 10 people with guided material, I taught both kids and adults from levels A1 to Business.

I had students from all over the world and the company focused our teaching on everyday articles that were relevant to students' choices. Classes consisted of up to 10 students per class.

✅DEEPEN YOUR INTIMATE SELF-KNOWLEDGE, YOUR SEXUAL DESIRES & OVERCOME YOUR BLOCKAGES
► Learn to know your intimate and sexual desires, deepen them, assume them and perceive their meaning, while being aware of your own limits and those of your partner, understand your blockages in order to overcome them, take advantage of the approach socio-cognitive of sexual desire, better integrate the functioning of one's partner, integrate tools / techniques / methods / know-how / key phrases to take pleasure while leaving it to spontaneity & naturalness, improve the link between affectivity and sexual intimacy but also communication with your partner, play (...): these are examples of the objectives of these personalized sessions, in order to ultimately improve your intimate and sexual satisfaction, accompanied by a mediator specialized. ➤ Together, step by step, it's about getting to know each other better (through your past experience, what you like or appreciate the least about yourself / about the other), by analyzing situations in a thorough and pragmatic way. Indeed, this step is essential in order not to orient towards / "tackle" a pre-established model, but to adapt to each situation. ➤ In parallel, from the first session, once the key points are better understood / assimilated, and the objectives gradually defined, tackle, based on your daily life / your experience, the art of sexuality and its subtleties, while valuing the complexity of sexuality and not its complications. ► My mission: to help you understand, analyze, discover and discover yourself to better enjoy yourself, while gaining self-confidence & acting in order to no longer be limited by your beliefs. ➤ If the discretion and confidentiality of the coach are essential, it is therefore a question of offering a tailor-made program / training, following an initial 'diagnosis'. ► These sessions can, for example, deal with how to regain confidence and make you reconnect with a complex but not complicated, subtle but not tangled sexuality, in short fulfilled while understanding the key elements of your own psychology and that of your partner (... ). But also how to strengthen your sexual charisma to unlock your potential and take pleasure. ➤ Objective here again: to introduce concrete techniques / methods which make it possible to communicate easily, in a fluid, efficient and always natural way, while mastering situations. ➤ Non-verbal language, sexualization and avoidance of the friend zone (...): the objective being to demystify these themes in theory and in practice. ➤ Coaching is based on precise questioning techniques, helping the person being supported to find a solution to a problem. At the end of each session, the coachee will master new ways of thinking, actions to accomplish and will have better motivation. Depending on the clients' expectations, the coach can suggest other approaches. ➤ So what do the first individual coaching sessions look like? First, a first exploratory contact during which your expectations are examined, the nature of the request and the context are evaluated, a 'diagnosis' is discussed, taking into account your difficulties, your needs, your objective. Then, it is a question of developing a precise procedure and proposing lines of work. A relationship of trust is gradually established through a benevolent alchemy, where listening, empathy and the absence of judgment are central. ➤ Thus, after having carried out together an initial assessment of the situation, a kind of inventory, it is a question of determining the objectives to be reached, the feelings and the questions related to the situation as well as proposing actions to achieve your goal, resolve constraining situations that stand in your way, using tools that will be offered to you according to your situation to get out of your comfort zone and change your perspective. ➤ The guide then asks questions aimed at exploring solutions aimed at achieving the objective, through experiments and exercises. Through various tools (drawing, role playing, metaphor, visualization, etc.), this questioning helps to change perspective, get out of an impasse in order to explore various options that you might not have thought of. this way, based on tools and experience. For example, it could be a new way of thinking about difficulties or another approach to identifying and considering resolving conflicts or a progression in terms of personal development or in terms of a career focusing always on the development of personal resources and self-knowledge. At the start of the next meeting, the coachee begins with a summary of the activations and the evolution of the state from the last meeting. This step makes it possible to have an evaluation of the positive points and those which are less so in order to readjust the set strategy. ➤ Concretely, ONE SESSION = SOLUTIONS / proposals / concrete suggestions to put into practice for the next session in order to overcome blockages or improve self-knowledge. Note that during the videoconference session, all the notes are transcribed in the chat so that you can access them at any time when you wish.
