Conversation Japanese (Intermediate Level)

「英語を学びたいけど、外国人といきなり英会話は抵抗がある！」
「英語を外国語として学んだ日本人から英語の勉強法や成功談、失敗談などを交えながら英会話を学びたい！」
「英語や英語圏の文化や習慣だけではなく、英語圏の人と日本人の感覚両方を理解している講師から英語を学びたい！」

などという方のためのクラスです。

　正直に言います。私は生まれも育ちも日本、「ザ・ショウワ」の家庭に育った普通の日本人です。なので、母国語は日本語で、英語はネイティブ言語ではありません。その時代では極々一般的な、「英語は中学校１年生から」です。当然、私の英語は、発音や語彙力においてネイティブに劣ります。

　しかし、自慢するほどのことではありませんが、学生時代は親のスネをかじりながら、大学・大学院生時代をアメリカで約８年間を過ごしました。

　その後は翻訳や通訳の仕事、英会話の講師の仕事などを２０年間ほど続けています。公立小学校のALT(アシスタント・ランゲージ・ティーチャー)の経験もあるんです... と言うと聞こえはいいかもしれませんが、実際は家計のことは家内に任せて、子育てと家事をしながら、空いている時間に自分のできることをしているだけ...

　うっうん。失礼。さて、話を戻します。自分で言うのはなんですが、明るく元気で、"大人気の講師 (半分冗談^_^)" ですので、「いきなりネイティブの先生のレッスンを受けるのは抵抗がある」という方、ぜひ私にお任せください。

　いきなりレッスンの予約をしていただいても全然問題ありませんが、色々と不安がある方は、まずはお気軽にメッセージを。

NOTE:

I have designed this complete curriculum using resources from Cambridge, Oxford and my own materials. Step by step, your children will be able to speak about a range of topics in English. Vocabulary will be introduced and grammatical structures will be reinforced through fun games and activities.

This class will use a Google document and screen sharing. This way, we will both be able to see the images. You will also be able to see what your children are learning.

Recommendations:
- 30-minute lessons are the ideal length for younger students
- The student should have at least some level of English to begin with for the class to be valuable. I can teach complete beginners from Spanish.
- On days that my schedule is full, the lessons may be 25/45/55 minutes long so that I can be on time for the next student. However, in general we'll be able to complete the full class time.

Children & Teenagers

This trial lesson is for anyone who wants to practice their English through conversation. You can choose a topic or if you like I can choose one for you. Alternatively, we can talk about your week, how your day has been or we can even discuss some English words you are unsure about and their use. Personally, I like to talk about travelling, different countries and cultures, health and fitness, animals, movies and music.
The most important things I would like to get from my trial lessons are: 
- Your English level 
- Your reasons for learning English & your future goals 
- Your likes and dislikes 
- To see if you would like to book me as your regular teacher 
You are welcome to request a specific time for your classes (even if you don't see it available on my schedule) and I will see what I can do to accommodate you.
I hope to see you soon 😄

🗣️ Time To Talk - Adult Conversation Practice

This lesson is designed specifically for kids, to give them a place where they can talk about anything they would like and to practise their conversation skills. We will discuss different topics and do fun activities. During the duration of our class, I will make corrections on grammar, word choice and pronunciation. The aim of this lesson is to speak as much as possible to apply what they are currently learning at school or what they are learning from my ''structured'' lessons. 
I have been teaching English to kids ages 3-18 for about 5 years. I have my TEYL course which is a course designed specifically for teaching ''young'' learners.

✏️ Time To Talk - Conversation Practice For Kids (age 3 - 15)

These lessons are designed to help your child learn new vocabulary words, form sentences using correct sentence structures, and to practice their reading skills. The lessons follow a structured lesson plan in which your child will be able to progress verbally and grammatically in the English language.

Though these lessons are structured your child will go through the materials at his/her own pace. There is no rush to finish lesson materials in an allocated time but rather your child will move into the next subject and grammar point when he/she has fully grasped the concept. Learning any language is like building a house. You need to have a solid foundation in order to build a strong house. 

Objectives (level dependant):
1. Ask and respond to simple, routine and predictable questions about personal information.
2. Communicate in informal conversations.
3. Understand keywords, some phrases, commands, and sentences in specific conversational topics. 
4. Read a text and discuss it.
5. Write sentences and phrases about the topic being discussed.

Lesson breakdown:
1. Introduction 
2. vocabulary 
3. Controlled practice (match the words, fill in the missing word and sentence reordering)
4. Less controlled practice (conversation)
5. Homework is given at the end of the lesson

🏆 Time To Learn - Kids Lessons (age 3 - 15)

These classes are created to push you out of your comfort zone. We are all happy and comfortable talking about the topics we know and are used to. But, what happens when you are faced with the challenge to speak about something completely different! Your English vocabulary expands and you are able to learn new phrases and eventually talk about absolutely anything!
 
These lessons differ from conversational lessons as they are based on structured materials. There will be a topic for the lesson, a video, a text to read or a specific topic to discuss. 
Instead of a free-flowing conversational lesson, these lessons are guided by the topic discussed for the lesson and the vocabulary words provided.

Una clase de prueba (de inglés o español) para cualquier nivel para comprobar el nivel que tiene el estudiante, practicar un poco y empezar a conocernos. Con esta clase será más fácil elegir el material de estudio para la clase y podrás probar un poco mi método y si quieres seguir dando clases.

Clases para gente que tiene un nivel de B1 a B2 (o aspira a obtenerlos), también las pueden tomar estudiantes de niveles más bajos como A1 o A2, o incluso que nunca hayan aprendido nada de inglés, ya que se adaptarán al nivel del estudiante. Las clases serán mayormente teóricas y se enseñará gramática y vocabulario, pero también se harán practicas. El libro o material para la enseñanza puede ser recomendado por el alumno pero una vez visto el nivel yo traeré el material de enseñanza. Si se busca práctica oral, recomiendo la en la categoría práctica de conversación. Las clases son individuales y la webcam para el estudiante es opcional

Spaß beim Lernen, zu einem besseren Preis.
