Ich als Lehrkraft
I'm patient, personable and understanding. I'll try to make you as comfortable as possible and build your confidence to use your English or Romanian skills in the real world. I enjoy meeting new people and I welcome you to contact me outside of lessons if you require any further help!

Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I provide a laid-back approach to learning, whereby the stress is placed on me as a teacher to help you learn, not on you as a student. Each lesson will be tailor made for the student, depending on their ability. However, I offer the following basic guidelines:
For beginner students:
- vocabulary
- basic grammar
- text translations
- basic conversations
- pronunciation
For intermediate students:
- how to express oneself/giving opinions
- phrases and idioms
- conversational practice
- writing simple texts
- intermediate grammar exercises
Advanced students
- essay writing
- advanced conversation
- subtleties and intricacies of regional dialects
- advanced grammar

I thoroughly enjoyed my initial lesson with James. He's not only friendly and patient but also highly knowledgeable. Most importantly, his proficiency in Romanian is exceptional. Speaking as a teacher, I believe it's crucial not to underestimate the expertise of someone who has mastered a foreign language. Such teachers often offer insights and nuances that even native speakers might not be able to provide. Thank you, James!

My trial lesson with James was exceptional. What truly stood out was his ability to provide logical explanations, breaking down grammar rules and language nuances in a way that made sense and stuck in my mind. I'm eager to continue learning with him.
