InterestsTravelReadingScienceEnvironment & NatureHistory
I live in South West England, in the county of Devon, and I love spending time in nature, learning languages, reading and playing piano. I am very passionate about learning different languages and the benefit and enrichment it brings in terms of improved memory and focus, cultural competence, oppoutunities for volunteering, flexible thinking and transferable social skills. Recently, Ukrainian and Persian have been of particular importance to me, and I also studied Spanish at university to a C1 level.

The teacher has a clear and standard accent, and is very patient. Whenever I got stuck, they would guide me with gestures and simple example sentences to help me speak. There was plenty of interaction in class, and they also customised dialogue exercises based on my work context. I’ve learned a lot.

This is the first lesson with Karl after the trial. He is consistently diligent and well prepared. He selected an article based on my interests. Guided me shadowing his pronoucation and corrected me when I made mistakes. Which I appreciated most is that he asked me thoughtful questions to let me think actively instead of listen passively.

J'ai déjà un bon niveau en anglais mais je voulais travailler ma prononciation, et Karl s'est adapté à mes attentes. On travaille sur des sons spécifiques, de différentes manières selon ce qui fonctionne ou non pour moi. Il arrive à entendre d'où vient le problème dans ma prononciation, et à la corriger. Il est aussi capable de me dire la prononciation actuelle de l'anglais "standard" britannique (et quelques accents régionaux), pour me dire la différence entre la transcription phonétique des dictionnaires (qui n'est pas forcément à jour) et celle vraiment utilisée. En général, je lis un article (ou on discute), pour travailler sur d'autres types d'erreurs (mot mal prononcé, accentuation, ...). Il fournit les textes que je lis (mais je peux également choisir), et un document Word pour garder une trace des cours.

I really enjoyed the lesson! Karl is very professional in terms of language learning and teaching. During the lesson, he not only helped to correct my pronunciation and use of words, but also tried to guide me to express my opinions patiently. He's very friendly and encouraging as well, the whole lesson was very relaxing. I've learned a lot from just one lesson. Cheers!
