I’m Dennis, a native English speaker with 8 years of experience. I was born near Toronto 🇨🇦. I love helping students achieve their goals. Let’s make learning effective and enjoyable. See you in class! Здравствуйте! Я носитель английского с 8 годами опыта преподавания английского. Я родился и жил возле Торонто. Специализируюсь на работе с русскоязычными. На занятиях с учениками мы работаем над грамматикой, речью, пониманием текстов и так далее. Я помогаю ученикам добиться своих целей максимально эффективно и без стресса. До встречи! My goal is to engage my students as much as possible, to make learning interesting and maximally easy. I recognize this is a difficult goal, because language-learning is not easy and not even always interesting. I may have my preferred methods, I may prefer to spend more time on certain topics than on others, but my job is to help the student, however they need this help. So I like to have constant feedback on what is working and what is not in order to make needed adjustments. I don't expect perfection. For me, what is worse is not a student's mistake when speaking, but when the student is too shy to speak. My thinking is that the more mistakes I catch, the less the student will make. In my lessons, there is a mix of activities: reading, pronunciation practice, speaking, so on. I think practice is important, so explanations involve examples with practice for after. Depending on the type of lesson, I may use a document or presentation....

Dennis is an excellent teacher. He explains everything clearly, pays attention to every detail when I speak and corrects my mistakes. Dennis is an interesting conversationalist and a nice guy, our classes always have fun topics. Learning English with him is like an exciting adventure :)

I have been studying with Denis for more than half a year. Lessons are mostly in the format of speaking classes, which is a priority for me now. But also the teacher does not forget to correct grammar and add new expressions to my vocabulary. Very interesting person to talk to, and a sensitive teacher. We will keep working.
