Hi! My name's Kevin, an American expat living in Belgrade, and who's been teaching English since 2011. The final level of learning a language - any language - is sounding like a real person, not AI. What I do is take the English you know and shape it with everyday words and expressions that native (American)The final level of learning any language is sounding like a real person, not a robot. What I do is take the English you know and sculpt it into everyday words and expressions that native English speakers actually use. For instance, you can say, "I understand" and everyone will understand. But if you said instead "I get it," you'll impress the native speaker to no end (trust me on this). I have a range of topics to talk about, one per class, which will exercise your English every which way. Or we can talk about what YOU want to talk about. I'm not to dominate the dialogue. I'm just here to get your mouth and your brain moving! What I do is ask questions. Then, I listen to your answers. Then, if I think you said something that I think could be changed a little bit in order to sound more natural, I'll both say it and I'll write it in the chat box, so that you can both see and hear my suggestions. I like to have fun, and teach by example, not discipline and rules and absolutely, positively no homework. So ... may I interest you in a trial lesson?
