Hi everyone,
My name is Tim. I am a native English speaker with a neutral accent. I am from Canada but I live in Berlin, Germany. I have four years of in-class and online teaching experience. Connecting with other people is something that I do naturally and enjoy. My other job is a professional music producer and sound engineer. After I finished a Bachelor's degree in classical guitar, I did a Masters in Sound Recording and then worked for 11 years as a music producer in Canada. I love languages and speak French, German and a little Spanish. Because of this experience, I can understand the sort of challenges that face language learners.Me as a Teacher
I've had the pleasure of teaching children and adults from A1 to C2 using adaptive methods that respect the needs of each individual. While I believe that learning grammar and vocabulary are extremely important aspects of language learning, I like to have meaningful discussions with students, using this context as a vehicle to deliver new language skills. My background in music has helped me to develop skills as an expert in English pronunciation, coaching students on how to develop a clear, neutral English accent. It is worth noting that my skills in English writing and editing are quite advanced thanks my thirteen years of scholastic and professional experience. My lessons & teaching style
I focus on speaking, using a variety of topics, ranging from day to day activities to broader subjects. For this reason, I find conversation provides a relaxed context for understanding each student’s ability with the aim of designing a plan to challenge each student to improve their pronunciation, style, grammar and vocabulary. I write notes while students speak. This helps when suggesting alternative language and for later review.
Young learners: I try to understand what inspires each student and then use this as a way to connect with them while delivering new language skills.
In my writing class, I will respect your writing style while enhancing it’s language and organization.My teaching material
