Une excellente conversation avec Brandon ! Le temps passe vite quand on parle de différents sujets. L'information circule et c'est comme parler avec un ami. J'apprends beaucoup de sa méthode efficace, riche en corrections et en conseils. Si vous voulez améliorer votre anglais, prenez un cours avec lui. 100% recommandé :-)

Un commentaire en français pour les francophones : J'ai mis du temps à trouver le bon professeur d'anglais, avec Cate c'est génial, déjà 40 cours en 6 mois et mes progrès sont évidents, de plus les cours se font dans la bonne humeur, sans stress ce qui est important quand au début on est un peu timide de parler une langue étrangère. MERCI Cate

Merci Alexandre, j'ai vraiment apprécié toutes nos conversations ! N'hésitez pas à lui faire confiance. Alexander est une personne très patiente, ouverte d'esprit et curieuse des nouvelles cultures. Il a fait en sorte que j'apprenne de nombreux mots de vocabulaire et m'a donné de bons conseils pour progresser. De plus, Alexandre est super encourageant 🤩.

J'ai définitivement trouvé la bonne personne avec James ! Nous couvrons beaucoup de sujets à chaque fois que nous nous rencontrons et nous nous amusons beaucoup ! J'ai besoin d'améliorer mes compétences en anglais pour me mélanger avec des locuteurs natifs et il m'apprend à penser comme un Américain, pas à traduire de l'italien à l'américain ! Bien joué Mate !

Parler avec Jason est la combinaison parfaite d'une expérience agréable et enrichissante. Nous discutons de toutes sortes de sujets, sans ordre du jour. Jason est naturellement intéressé et, avec sa bonne nature, il vous aborde de manière amicale et professionnelle. Les séances sont recommandées à tous ceux qui ont quelque chose à dire et qui apprécient une conversation intensive, soutenue, élégante et amusante.

J'ai beaucoup aimé le cours de Jean. Je pense que je peux faire beaucoup de progrès avec elle, la conversation était tellement fluide. Je suis sûr que je vais réserver une autre session :)

Merci beaucoup Mark d'avoir écouté mon interprétation des peintures du Louvre ! Je ferai de mon mieux avec mes clients :D

Danielle est formidable ! Elle est précise dans ses explications et drôle. Les leçons sont très conviviales. Je recommande Danielle à tout le monde, et pour info je vais réserver un nouveau forfait de cours.

Nous avons eu une grande conversation, y compris sur des sujets spécialisés et beaucoup de vocabulaire utile a été fourni ! :-)

This course is designed for children ages 7-12 who would like to learn to read, write and speak English. It can be applied to different levels, according to the student's needs The course involves free speaking, singing songs, and reading. It's a fun way for kids to start using the English language.

Kids English Course

This course is designed for those who would like to learn to discuss a variety of everyday topics, and it can be applied to any level. With the perfect combination of grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, and speaking practice, this course will put you on the path to fluency.

General English Course

This course is designed for those who would like to use English primarily to communicate at work. It involves discussing a variety of business-related topics, and can be adapted to the student's particular industry or area of interest.

Business English Course

This course is designed for Russian students of any level who would like to learn to talk about everyday topics. With the perfect balance of grammar, vocabulary, and speaking practice, you'll be using the language in no time.

General Russian Course

Informal lessons are primarily for informal speaking practice. However, they can fill a wide variety of needs. If you need a native speaker to check your business e-mail before sending it, you have some questions you'd like to ask, or you are a self-motivated student of the language who only needs speaking practice, I recommend taking informal lessons.

Informal Tutoring

If you would like to practice your Russian in a low-stress situation, or would like to maximize your speaking time during the lesson, then this is the lesson for you. There will be plenty of topics for us to discuss, and I always give instant feedback to help you speak correctly.

Certificate for Teaching English as a Foreign language (with Merit)

My duties included providing Arabic conversational practice for Arabic 102 students at weekly speaking appointments, evaluating skits, giving scores and  providing appropriate feedback and tutoring for conversational Arabic .

I help children to learn English by teaching them new words and phrases, doing activities, and freely interacting with them in English. This broadens the range of ages I'm prepared to work with.

We will talk about your English goals for about 10 minutes.  Then, depending on your goals, we will talk more, or do a grammar exercise, or do a pronunciation exercise.  Finally, I will give you some suggestions for improvement.

My students make very good progress in each lesson.  In general, my students take ten to fifteen lessons, then stop because they have met their goals.

I have advanced training in articulatory phonetics and English phonology.  I know how to position the jaw, the tongue, and the lips for each of the 44 sounds of American English.

- We work on HEARING the difference between similar sounds.
Examples: light, right; fat, vat, bat, pat.

- We work on PRONOUNCING each sound correctly.

- We work on PRONOUNCING words based on English SPELLING PATTERNS (phonics).
Example: The words "maid" and "made" sound the same, but "mad" is different.

- We work on CONNECTED SPEECH and REDUCED SPEECH.
Example: Would you like a cup of tea? 
=>  wouldyoulikeacupoftea? 
=> woo[d]/juh/lie/kuh/kuh/puh/tea?
=> IPA [wʊ.dʒə.laɪ.kə.kə.pə.ti?]

We work on INTONATION.
Examples:
Is Sue coming for a visit?  [voice goes up]
When is Sue coming for a visit? [voice goes down]

NOTE 1 - My lessons are custom.  The lessons are based on your needs.

NOTE 2 - I use Microsoft Teams only.

NOTE 3 - You should use a computer or tablet with a large, easy-to-read screen.  We often read or discuss a document, so a phone is usually unsuitable.

NOTE 4 - You should use a headset.  You will hear me better and I will hear you better (and I will not hear the other noises in your room).

American Accent/Pronunciation (Phonics/Spelling Patterns, Stress, Intonation, Connected Speech, Reduced Speech)

We will practice job interview skills.  If you are looking for someone to proofread your resume (CV), please contact a teacher who offers proofreading.

My students usually first take about five IT conversation classes to practice talking about work. Then, my students take five to ten job interview classes to practice answering technical and behavioral questions. 

The usual sequence of classes consists of a session talking about work, and as needed, improving the resume (CV), then a few sessions to practice short answers to technical questions, and then a few sessions to practice short answers to behavioral questions. Finally, we look at the job description and interview from the hiring managers viewpoint and practice answering questions in a way that emphasizes the candidate's overall value to the hiring company.

You will practice talking about your life, your work, or world news.  We will talk (and talk and talk). 

I can share experiences about living in Canada and the US, about working in Silicon Valley (Intel and other companies) and about hobbies (travel, photography, sailing, amateur car racing, tournament chess).
 
Sometimes, we will have ten minutes of pronunciation review, and other times, we will have ten minutes of grammar review.

NOTE 5 - Students should get a copy of English Grammar in Use with answers by Murphy (3rd, 4th, or 5th edition).  When we review a grammar point, we can refer to the same page and quickly review the examples.  Later, you can do the exercises and check your answers against the answers in the back of the book.

IT Conversation and General Conversation (Fluency, Pronunciation, Grammar, Vocabulary)

These lessons are for general writing skills. 

If you are looking to correct a document, such as a university paper or a resume/CV, please contact a teacher who offers proofreading.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

My students make very good progress in each lesson.  In general, my students take ten to fifteen lessons, then stop because they have met their goals.

Basic Approach

You send me your text 48 hours in advance.  I send you a revised copy which includes corrections and suggestions.  During the lesson, we discuss the corrections and work on grammar as needed.  Usually, at the end of each lesson, we choose a new topic, and you send me a new text before the next lesson.

Writing and Correction (Style, Grammar, Vocabulary)

This certificate is awarded for completion of four university TESL classes and one practicum.  It certifies that I am qualified to teach English to non-English speakers.

Let's get to know each other and have a 30 minute chat! We can talk about your goals as a student and what you are looking for on italki.

These lessons will be structured, and will focus on widening your vocabulary, improving your pronunciation and increasing your awareness and use of new grammar, language structures and idioms.

I can send you a textbook (English File) but we can use a variety of different materials, such as YouTube videos, news stories and articles. If you love grammar, I can provide plenty of exercises - but if you hate grammar, we can introduce the new language in a more conversational way! If you want homework, I can set you some and give you feedback.

We will cover six key skills - reading, writing, speaking, listening, pronunciation and grammar - but the exact amounts of each can be up to you!

General English Tutoring

If you need English for work, or if you have a job interview soon, then this is the course for you! We can cover vocabulary and situations that you are likely to find at work. We can role-play situations like job interviews, participating in a meeting, negotiating a sale or making a presentation to a group. I can send you a textbook (Business Result) but we can use any other materials.

Business English Tutoring

This is a course designed to improve your accent and build awareness of advanced pronunciation. You should be B1+ level to make the most of this course. I will listen to you speak and give you some general advice. We will discuss common pronunciation issues for speakers of your language. Then we will study the following topics:

International Phonetic Alphabet
English phonetics
Word stress
Sentence stress
Weak forms & contractions
Linking sounds & connected speech

We can either move through the course in a structured way (I recommend 10 lessons), or I can listen to you speak and give advice for issues as they emerge. We can do a mixture of drills and practising natural speech.

Please note that we will not discuss much about grammar and vocabulary - it is purely about pronunciation.

Words are the basic blocks of the language, and one of the key predictors of someone’s education level, profession, and social status. Yet most students struggle to increase their vocabulary effectively, as unfamiliar words go one into one ear and out the other.

It’s not that we have difficulties grasping the vocabulary when we see it. Rather, we struggle to recall when we use it, or worse yet, forget to use it frequently enough only to end up back where we began.

This lesson will describe seven proven tactics to overcome this struggle and learn new words faster, recall them more effectively, and remember them forever.

7 Easy Ways to Improve Your Vocabulary Fast and Overcome the Struggle (A1 - C2)

Goal setting involves the development of an action plan designed to motivate and guide a person or group toward a goal. Goal setting can be guided by goal-setting criteria, such as SMART criteria. Goal setting is a major component of personal development, OKRs, and SMART goals.

OKRs, S.M.A.R.T. Goal Setting: Major component of Personal Development

Ever think that when you want to talk to someone new but can’t? You rack your brains, searching for the words. But somehow, nothing seems right.

Or perhaps you actually try out one of the starting lines you agonized over, only to have him or her or them treat you like a beggar at a gas station.

If so, this "Conversation Practice Pronunciation Spelling Reading Listening" can help. It will give you a conversation framework packed with great principles and best practices.

That’s important because when you sense you have a better idea of what to do socially, your confidence grows.

I learned these skills from personal experience and the combined wisdom of several conversations, relationships, and interpersonal communication experts. These lessons have been SO valuable to me. I know they’ll help you too.

Proofreading Service

I received a 'Pass' certification assessment in a 175 CELTA course in Montañita Ecuador during a 5 week period.

I obtained a Master's in Curriculum and Instruction with a concentration on Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages in order to enrich my pedagogic capabilities, better understand the process of language acquisition, learn and employ other methods and approaches in language teaching, and to further dedicate myself to my career as a language instructor.

My pre-graduate studies focused on the use of language as a communicative tool in mass media, journalism, radio, television and cinema. I also obtained a Minor in Hispanic Studies.

I worked as a conversation teacher to Ecuadorian language learners of all levels and ages, which provided me with a wide array of classroom experiences. Because of the relaxed and communicative focus of the courses, we were able to have fun while learning developing fruitful student-teacher connections, which is my professional objective as an italki teacher.

This experience will help me guide and engage students who are tasked with taking the FCE for Schools exam (CEFR: B2) because I know how to make the course materials interesting, relevant to the students' context and objectives, authentic, challenging and enjoyable with the creative use of games and activities.

University teaching demands dedication to the teaching craft, a high degree of professionalism and consistent practice of sound pedagogical approaches to instruction. Teaching at UDEP undoubtedly enriched my understanding of what it means to be a teacher and helped me recognize the challenges that students ages 16-22 face by balancing their studies, work, and personal circumstances. Many students choose italki to learn a language to achieve that balance, and I can help them be productive!

I was allowed full freedom to design my courses, choose my materials, administer students and teach lessons during my time in Zamora, a small city in the Ecuadorean jungle. Due to this experience, I know how to maintain teacher autonomy and creatively design entire courses to maximize the students' opportunities to achieve their learning objectives, which carries over well in digital instruction too.

Until recently I was working at the local university in the city I live in as a full-time language instructor. In addition to the duties as a language instructor to students studying to be language teachers themselves ("Pedagogía de idiomas nacionales y extranjeros) were also to design courses on digital learning platforms, direct theses, revise academic texts, and carry out research projects.
