I have lived in Ecuador for many years, and so know quite a lot of Spanish. This has helped me to teach and help Spanish students to improve their English quickly.
I have an English accent, which the students in this continent seem to love !
Students from anywhere else in the world are also welcome !
I am very dedicated to my students learning journey, butt I like to make it fun for everyone.Ik als leerkracht
I have a lot of patience as a teacher. I have been teaching professionals at work as well as younger students. The best way for me to teach is to understand what the students need with their English. Classes can be taught to fit these individual needs. Classes need to have variety, and it is very important to keep the students interested. Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I try and keep the classes as relaxed as possible. To get to personally know the students and give them as much confidence as possible in their English. The students learn the best through as much talking practice as possible, covering as wide a range as subjects/topics as possible. It is important to not continually correct every mistake, but to let the students learn. The more relaxed and confident they are, the more they are learning, in the long run.
I can help to prepare for standardized tests, such as TOEFL.Mijn lesmateriaal

I was very nervous at first because I haven't spoken English in a very long time but professor was very clear, easy to talk to and helped me giving me options whenever I couldn't express what I wanted completely. I totally recommend his lessons if you want to practice and improve your conversational skills!

I have another lesson with Leigh, which is really helpful. We focus on reading and learning new phonics during the lesson and he provides teaching material that match my level based on my progress from the last session. I really appreciate it.
