Hello, I'm Robert! Originally from New York with a professional background in the information technology industry.
I'm currently based in Europe and have had the opportunity to explore a variety of cultures and languages. I lived in Southeast Asia for over eight years, where I learned Thai, and later spent a year in Mexico, where I studied Spanish. These language-learning experiences help me relate to my students and better understand the challenges of acquiring a language.
Outside of teaching, I enjoy staying active with tennis, cycling, and jogging.
I look forward to helping you achieve your English goals and supporting your growth as a confident communicator.Ik als leerkracht
I’m an engaging, fun, and patient teacher with a strong foundation in grammar and diverse teaching methodologies, thanks to my background as a TEFL trainer and teacher assessor.
My teaching journey began in Thailand, where I taught English for math and science in a primary school. I later worked with Thai university students at a language center.
Living in a non-English speaking country myself, I completely understand the challenges of learning a new language. I aim to create a relaxed, encouraging space where you can improve your English for work, travel, or daily life—whatever your goals may be!Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
*Real-world conversation: I believe that fluency comes from speaking with real people. My lessons focus on having conversations about topics that you are interested in.
*Personalized experience: I adapt to your level, goals, and interests.
*Focus on speaking: I encourage you to speak from the beginning, regardless of your level.
*Feedback and correction: I provide timely feedback on grammar and pronunciation.
*Individualized learning activities: I generate practice activities based on the topics and target vocabulary. After the lesson I send a PDF that will reinforce your language acquistion between lessons.Mijn lesmateriaal
