Hello! My name is Benji; I'm an American teacher of English and Spanish who's been hopping around the world for the past few years. I've studied in Chile, met and spoken German with family in Germany, and taught English across three continents. In my free time, I love tabletop role-playing games, video games, fantasy books, and nice cafés. I'm also queer, so in my classes you can come as you are! ✨Minha atuação como professor
My teaching style is informal - I like to explain fun language topics, but I'm not trying to be fancy. I think of myself as a helpful resource, not the king of a classroom. I'm a guy who just loves to talk about languages and learn about cultures. I also love a good lesson on music - it's the most fun way to learn!Minhas aulas e estilo de ensino
My teaching focuses on three areas: acquiring pronunciation, understanding grammar, and using media to further language skills. I can create structured lessons on specific grammar topics or vocabulary for specific situations, or help you build language skills from square one. If you'd prefer to just talk and get some feedback, I provide notes on where you can improve your pronunciation and grammar, as well as new or useful vocabulary. I'm happy to follow your lead on what you'd like to work on! :)Meu material de ensino
