Sobre mí
Hi! My name's Kevin, an American expat living in Belgrade, and who's been teaching English since 2011.
The final level of learning a language - any language - is sounding like a real person, not AI. What I do is take the English you know and shape it with everyday words and expressions that native (American) English speakers actually use.
For example, you could say, "I understand" and everyone will understand. But if you said instead "I get it" or "I gotcha," you'll impress the native speaker to no end (trust me on this).
I have a range of topics to talk about, one per class, which will exercise your English every which way. Or we can talk about what YOU want to talk about. I'm not to dominate the dialogue. I'm just here to get your mouth and your brain moving!
What I do is ask questions. Then, I listen to your answers. Then, if I think you said something that I think could be changed a little bit in order to sound more natural, I'll both say it and I'll write it in the chat box, so that you can both see and hear my suggestions.
I like to have fun, and teach by example, not discipline and rules and absolutely, positively no homework. I love learning from others as well. I've gotten to know so much about this world in ways never possible without this platform. So ... may I interest you in a trial lesson?
Please note: I'm not qualified to instruct or help beginners, especially children. There are, however, many teachers here on Preply who can. Please put yourselves in their capable hands, not mine. Otherwise, it's just going to be torture for both of us. Trust me on this too.
Also, it should be noted: I made my introductory video years ago, and it was such an upsetting experience (my generation grew up hating cameras) that I haven't had the guts to update it. So please don't be surprised - should you book a lesson - to see an old man looking back at you!
