About Me

***Please message me about the days and times you want to take lessons before booking a trial lesson*** ***I offer immersion lessons focused on your goals (Business Conversations, Interviews, Presentations, TOEFL/IELTS Exams etc.). I believe immersion is the best and only way to be fluent in a language. During the lessons we will talk with each other about what you are interested in. Don't believe all these people with lesson plans, AI apps, and PowerPoint presentations, instead believe the people you have actually met in real life who speak really good English because they have spent a lot of time talking with and listening to native speakers and teachers.

Students have also complimented me on my focus on pronunciation, so if that's something you especially want to focus on in the lesson, we can definitely work on it. Writing exercises can also be used to help my students think more carefully about how to express their ideas in English. Additionally, exam prep for the speaking and listening sections of FCE, CAE, TOEFL and IELTS is offered. The tasks in these exams are great for improving your speaking and listening skills and are useful even if you are not planning on taking these exams and you just want to improve your general English. Furthermore, I have experience teaching non-native ESL teachers how to deal with teaching challenges that come up in the classroom. Finally Business English through case studies as well as interview and presentation practice is another topic we can focus on too!

Most importantly though, please check if you can see a free time on my calendar for you to routinely schedule lessons, you may need to check 2-3 weeks in advance.

Trial lessons are 25 minutes long

Personally:
I'm 36, and I live with my better half and her 11 year old daughter near Orlando, Florida in the USA.

The Reason for My Prices:
The legal minimum wage in Florida is currently $12 USD per hour. - www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/minimum-wage/state#fl - Verbling requires me to pay a 15% commission on every lesson I teach. Verbling also automatically offers discounts of 3%, 6%, and 9% on lesson packages, and this lowers the pay I receive. So if you bought a package of 20 lessons, I actually have to bill you $15.79 USD per lesson to receive the $12 USD minimum wage per hour. (15.79*0.24= 3.79, 15.79 - 3.79 =12)

Finally, consider my qualifications as well, in addition to having a US and UK government authorized TEFL certificate (www.i-to-i.com/tefl-courses/accredited.html), I graduated from the University of Central Florida in Orlando, which is ranked 124th out of 439 national universities in the US; or in other words, ranked in the top third of universities in the US. www.usnews.com/best-colleges/ucf-3954/overall-rankings.

My trial lessons

In the trial lesson, students will be asked to talk about their interests and goals as well as when they will regularly take lessons. Students should think about when they can regularly schedule their lessons before coming to the trial lesson as scheduling lessons is the most important step to making progress.
