I'm focused on giving people their own space and time to feel comfortable and confident enough to start a conversation, no judgment, I know how hard it is to be 'new at this'.
It would be a privilege to teach anyone the basics, to give them a chance to express their thoughts and feelings, because we should all be able to communicate freely.

My own experience:
I was taught the basic English at school, but I've quickly realised that, the real language is totally different from what I've heard at school, I know how intimidating it is to hear the slang, when you think you know what to say but you struggle and stop for a long time to find the right word.
I'm still learning myself, how to relax when I'm surrounded by my English coworkers and it is fascinating how people talk. But no matter what, it's really important to have a normal chat, and I really want to help.
I prefer to have a normal conversation at first, to understand the needs of potential students, to let them know that I'm also just a human who's only here to support them and that they don't have to worry about any typical school -type of teaching.
I also think, that it's nice to have a little banter from time to time, so for anyone who wants to learn English it might be a useful tool in their future conversations.
Sometimes all we need is a little push and a friendly face :)
