CELTA-qualified teacher with 10 years' experience offers online lessons to B1-C2 adults. I specialise in Pronunciation/Grammar

Since I am a language enthusiast and learner myself (and bilingual in English and Italian), I know how our mind works when learning a foreign language and I use this to our advantage in our lessons. I prefer teaching B1+ students so we can already have a good friendly conversation. I want to create a relaxed and informal atmosphere so you can feel comfortable and at ease with me, but still knowing that we are going to work hard to achieve your goals. This allows me to focus on your mistakes as I strongly believe that error correction is at the core of mastering a foreign language: we all make mistakes and that is absolutely fine, and I am interested in knowing the thought process in your head that leads to you making them. Understanding WHY something is wrong is incredibly useful and it makes it much easier to avoid making the same mistake again. I want to help you be able to speak fully, independently and freely by showing you the logic behind English: you don’t have to simply memorise its rules by heart as I want you to understand them so you are more in control of the language. There is always a reason why we say what we say the way we say it, and we can apply this concept to old and new grammar topics. I specialise in Pronunciation and I can help you recognise sounds (with your ears and their phonetic symbols), physically and technically produce them in your mouth and I can also show you the rules that we have to choose the right sound based on the spelling of a word. Feel free to check out my Youtube channel ENGLOGIC to get an idea of my teaching method. If you are planning to become or already are an EFL teacher, we can work on the terminology and technical knowledge that you need in order to obtain your qualification and to feel confident in class.
