The one thing they all have in common is... grammar mistakes! I commonly review these parts of grammar with even my most advanced students: ◼️ Conditionals ◼️ Modal Verbs ◼️ Prepositions ◼️ Advanced Verb Tenses ◼️ Reported Speech The program I use to teach advanced grammar includes a personal learning plan, digital English lessons, and homework assignments. Most lessons include speaking, reading, listening, and writing skills. We can combine grammar classes with conversation. 💬 ONE-ON-ONE CONVERSATION 💬 A common English expression I remind my students is 'practice makes perfect'. One-on-one conversation classes are a perfect learning environment for practicing your English skills and boosting your confidence. Do you prefer free talk or topic-based discussion like culture, lifestyle, global issues, technology, or daily news? It's your choice! 👀 TED TALKS 👀 TED Talks are a great way to improve your English skills and learn something new. They are easier than podcasts. You can see the speaker and read the subtitles. I encourage my students to watch TV with subtitles. We can do this together, using TED Talks. We will pause the video and check your understanding of vocabulary and expressions. 👀 NPR PODCASTS 👀 For my highest-level students, I use NPR Podcasts. Prepare for a challenge! You will need to listen intently and take notes! NPR is short for National Public Radio. It has been 'on air' in the United States for over 50 years. In this class, you will choose a subject. We will listen to it together, pausing every few sentences to review vocabulary and expressions. You won't have access to the transcripts, so you must focus on the conversation. If you aren't being tested, I will be surprised. I am a native speaker and I learn new things every time! 💻 BUSINESS ENGLISH CURRICULUM 💻 Business English is a universal language in the corporate world.

I can stand and speak in front of a crowd with confidence. We will use the method I have been training with since childhood to help you improve your public speaking skills. You will prepare short speeches for review and critique. Before each speech, we will review qualities you can implement to help you improve as a public speaker. Qualities important for public speaking include: ◼️ correct pronunciation ◼️ appropriate pausing ◼️ enthusiasm ◼️ warmth and feeling ◼️ gestures and facial expression ◼️ visual contact ◼️ extemporaneous delivery ◼️ conversational manner ◼️ conviction ◼️ tactful yet firm ◼️ repetition for emphasis ◼️ effective conclusion Which qualities do you need to improve to become a skilled public speaker? 📖 VOCABULARY BUILDER 📖 I love books! In this class, we will pick an appropriate book to study together. I will give you a reading assignment before class. While reading, please note every word or expression you don't understand. In class, we will review the new vocabulary and expressions. Then we will discuss the reading assignment and practice meaningful conversation. There are so many amazing books to be read! Are you ready to begin? 😊 MORE DETAILS ABOUT ME 😊 ➡️ I was born and raised in the US but I live in Mexico. I love Mexico, my family, traveling, gardening, animals, and new adventures.
