Welcome to My Advanced English Lessons
My lessons are designed to help you become more confident, fluent, and accurate in English — not just by studying the language, but by using it actively.

Lesson Format

- Clear Objectives: Each lesson begins with a goal (e.g., “Expressing complex opinions,” “Writing persuasive arguments,” or “Understanding academic texts”).

- Short, Interactive Segments: I break the class into manageable parts so you practice listening, speaking, reading, and writing in every session.

- Active Participation: You won’t just listen to me — you’ll engage in discussions, debates, role-plays, and problem-solving activities.
What You’ll Do in Class

- Warm-up & Review (5–10 min): Quick interactive activity to review previous material and introduce today’s theme.

- Core Practice (20–30 min): Guided exercises, such as analyzing short articles, debating current issues, or working through real-life scenarios (emails, presentations, interviews).

- Interactive Activity (10–15 min): Games, critical-thinking questions, or small challenges to apply new language immediately.

- Reflection & Feedback (5–10 min): Summarize what you learned, correct mistakes, and set goals for next time.


Learning Dynamics

- Focus on speaking fluently and naturally, with attention to advanced vocabulary and idioms.

- Work on listening to different English accents through audio/video practice.

- Practice academic and professional writing (essays, reports, business emails).

- Learn through cultural context — idiomatic expressions, humor, and cultural references.


Activities to Help You Retain English

- Short quizzes and memory games.

- Real-life role-plays (job interviews, negotiations, presentations).

- Group or pair debates to strengthen critical thinking in English.

- “Teach-back” method, where you explain new concepts back to me.
