I love supporting people with English and with their confidence in using it in everyday practical and professional contexts.

I focus very much on the person practicing speaking a lot so that they can start really using the language as soon as possible and as quickly as possible! I always try to better understand the person's profile, that is, to understand more about the person, their interests and motivation in general and specifically for learning the mentioned language (and of course their challenges with the language!), for what purpose they would like to use it, what is their current knowledge/level and what learning style would be best for them. Also, I usually work in such a way that I put a lot of emphasis on increasing the level of awareness and self-confidence related to the person’s use of the language itself (I am also a psychologist and I understand the importance of this very well), and I do this by focusing on the person talking a lot, allowing themselves to make a lot of mistakes if the fear of making mistakes is what usually inhibits their speech (and that they each time speak with less fear and fewer mistakes!), and that they really enjoy the process, and this is often achieved by using topics related to things that the person is really interested in and that are somehow relevant in their life. In the same way, I have always had very good results through practicing the use of the language in practical everyday situations that mean something to the person and that are directly relevant to their lives.
