Accent Training for Public Speaking, Presentation and/or Conversation for Students and Professionals. (Intermediate English required)

Hey there! I'm Jed, an experienced Interior Designer and overall creative professional. I have about 4 years of professional experience teaching students and training professionals when I was living in Thailand from 2017 to 2021.

For this course, I use a proven program that focuses on the vocal aspect of speaking English. You will learn the phonetics of different letter combinations, discussed with detail what to do with your mouth, tongue and breathing to be able to speak more clearly. Why does this work? Our tongues are muscles! And for non-native English speakers, we need to understand and practice to make proper sounds to speak English more clearly.

Please note, I will not teach grammar. The goal of this class is not to sound like a native speaking American or British, the goal is to speak English clearly with a neutral accent easily understandable by anybody.

What makes this course helpful to you as a student or a professional? Confidence! Being able to converse, speak and present in your university or professional presentations.

Previous students taught were native speakers of Chinese, Thai, Filipino, Arabic, Spanish and Italian.

Additional info about me: I am born and raised in the Philippines, lived in the US for 2 years, studied in Canada for 4 years, lived and worked in Thailand for 4 years and living in Barcelona, Spain for 2 years now! I went to an English speaking school my whole life and I consider myself in a native or bilingual level of English.

Why I do this: I am heart and soul a designer, but teaching is a very important part of my life, and I truly enjoy sharing experiences with people!

Extra information

It is not required, but carry a pen and paper if you want to take your own notes! Every end of our class I will send you a digital copy of the topic/lesson for that day.

Jed's accent training and public speaking course is an insightful learning experience. Engaging teaching style, personalized feedback, and emphasis on creating a supportive environment make the classes to not only productive but also enjoyable. Highly recommended!
The teacher is very professional and patient ~ the class is very relaxed and fun. The content of the class is very substantial. The teacher was very careful in correcting my pronunciation, and he would make sure that my pronunciation was accurate before moving on to the next part. I learned a lot from this class! It’s very helpful to me! I’m a chinese student and I need to take IELTS for my university and I think the class will help me with my speaking. Thanks again! ~ thanks again ✨
Hey there! I’m Jed, an experienced Interior Designer with more than 10 years of experience as an Interior Designer. I have successfully completed many Interior Design projects in Canada, Philippines, Thailand, Singapore and Europe. One of my most notable projects was featured in a known interior design magazine in Thailand in 2019. This course is a mentoring and coaching program for Interior Design students or to those who are thinking of studying Interior Design. My goal is to identify your strengths and help solidify your identity or personal aesthetic as an Interior Designer. Best for beginners or first to second year students struggling to find their signature style and for third or fourth year students who are looking to fine tune what they already have going on. I will teach you how to have great balance of creativity that can be easily and efficiently executed in real life settings. Why I do this: This is in honour of my former professor Joseph Geraghty (he's still alive), who shaped me to be the designer I am and taught me everything I know today.

Experiència de més de 20 anys donant classes d'anglès i català a grups reduïts d'ESO i Batxillerat i classes de repàs en el sector de les Humanitats. Doy clases de inglés desde hace muchos años. He impartido a grupos reducidos y a particulares de repaso (ESO y Bachillerato). Me desplazo. Busco estabilidad y continuidad para todo el curso. Enseñar es mi vocación.

Busco estabilidad y continuidad en Academia o similar para todo el curso y en verano. My name is Xavier. I was born in Barcelona... a long time ago. I grow up in this town, but now I live a bit far from here. I studied at the University of Barcelona and in Huddersfield (near Shefield, Halifax, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool,...not very far from York: quite nice places and better people), and I've been teaching Catalan, Spanish, Phillsofy, History and English for a long time...since I was 16. What happened? Very short, I promise: I was walking down the street two years ago, from just opposite this private school, and I thought myself: well, you might enter this place and see. I like English language very much... and the UK,... but I don' t have a poster of the Queen on my bedroom's wall. It was a sort of a blind date. And there she was: her smile, her diligence, effectiveness. Eva listened to me. And after two weeks she was texting me for a class. Please, Xavier, can you cover for some classes? And here I am. English Studio, Academy of English in Barcelona, where I used to be a teacher until Covid 19 knocked at the door of our lives, and teachers and students had to be at home.

Marquez
English - Grammar, Conversation and Cambridge Exam Prep
My style of teaching focuses on conversations based on everyday situations. I think that conversation, whether with beginners or with more advanced levels, is a very effective way of facing grammatical and pronunciation challenges. Each class is personalised to the needs and interests of the students. Along with grammar and conversation classes, I prepare students for official Cambridge exams. These classes are focused on understanding the format of the exam, the requirements and tips for passing each section.

Lucy
German Teacher from Native German - Master Student from Germany
...I could speak in 4 different languages with my room mate. Do I have your attention? :) I always like to joke and say that life is too short to learn German, but honestly it depends on the teacher you have and how much you enjoy the lessons! I think that as long as you feel good and motivated and have a person sitting next to you who says positive words to you, you can manage to expand your expertise in a short time With me, you have a friend with whom you can have a coffee or go to the beach in your free time. I am very open and communicative and want our lessons to be more than just dry theory. I bring my personality to the lessons so that it remains interesting and vibrant for both of us! We can meet in a Cafe / Restaurant in Barcelona, I am also open to online meetings. If you are interested in learning Chinese I can also help you! :)

Miquel
Comprehensive English: Conversation, grammar and reading comprehension
Normally the foreign language is learned in an unnatural way by focusing on grammar and writing, when in reality we know that a language is learned first by speaking and then by reading and writing. Just as young children do, remembering and associating. Learning to use and enjoy a language is the basis for learning to read and write later. With this inversion of the order of the factors, the learning of grammatical rules and spelling is not forgotten, but rather they can be learned more easily as soon as they begin to acquire oral skills.
