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!

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.

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.

English - Grammar, Conversation and Cambridge Exam PrepMy 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.

English -and Spanish for foreigners A1-B2 for teenagers, adults and seniorsLearning English and Spanish is of vital importance for students, professionals and tourists. As a student of English and Spanish you must know, learn and master basic vocabulary at levels A1-A2 since it will depend on this whether you can understand and communicate in these languages.
As a student of English and Spanish at levels B1-B2, you will need to know more complex vocabulary and expressions to effectively improve your speaking and writing skills on different academic and non-academic topics. At these levels the aim is for students to be more autonomous in their learning and to be able to communicate with more security and fluency. I have prepared this course as a practical guide in learning English and Spanish for students and professionals.
You will learn vocabulary, expressions used in different communicative contexts, and develop and improve your listening, speaking, reading and writing skills naturally with the best language learning methodologies.

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 comprehensionNormally 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.

Languages What a Passion. Language class: ITALIAN, SPANISH, PORTUGUESE, ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN. We learn by having fun!ENGLISH
Do you want to learn Spanish? Do you want to improve your English? Do you dream of learning Italian? Have French and Portuguese always intrigued you? Does the German seem an insurmountable obstacle?
Then you're in the right place!
I offer lessons in each of the aforementioned languages to anyone who wishes to learn them: face-to-face (Barcelona), or online.
Classes will be customized to what you want:
Do you want to enrich your vocabulary? Then we will focus on conversation and dialogue.
Do you want to focus on grammar, spelling, tenses and verbs? Then the class will be more technical and based on a deeper knowledge of the dynamics of the language.
In short, each lesson will be adapted to your needs and what are your goals and objectives in relation to what you want to learn of a particular language.
So what are you waiting for? Italian, Spanish, English, Portuguese, French and German await you!
Thank you!

Gain Confidence Speaking English with a Native English Teacher!The focus of this class is to give the students the tools they need to speak the English language with confidence and fluidity. It aims to attend to the responses of the question:
"What are my weaknesses when I try to communicate in English?"
My goal is to provide challenging, interactive and FUN lessons and activities that all attend to the student's particular experiences and needs. Some of the students I have had the pleasure to work with include:
- Doctors who travel internationally for work
- Students needing a tutor for the Cambridge exams
- Individuals who do public speaking.
- Small companies and start ups who do business abroad
- Adults who simply want to improve grammar
I assign homework activities and periodic progress reports via Google Docs. We utilize audio/visual and reading material found online, so having a smartphone or tablet in class is helpful, but not required.
If you want to get speaking NOW then this class may be
