I have over 10 years of experience in teaching English as a foreign language both independently and in International Academies for the most diversified purposes: International Exams (Cambridge, TOEFL, IELTS), Business (Interviews, Work Presentations), Erasmus, Exchange, and other Travel/ Leisure Activities, Translation (Simultaneous or of Documents: Thesis, Articles, etc). Classes are dynamic and versatile with a methodological approach to Grammar, Oral and Written Comprehension and Production, Informal Language Use and Vocabulary, Periodical Presentations, and Mock Tests. Classes are designed specifically to assist the students' lifestyles and interests including the amount/absence of Homework, personalized material, and pace.

My goal is to provide enjoyable learning experiences to my students. I strive to provide an environment which cultivates a culture of confidence, mutual respect, promotion of diversity and equal opportunities. I believe that every student learns in a different way. Therefore I practise a learner-centred approach where my students are strongly encouraged to participate actively in their own learning process.

Explore Public Speaking through... Intonation and Melody When training for a presentation, decide which words and passages deserve extra attention and increase the tone to emphasize these points. If something sounds exaggerated or false, your audience can turn against you. Volume A speech is not ordinary conversation, and a presenter can’t convey passion and enthusiasm if the words are delivered softly. Clarity Don’t forget to articulate every word, to ensure clarity on your part and understanding on the part of the audience. Emphasis Even in the same sentence, emphasizing different words can change the focus of a message. Changing emphasis can alter meaning and/or implication. Pauses when pauses are placed in strategic spots in a speech, they can make the difference between a good and an excellent presentation. There are several purposes for which pauses can be used: to give listeners a chance to absorb something that’s just been said; to generate expectations about something that’s going to be said... Pacing & Tone If you often get negative feedback about the faster or slower delivery of your speeches, practice delivering a speech sometimes faster and sometimes slower, so you can arrive at a natural pace.
