Learn English via Skype
The most effective and personal way possible!
Whether you are a complete beginner, or already use English at a professional level, together we can get the most out of your online private English lessons. Learn English via Skype and we will focus on your oral and written language skills in a way that is best for you.
No worries about not being good enough or holding the group back, no fear of making mistakes or being judged by anyone. Only a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and a empathic professional to take you by the hand and accompany you on your way to reaching the goal you have set for yourself.
How does learning English via Skype work?
You have a native speaker at your side who has 25 years of experience teaching English and learning languages.
In my lessons I focus on the “classics” like grammar and vocabulary, speaking and pronunciation – and if you wish – writing and reading. Mastering these skills is, however, not enough if you are a person who is shy or unconfident.
Is this you?
Do you sometimes not answer the phone just because you know the caller will speak in English instead of your native language?
Do you rather wait for them to send an email so you can avoid speaking and listening?
Have you ever taken the stairs instead of the elevator or eaten lunch at your desk only to avoid small talk with English speakers?
Do you feel like drawing a blank or suffering from acute brain fog if somebody spontaneously addresses you in English?
I have compiled some tips for you on how to overcome speech inhibitions. You are not alone with this problem, and I am happy to assist you in a stress-free, anxiety-free environment, and above all, without pressure to perform, to gradually reduce these fears step by step.
I have the tailor-made solution for you!
Together we will work on boosting your confidence and you will soon realize what a big load is taken off your shoulders when you no longer stress about speaking (= language coaching).
In our one-on-one lessons via Skype we will have all the time and patience we need. Every language learner brings his or her individual personality and learning experiences into the lessons and deserves a different approach. Therefore no group class can ever fulfil each person’s needs.
Individual lessons will let you get where you want to be much faster, as it’s all about YOU!
Learning English via Skype can be a fun and enjoyable experience, as you have the opportunity to interact with a friendly and empathic professional who is dedicated to helping you succeed. Many students find that they enjoy the convenience and flexibility of learning online, and that it helps them stay motivated and engaged in their language learning journey.
Flexibility and access from anywhere in the world
One great advantage of learning English via Skype or any other videoconferencing tool is that it allows you to learn from anywhere in the world.
All you need is a reliable internet connection and a computer or mobile device. This makes it especially convenient for those with busy schedules or who live in remote areas without access to in-person language classes.
The Chat-Box
I use the chat to write down all notes, errors, vocabulary, examples, etc. allowing you to focus only on the language. The chat history will not be deleted from your Skype account and you can always go back over the notes.
Some students choose to write their own vocabulary lists, others just read through the notes again and again. You decide, everything is and stays there for you.
It is also possible to send files and images through the chat. You can even choose to keep the chat closed during the lesson and only use it to revise again afterwards.
Materials
Should we need extra material, I will create a private shared folder for us. You are free to download the materials, work on them, print them and of course also upload any work you have done. Dropbox notifies you when new files have been added.
The days of searching through emails and attachments, or wondering whether you really sent them, are a thing of the past.
You will always find an abundance of extra materials in the shared folder so you can always find something to work on should you have spare time during the week. All documents and subfolders are clearly labeled, therefore you should have no problem at all quickly finding what you are looking for. I also never delete any files we have already worked on, I simply move them to a “Done”-folder so the Dropbox always stays neat and organised.
The Camera
You will discover that learning online (with or without a camera) is just like a personal face to face lesson. Only better, as you have the added benefit of having complete freedom over content, time and location.
If you choose to switch on your webcam, you will also be able to see my facial expression, lips and hand gestures. This helps you to understand even better.
Should you prefer not to activate your camera, it will be like having a real phone conversation when you can only rely on your listening skills to understand. If you need to do a lot of conference calls or regular phone calls in English, this would be excellent practice for you.
Your Goals
Should you have more ambitious goals or need to prove your current language level, I can help you prepare in our lessons for any test you may have to take: A general grammar exam, one of the advanced IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC or Cambridge Exams, a placement test, or any kind of oral examination or (job) interview.
Of course you can also focus on Business English, working on your email and presentation skills, building up your vocabulary. We can practice telephone conversations and role plays.
If you are a beginner, we will of course start with the basic vocabulary and grammar. I will encourage you to speak and feel confident using English. To learn English via Skype will be the perfect way for you to start and continue speaking English!
