Mis lecciones
Lecciones privadas
La forma mƔs eficaz de aprender un idioma es con clases particulares. Estos se adaptan a sus necesidades individuales y estilo de aprendizaje, y puedo trabajar con usted en sus metas personales. Aprender inglƩs de esta manera es intenso, pero verƔs grandes mejoras con tu arduo trabajo y mi apoyo. Todas mis lecciones estƔn disponibles como lecciones privadas.
Lecciones grupales
Aprender en un grupo pequeƱo es menos eficiente que tener lecciones privadas, pero le brinda ventajas como practicar con otros, compartir ideas, dividir el costo y conocer gente nueva. Limito el tamaƱo de los grupos a 4 personas en lĆnea (8 si es cara a cara). Me asegurarĆ© de que todos tengan la oportunidad de contribuir por igual (que nadie domine ni se quede callado). Por favor contĆ”cteme si estĆ” interesado en lecciones grupales.
ĀæEn quĆ© consiste una lecciĆ³n tĆpica?
ā
Las lecciones se adaptan a ti y puedo ser flexible con el estilo y el mƩtodo de enseƱanza.
Sin embargo, el formato habitual es:
- 10-15 minutos - objetivos de la lecciĆ³n y actividad de calentamiento (consiste en hablar sobre su semana o eventos recientes en las noticias. He descubierto que muchos estudiantes no se sienten seguros para tener una pequeƱa charla en un idioma extranjero, sin embargo, este es un clave para iniciar una conversaciĆ³n con los demĆ”s).
- 10-15 minutos: revisiĆ³n de la lecciĆ³n anterior (una oportunidad para que haga preguntas sobre su tarea y consolide lo que aprendiĆ³ en lecciones anteriores).
- 30-50 minutos: tema nuevo o continuaciĆ³n de la lecciĆ³n anterior (una oportunidad de aprender nuevas habilidades y enfocarse en un punto diferente del idioma).
- 5-10 minutos - conclusiĆ³n (una oportunidad para hacer preguntas finales, revisar los objetivos de las lecciones, discutir los planes para la prĆ³xima lecciĆ³n).
En cada lecciĆ³n, corregirĆ© cualquier error que pueda cometer y lo alentarĆ© a que se corrija a sĆ mismo. Si no hay muchos errores, te animarĆ© a usar diferentes expresiones y te enseƱarĆ© otras nuevas para que las incorpores cuando te comuniques en inglĆ©s. Ā”No te preocupes, no te juzgarĆ© y solo me reirĆ© si sabes por quĆ© es gracioso!

-
How do I book lessons?There are two ways to do this. We can spend 5 minutes after the lesson choosing a suitable day/time for the next lesson. You can book yourself in using my online booking schedule.
-
Can I book a lesson less than 24 hours beforehand?No, it's better to book with more notice than this to allow me to manage my schedule well. However, please email me and if I have availability, I will do my best to fit you in on the same day.
-
Can I cancel a lesson?Yes. Please let me know before 8.30am (UK time) of the day you want to cancel. If you do not let me know, you will be charged for the lesson.
-
What is your free consultation?Before you start lessons with me, I need to know what your level of English is and what your goals are. If you want online lessons, it will also allow me to check our connection. I will do this online with you, for 15 minutes. This is free.
-
What does a typical lesson consist of?The lessons are tailored to suit you, and I can be flexible with the style and teaching method. However, the usual format is: - 10-15 mins - lesson aims andwarm up activity (consists of talking about your week, or recent events in the news. I have found that many students aren't confident in making small talk in a foreign language, yet this is a key way to start a conversation with others). - 10-15 mins - review of the previous lesson (a chance for you to ask questions about your homework, and to consolidate what we learnt in previous lessons). - 30-50 mins - new topic or follow on from previous lesson (a chance to learn new skills and focus on a different point of the language). - 5-10 mins - conclusion (an opportunity to ask any final questions, review the aims of the lessons, discuss plans for the next lesson). In each lesson, I will correct any mistakes you might make, and encourage you to correct yourself. If there are not many mistakes, I will encourage you to use different expressions, and teach you new ones to incorporate when communicating in English. Don't worry, I won't judge you, and I will only laugh if you know why it's funny!
-
How do online lessons work?We will use Google Meet (I will help you set this up if you're not familiar with it). I will send you an invite, and you just need to click on that invite and meet me online. I may share my screen with you during lessons. Please take notes yourself during the online lessons, as this helps you learn. I will also upload notes and resources on a shared Google Drive folder after the lesson. If you want to print anything before the lesson, please let me know 24 hours in advance so I can send you the notes/resources.
-
How do face to face lessons work?I will meet you in either a coffee shop, or an office space (Central or North London). If you want to meet elsewhere, please contact me. We will use resources that I have prepared, or we can use your own resources if you prefer. I will charge a little bit extra for face to face lessons to cover my travel expenses - this is already calculated in the cost when you select 'face to face' on the booking page.
-
Do you use a camera in online lessons?Yes. We will both use cameras. I believe lessons are better when we can see each other. If this is a problem for you, please let me know.
-
How do I access the lesson materials after a class?I will create a shared Google Drive folder. There, I will save all your lesson materials. This means you can access all of your documents online.
-
What do I do if Iām late?I will wait for 15 minutes. If you are still not there, and have not contacted me, I will cancel the lesson but you will still be charged for the whole lesson. Lessons will start and finish at the agreed times, even if you are late. This is because I have a busy diary, and if we finish late, other students will start late, which is not fair.
-
How can I pay for lessons?There are 2 ways to pay: Pay with your credit or debit card Pay with your Paypal account To buy lessons, go to the 'Book a lesson' page. Click on the type of lesson (face to face or online) that you want, then choose the lesson package you want to buy.
-
Can I get a refund?No. You can re-arrange lessons but I can not issue refunds, sorry. If you cancel after 8.30am (UK time) of the day of your lesson, you will be charged for the lesson.
