Hi, I'm an experienced English Coach who specializes in Business English, Accent reduction and developing confidence and fluency in spoken, written and aural comprehension. I've been teaching English for 10 years both to individuals and groups. I have obtained the highly regarded Cambridge CELTA teaching qualification and also have lots of experience teaching people from different backgrounds and nationalities. I believe that speaking is the foundation for any language and that developing confidence and fluency in English are essential parts of the learning process. I have great experience in helping students reduce their accent and have assisted many students in developing a more natural and fluid way of speaking, enabling students to deliver successful presentations and enhance communication with both clients and colleagues. The sessions have a strong focus on encouraging students to use English effectively in order to build student confidence, as one of the great hindrances to acquiring a second language is confidence. I lived in Spain for 13 years and speak Spanish fluently. I currently live in Berlin. I love teaching English and learning new things about languages every day. When I'm not teaching, I like to spend time cooking, gardening, doing sports such as football, cycling, and volunteering in my neighborhood. Further I've started to learn German. I'm looking forward to meeting you.
