If you’re ready to grow your English skills in a supportive space, I’m here to help you shine! I frequently create customized lesson plans for my students. For example, I helped a pilot to ace his interview and get the job by role-playing the interview process and polishing his responses. Recently, I helped a student who now lives in the US to learn adjectives to describe how people look and their personality. We brought it to life by describing her family and the students and teachers in her school. I try to make lessons relatable to each student and give you exercises you can use in real life. Step away from the textbook! Let's swim together in the interesting sea of American English taught by a native speaker.

Teaching has been a passion of mine from a very early age. I love watching people benefit and change for the better due to the education they are receiving.

Certified ESL Teacher – Practical Fluency & Speaking for Adults & Kids Hey there, I’m Alex and I'm from the U.S. I’ve spent the last eight years teaching English in China, Spain, and now online. My years abroad have been some of the most meaningful experiences of my life, and they’ve shaped how I connect with my students and with others. At my core, I’ve always been and still am a traveler and history lover who enjoys discovering new places and learning about the world.

We’ll focus on whatever you want to improve and on what helps you feel comfortable and confident when speaking. I like to base our classes on real-life conversations, where we build vocabulary and fluency in a natural way. I’ll also help you strenghten your pronunciation and grammar as we talk.

I have a lot of experience in teaching and tutoring. In Israel I taught in elementary school for two years and when I moved to the states I taught in a Hebrew school, for a few years, all ages as well as private lessons, and tutoring people before Hebrew exams.

I am very patient with my students and won't rest until they will succeed. I believe I can reach my students with my humor and doing the best I can to make the lessons fun.

Graduate from two top world universities with over 10 years of experience Hi everyone, I’m Brian McFadden: I'm 38 and have two BA degrees from UC Berkeley in German and Philosophy and I have a masters degree in Classical Languages (Ancient Greek and Latin) from the University of Chicago. I was born and raised in Southern California and am a native speaker of English. I studied Spanish, German, Latin, and Ancient Greek in college. I have been a language tutor for over ten years and have had students from a variety of ages and backgrounds. I’m interested in incorporating linguistics and precise definitions into my lessons in order to have my students learn their target language comprehensively and easily. My teaching mostly involves giving my students a handful of words from the target language and having them use those words to speak in complete sentences. We then gradually build on these sentences by adding new words and grammatical concepts throughout the lesson. Additionally, I incorporate listening, reading, and writing through audio clips and music, reading quotes from famous authors, and writing exercises.
