English Classes in Houston, TX

English Tutor with a Bachelor of Arts in Literature My class offers a variety of ways to further your English abilities while helping build your confidence in the process. I am an easy-going and patient tutor who is passionate about the English language (especially writing). I also love to meet new people and chat. No matter what your goal is, I hope to be able to help you improve your English communication skills, whether they be written or conversational. I also like to have fun with my students: my class is a no-judgment zone. It is my goal to create an environment where students feel free to make mistakes and are not ashamed to be corrected.

Learn to speak with creative lessons: authentic materials + efficient progress + fun +deep thinking. I have seven years of experience teaching students of all ages. I am a successful language learner myself, so I understand the process and how to make it easier. My lessons include a mixture of hyper-focused work and fun. You will speak, speak, speak in every class! I believe that learning a language is as much about what you do outside of class as about what you do in class. To this end, I provide homework materials to work on outside of class, based on your needs and free time you can devote to English. This extra practice allows for more efficient lessons. I would describe myself as laid-back and serious at the same time. I like to have fun in lessons, but I also believe that we can get serious work done while laughing. I believe that the most important thing about learning a language is practice: Learning a language is a lot like exercise. To master it, you need targeted practice using language in context. My goal is for you to develop automatic fluency, where you can speak without pausing to think. My approach varies based on level and student needs. Lower-level students generally need more explicit grammar practice than higher-level students, whose classes often resemble a podcast conversation. At all levels, the goal is to master material to the point it becomes automatic: that way, when you need to use English, you can speak comfortably and without worrying about what to say next. Please choose Zoom as your lesson tool if possible, as it is my preferred platform.

Certified professional English teacher (CELTA, B.A.-English) and native speaker I really enjoy getting to know my students—not only in terms of their linguistic needs and capacities, but also as human beings with interests and experiences vastly different from my own who have a lot to teach me about life and about the world. I welcome diverse viewpoints and I appreciate honesty and humility. Humility is extremely important when you’re learning, because learning involves making mistakes. I know this can be intimidating, so I will always try to create a safe and familiar space in which you can feel comfortable taking risks and trying new things in English, knowing that if you do make a mistake, I can help you turn it into an excellent learning opportunity.

Super Welcoming for Chinese Beginners 😊 Over the past years, I've taught Chinese and English to thousands of students. Teaching Chinese to an American CEO was my most memorable teaching experiences. He was a beginner to Chinese when we started, but now he can communicate effectively with Chinese companies without needing a translator. I also taught English to middle school students. They were very engaged and excited in my class because they always paid a lot attention to either win a game or complete a task. I really enjoy teaching because I can see my students improvements with my help. As a languege learner myself, I believe that having fun in the learning process is very important to keep the motivation up and up.

It brings me immense satisfaction to not only facilitate language skill development but also gain insights into diverse cultures through my students. With nearly five years of teaching experience, I have honed my expertise in test preparation and conversational practice.

Language should be fun! I think it's important to try speaking, even if you make mistakes. Mistakes are the best way to learn, so I like to encourage students to speak and try to communicate their ideas through conversation. We can also use others tools--video, audio, etc. as you'd like!

To help you with these two things, after every lesson I will give you building block phrases and pronunciation tips to practice every day. Per imparare una nuova lingua ci vuole più di un'ora a settimana cosi sarei pronto ad aiutarti fuori dalle lezioni programmate... potresti mandarmi un messaggio quando vuoi per chiedere, ‘Giacomo, come si dice questo?’, o ‘come si esprime questa idea?’, o ‘cosa significa questo?’ (i dialoghi nei film sono particolarmente difficili) e cercherò di risponderti appena possibile.
