Profile
I am Steve, from central England. I have a strong humanities background, having studied history, whilst I also completed a Masters degree in English Language Teaching from 2009. I have been teaching English for over ten years. I now tutor on Skype. In 2010, I began to study for a Masters in English Language Teaching. The knowledge I gained from this course has certainly helped me to make students more fluent in a shorter space of time. As for my beliefs as a language teacher, it is important to help students personalise language and phrases because too many language learners learn words and collocations without any contextual input. It is much more rewarding to learn words and collocations in personalised sentences as these sentences can be reproduced in future conversations if your spaced repetition programme is flexible enough. I will explain the language learning techniques which helped me to learn Polish and Serbian. I now offer complete language immersion classes with self-created articles. These contain the natural language and bits of grammar which are so often missing in coursebooks. I have recorded these articles so you can listen to them. My lessons are always engaging and tailored to the students' needs and interests. I always send a lesson review after each lesson with new vocabulary, grammar points and pronunciation issues. See you all soon

I was happy with Steve's understanding the concept of verbal aspect in serbian. He is willing to learn, he asks questions, he is not a passive listener during the lesson and it was a pleasure having him as a student. I am looking foreward to another lesson.

    Dear Luca,

    You may find my article useful:

    https://www.italki.com/article/127/English-Fluency-Through-Personalising-Phrases-And-Collocations

    I think the key thing is to make sentences with target words and to make sure that these sentences are personalised (about you and your life). By all means, use different fonts and colours in your word table as visualisation is also a key part of the vocabulary learning process.

    Good luck!

    Putovanja Mnogo volim da putujem da vidim nova mesta i da se slikam. Pravim fotografije i čuvam ih. Ja sam bio van Evrope samo jedan put. U 2008. godina, imao sam sreće da putujem po Americi na šest nedelja. Da sam imao vreme, ja bih voleo da idem u Memphis i u Nashville. Nažalost, nisam ispunio moj san. Bio sam u možda dvadeset pet zemalja u Evropi. Više volim da izbegnem pretrpane gradove, pa na ovakav način mogu da iskusim pravu kulturu u selima ili u manjim gradovima. Na primer, ja sam posetio osam do devet mesta u Bosni, i ne samo u popularnim lokacijama kao Sarajevo i Mostar.

    Let's Learn English Grammar Incidentally!
    Throughout primary and secondary school, and even later at private language schools, grammar is forced upon students in a very prescriptive way. It seems to be the passion of most curriculum managers and language school directors to force a structural syllabus upon teachers.

    Posle godinu učenje srpskog jezika Učim srpski jezik već trinaest meseci. Moram da priznam da nije bilo tako teško naučiti kako razgovarati na srpskom jer stalno sam bio u kontaku sa jezikom. Isti je pravo za slušanje i razumevanje. Jednak, treba biti uporan i vredan kad je u pitanju pisanje i čitanje. Skoro nikad nisam pročitao nešto konkretno na srpskom, na primer neki članak u novinu. Svakog dana gledam televiziju i pišem neke korisne fraze u mom ličnom rečniku. Ne znam tačno sta znači biti tečan u jeziku ali ja samo želim da mislim manje o grešakama kad pričam.

    I agree with Ben and Timothy. The use of the word 'like' could and should be frowned upon. I certainly would not employ people who say 'like' every four seconds.
