Students from all over the world are welcome with preference to older teenagers and adults. Note: my time zone is the Central European Summer Time zone. Therefore, check if your preferred lesson time falls into the 8:00 AM to 23:00PM time span of CEST.

Think about what you need English for, shape that idea with as many details as possible (your purpose of learning, goal to achieve, the amount of time needed, etc.), then talk to me. English, like any other language, can take unimaginable purposes, directions and can always offer something new to learn. Since our, human needs expand and constantly bring out new ideas, language follows the same path, therefore be as specific as possible when contacting me.

Unless certain skills need to be developed, like writing, I use a communicative approach which means we talk as much as possible (you will have to speak more than me) with the aid of visual materials as the dominant ones, followed by listening and reading resources.

I will test you to see your level. That is the starting point A. You will tell me which is point B (your goal or destination). My task is to take you from point A to point B. Yours is to adhere to what I ask you to do. See you at the final point!

Note: When you want to learn English and finish with it once and for all, think again. Remember your mother tongue and be honest with yourself how well do you know it. How do you express your ideas, feelings, and thoughts in the language you are raised with? Are you as eloquent as you are supposed to be? When is the last time you read a book? Can you ever stop developing your native language skills? The same goes for English.
