I’ve always loved having in depth 1 on 1 conversations with people so teaching private English conversation classes comes naturally to me.  Since I’ve been teaching, I have noticed the pros and cons of different kinds of teachers that teach privately. The biggest problem is most teachers focus on lecturing the students from a textbook instead of giving the students a chance to actually speak.  If a student doesn’t want to talk much then a bigger English class would be better suited for them. I make sure each that each lesson is on a different topic so we don’t run out of things to say or vocabulary words to learn. Allowing students to choose their own conversation topics and prepare questions has helped many students with leading conversations in the real world.  For intermediate learners it can be easy to answer basic questions from the teacher, but it can be a challenge when they have to start asking the questions and leading conversations. My classes help prepare students be more confident in asking questions in the real world. So if you’re an intermediate level English speaker who enjoys having conversations about any topic then sign up for a free English learning action plan!
