Hi, I'm Max! English tutor on AmazingTalker with 14 years of experience. I can teach you English in English, French, Spanish and in German! I've got certification in English Proficiency (CPE) from the University of Cambridge, but most importantly I have 14 years of experience teaching English, I've passed all Cambridge exams, and have prepared more than 5000 students for all English international exams: for work, job interviews for school and simply for life and family. Furthermore, I have taught English since 2008 in 3 different countries: Germany, Argentina and Indonesia.
*** Informal Tutoring ***
This continuous training is for all students and levels.
We'll TALK a lot, correct a diary and e-mails, and have a super solid understanding of grammar and style.
You are welcome to ask me any questions about English and Amercan language/culture at any level. All lessons will be customized according to the student's needs/goals.
*** ENGLISH for TOEFL / FCE ***
If you have already studied some intermediate English (equivalent of having finished B1) and your goal is to pass the TOEFL or FCE this is the right course for you.
We will study speaking, writing, vocabulary, grammar, reading and listening for TEOFL / FCE We will take a look at a little bit of each of these components every lesson to learn upper intermediate and advance English in a balanced fashion.
Students typically spend 40-120 hours to complete this course. By the end of the book, you will be ready to present the TOEFL or the Cambridge FCE.
All the courses can be adjusted according to the students' need.
*** English for total Beginners ***
If you have never studied English or have studied very little, this is the right choice for you. We will learn the basic questions and answers, rules about pronunciation and construction of sentences, and basic grammar to be able to survive speaking English! I strongly recommend all beginners to start with this course, as English grammar is quite particular; it's a good idea to give yourself some time to familiarize yourself with it without the pressure of complex subjects.
Students typically spend 20-60 hours to complete this course.
All the courses can be adjusted according to the students' need.
*** English for WORK and BUSINESS ***
The lesson structure:
1/3 of the lesson: We choose a work situation, and we solve it in English. Notes are saved on a GoogleDocs. These situations are planned with the student and can be taken from a professional diary in English (5 sentences a day written by the student).
1/3 of the lesson: we correct e-mails and a professional diary in English. If the student is preparing for a job interview, we correct the answers written by the student and train them.
1/3 of the lesson: we expand the vocabulary using videos, texts and audios and train the grammar specifically.
The described structure is applied and adapted to your daily work routine or to skills you need to acquire. We practice job interviews, play roles and simulated team interactions. In the second section, we correct a professional diary and presentations. In the third section we explore new challenges and comment on documents, videos and audios.
*** English for Cambridge CPE ***
If you have already studied beginner's level and intermediate English (B1 or B2) and your goal is to pass the Cambridge Certificate of Proficiency in English (CPE, C1/C2) this is the right course for you.
We will train English expression, vocabulary, grammar, reading and listening. We will take a look at one of these components in every lesson to learn upper intermediate and advanced English in a balanced fashion.
Students typically spend 50-150 hours to complete this course. By the end of the book, you will be ready to present the Cambridge CPE.
All the courses can be adjusted according to the students' need.
*** English for KIDS and TEENS ***
If you are 8-17 years old or your child is, and the student needs a very solid English foundation for school or for life, this is the right course for you. I can explain in Spanish, French or German if needed!
We will engage in all typical situations of life as a child and a young student and follow specialized, specific textbooks designed for young students.
We'll also play games and watch videos together, also from my own Youtube Channel "Language Motivator". You'll have a lot of fun learning English in my course, I promise!
I will answer all the questions the student sends me between lessons, so the student doesn't need to wait for the next lesson to ask, and I'll reply within a day. I also have a YouTube channel where I explain many of the problems and aspects of the grammar, "Language Motivator".
14 years of experience allow me to offer a very wide array of methods and tools. I've worked with more than 5000 students of all ages, levels, and backgrounds.
I've taught teenagers, younger adults and seniors, for work, for college or school, for life in general, to communicate with their families. There is nothing I can't teach about the language.
May I help you make progress in English? It would be an immense pleasure to be able to work with you.
