About Me
Many students struggles to express themselves in English because they have never really had a chance to explore and speak about their own thoughts, feelings, and opinions in English with someone. Most schools don't have the resources for this, and most native speakers don't have the time to give you. The need or desire to express your thoughts, feelings, and opinions with someone is what motivates people to improve in speaking, just as much so as listening and reading are motivated by the need or desire to understand people and the world around you.
In these lessons we will focus on speaking about your thoughts, feelings, and opinions, or personalizing your language. I will give you feedback as well as model how to speak about thoughts, feelings, and opinions. Doing this, in my experience, always raises the level of confidence, fluency, accuracy, and pronunciation in students who complete the lessons.
You might be asking yourself, why should I pay a teacher to help me with this? Well, you could try and just speak to yourself, but that's boring and unlikely to happen, and even if you did do that you wouldn't know if you were understandable, furthermore you would have no one to model your speaking after.
Most importantly though, please check if you can see a free time on my calendar for you to routinely schedule lessons, you may need to check 2-3 weeks in advance.

Personally:
I'm 36, and I live with my fiancรฉe and her 11 year old daughter near Orlando, Florida in the USA. I enjoy cooking, gardening, being in nature, and going on cruises. I used to surf in my 20s, but now I stay closer to the shore and my family on beach days.
The Reason for My Prices:
The legal minimum wage in Florida is currently $12 USD per hour. - www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/minimum-wage/state#fl - Verbling requires me to pay a 15% commission on every lesson I teach. Verbling also automatically offers discounts of 3%, 6%, and 9% on lesson packages, and this lowers the pay I receive. So if you bought a package of 20 lessons, I actually have to bill you $15.79 USD per lesson to receive the $12 USD minimum wage per hour. (15.79*0.24= 3.79, 15.79 - 3.79 =12).
Finally, consider my qualifications as well, in addition to having a US and UK government authorized TEFL certificate (www.i-to-i.com/tefl-courses/accredited.html), I graduated from the University of Central Florida in Orlando, which is ranked 124th out of 439 national universities in the US www.usnews.com/best-colleges/ucf-3954/overall-rankings.

My trial lessons
In the trial lesson, students will be asked to talk about their interests and goals as well as when they will regularly take lessons. Students should think about when they can regularly schedule their lessons before coming to the trial lesson.
