Lesson Pack Details

This is a 6-lesson pack. You will be issued 5 “coupons” when the first request is confirmed. You will be able to use these coupons for subsequent requests in the pack. Please note that all requests related to this pack must be taken within 20 days of the first lesson date.

Lessons should generally be booked chronologically, meaning that the second lesson should be booked after the first, and so on.

Description

Lessons will be based on different exercises to improve speaking, listening and reading skills. But how?

Conversation and listening: the first objective is to train the ears to listen carefully to how words and phrases are said, up to the tone, the rhythm, the intonation. For this reason, we will talk in English about topics that interest you most. I advise you to use as many words as possible to convey your point of view and listen carefully to the other person’s reasoning in order to be able to respond effectively.
Passive listening is however very important to help you learn naturally how to set a speech and intonation; the second objective is to improve your pronunciation resulting in greater verbal fluency. It is at this time that you begin to become more critical of your pronunciation and you begin to notice your accent. Phonetics is one of the biggest challenges of English. There are some basic rules that every English student should master. So, we will practice learning all the specific sounds: we will start reading some words together. Going forward we will read words that have similar sounds and words that have the same written form but different pronunciation.
In addition, we will watch videos of the different topics covered during the conversation to discuss them together. We will listen to music: it will be a way to sharpen the language, look for synonyms and perfect grammar,...
There are many songs from the past that can help you remember sentences and learn how to use them spontaneously in conversations. An example: would you like to learn to use will when you make a promise? Think about it and you will see how many songs come to mind (some clues: Whitney Houston, Randy Crawford...)


Reading: we will read together books, novels, newspaper articles, poems,...
I use only original sources in English. I’ll give you more time to read, so I’ll check your fluency, intonation, pronunciation, and help you improve them. This is a complete lesson where you can improve your reading, grammar and conversation skills. The reading should be done by focusing on the correct pronunciation of words, the construction of sentences and any ways of saying or unknown verbal expressions.

Finally, you may want to take a pre-test before the final test to become familiar with the test process.
