Hello and welcome;
You are taking an important step towards improving your English speaking ability. It is important that we speak together before we start, to see if we can work together as well as understand what areas you want to practice and improve.
You should be at least an intermediate level, a B1 or better and your grammar and sentence structure has to be good as well. If you are at a beginners level, unfortunately, I do not provide my services to that level.
You can book a 30-minute call with me by clicking on the blue button below.
The call can be through Zoom or WeChat. A video connection is preferred, but not necessary. If you would like to use WeChat, please send a connection request to me. My WeChat id is michaelw-can.
When we have agreed to work together and we have decided on how many sessions you want, I will send you a payment link. You can pay the session fees through PayPal, credit card through PayPal or Square or WeChat wallet. All session fees must be paid before the sessions begin.
Working Together
The sessions can be 30, 45 or 60-minutes in length. This will be agreed upon by both of us before the first session. Changes to the length of the upcoming session is possible prior to the actual session date and time.
We will agree on the session times and dates prior to the first session as well. Again, changes are possible prior to the scheduled date and time when agreed upon.
If you need to cancel a session you need to give me 24-hours advance notice. I will wait in the session for 10-minutes after the start time. If you fail to show up, I will cancel the session and mark it completed. There will be no refunds given if you fail to show and you have not informed me prior to the session date and time.
Session topics
The sessions will be a conversation format where we will talk about various topics. These topics can be suggested by either of us and can be based on the news, events at work or school or just general interest topics. No topic is off-limits for a discussion. Either of us can suggest a topic so it can be researched before the session.
If you are interested in improving your interview skills for a new position or school applications, this can be accomplished through the sessions as well.
If you want to practice for IELTS, TOEFL or any other language examination, we can talk about the program I have as well as the number of sessions that you need to take.
All of the sessions will be recorded by me and I will send you the audio file after the session.
During the session I will give you suggestions on improving your spoken English. I will correct you as required during the session.
