Series Details

About

This series aims at improving your speaking skills and scores in proficiency exams such as the TOEFL and DET. We will review English fundamentals and have conversation sessions every week on a range of different topics (material for the study will be provided). We will review grammar rules and solve exercises that might be useful for those taking English proficiency exams by practicing your writing and comprehension skills. We will watch videos, read articles, and share our ideas in conversation classes. As most of this series is composed of conversation classes, it is expected that students have a working mic. Cameras are recommended but not mandatory. Feel free to skip grammar classes you don't need, but try to participate in all debate sessions.

Tutor Qualifications

I have been a volunteer English Teacher for the past year and have helped over 20 students improve their conversation skills and proficiency scores in exams such as the DET and TOEFL.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Feel free to skip grammar lessons you feel no need to attend, but please do not miss more than two conversation sessions.
