Hiya! My name is Rob, and I am from California.
I moved to Europe after graduating high school in California and started working as an English teacher. I have worked for private language schools, state-run public schools, and taught online with different companies. I have encountered all levels of students and worked with different age groups. I am flexible in my approach to teaching English and work with my students to find the best mode of cooperation. I have a few approaches to my lessons:
-One-to-one specific lessons – I teach individual lessons and make the classes as specific to each student as possible. I work on their weaknesses and stick to topics that are relevant to them.
-Organic lessons – I have a general plan and certain things that I want to cover for each student, but I go into each lesson with an open mind and let the lesson take its own course.
-Conversational English – I focus on conversational English and get my students to use their English. I introduce real, engaging, and relevant materials before, during, and after the lesson.
-Repetition – I repeat things that we have learned in the past by using different conversations and resources.
-Language coach – I’m a language coach and not just a teacher of English. I motivate, inspire, and guide my students on their own learning path, recommending self-learning methods that produce real progress.
My time in Prague has helped me learn an intermediate level of Czech which can be used to help you in the classroom.

Hobbies: My interests include houseplants (of which I have many), traveling, social sciences, culture, contemporary issues, and so much more. I am a student of humanities at Charles University in Prague, which allows me to constantly build my lesson content and add interesting perspectives to language learning.
