What ourcustomers say
Mr. van Wyk provides high quality English classes that I was looking forward to come to every single week.
I did not only enjoy the atmosphere in the class, but also seeing my progression as time went on.
He is very engaging with the customers to make sure nobody in class gets left behind.
I can highly recommend Mr. van Wyk to anybody who pursues optimizing.
Zu dem Punkt Methodik möchte ich noch folgendes hinzufügen.
Da ich vom Typ her ein praxisbezogener Mensch bin und das typische lernen von Sprachen über Bücher ich nicht mag,
fehlt es mir nicht einfach, verständlich zu lernen. Kurz gesagt; ich lerne am besten und effektivsten wenn ich im Land der zu
lernenden Sprache lebe und die Sprache täglich praktiziere und handiere. Ich mag keine Bücher, sprich Theory.
Mein erstes Ziel war und ist es, meine Kommunikationsfähigkeiten in englischer Sprache zu verbessern und mich Wohler zu fühlen im Gespräch mit englischsprechenden Arbeitskollegen. Dieses Ziel wird durch die individuelle Betreuung und den entsprechenden Fokus im Englischunterricht sichergestellt. Zweites Ziel / zweiter Fokus ist die Verwendung der korrekten Grammatik. Darauf wird im Unterricht immer wieder eingegangen. Zwischendurch werden auch individuelle Grammatikstunden eingeschoben.
