KIRSTYN

South Africa

I've been teaching English since 2018 to wonderful professionals from all around the world, and I love helping people reach their fluency goals. My classes are tailored to each student's needs and focus on eliciting as much speaking as possible so that students increase their confidence quickly. Informed by my degree in Linguistics, this approach awakens passive vocabulary, brings awareness to common mistakes and vocabulary gaps, and builds motor memory for better pronunciation. I am also a social entrepreneur, running a fundraising platform for nonprofits in my home country, South Africa.

BARBARA

USA

Teaching English places one on a cultural frequency, which I relish; often times my experience of a country is by way of a food recipe. To engage one’s food palate is as important to me as one’s language palate. To date, I’ve taught students ages 4-60, in 36 countries and provinces. I highlight critical thinking, creativity, and confidence. My students have written and illustrated books, coaching manuals, designed fashion wear, and built electric cars. As a wordsmith, I resonate with the words of writer Joseph Conrad: “Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.”

Booking online classes with a native English teacher

Learning English with a native teacher is one of the most effective solutions to master the language. Native instructors have an innate understanding of the nuances, idioms and cultural references that non-native teachers might not fully grasp.
By booking online classes with a native speaker, you expose yourself to real-world English, helping you develop a natural-sounding accent, refine your listening skills and improve your comprehension.
Additionally, taking online English classes with native speakers ensures that you are learning the most up-to-date usage of the language. Native teachers naturally use correct grammar, sentence structure and expressions, helping you avoid common mistakes.

Improve your pronunciation and fluency with a native English instructor

One of the greatest benefits of learning from a native English instructor is the ability to improve pronunciation and fluency naturally. They have an intuitive understanding of phonetics, stress patterns and intonation, which are crucial for sounding natural.
Through guided practice, listening exercises, and real-time correction, native teachers can help you speak English more clearly and confidently. This is particularly important for learners who struggle with difficult sounds that may not exist in their native language, such as the “th” sound in words like “this” and “thought.”
A native English teacher helps you build fluency by encouraging spontaneous conversation, correcting mistakes in real-time and exposing you to idiomatic expressions. Taking regular classes with a native English teacher allows you to think in English rather than translating from your native language, making your speech more fluid and effortless.

Personalized lessons tailored to your needs

At Break Into English, every student has unique goals, strengths and areas for improvement, which is why personalized lessons are effective. Whether you are preparing for an exam or improving business English, a native teacher can tailor the lessons specifically to your needs.
This means you won’t waste time on irrelevant topics but will instead focus on areas that will bring the most improvement.
Some students learn best through structured grammar exercises, while others thrive in conversation-based lessons. By choosing Break Into English online classes, you can benefit from a customized learning plan that is designed to maximize your progress.

How long will it take to improve your skills?

The time it takes to improve your English skills depends on several factors, including your current level, learning consistency and your learning plan.
If you practice regularly with a native English teacher, you can see progress in as little as a few weeks for conversational skills, while achieving full fluency may take several months or even years. Personalized lessons with a native English instructor help accelerate learning by focusing on your specific needs.

How can you know and check your language level ?

Before starting your journey to fluency, it’s essential to assess your current English level. You can start by booking a free trial lesson with one of our native English teachers. They will evaluate your speaking, listening, reading and writing skills, in order tailor lessons accordingly.

How to choose the best English native teacher for you?

Finding the right native English teacher is crucial for an effective learning experience. Consider factors such as their teaching experience, their specialization (business, exam preparation, conversational English) and their teaching style.
You can start by browsing the Break Into English teacher profiles, check their country and additional information about them. This will help you find out if the instructor matches your learning goals and personality.
The main native English-speaking countries include the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Ireland and New Zealand. Additionally, there are countries such as South Africa, India and Singapore, where English is an official language and plays a crucial role in government and media.
Each of these countries has its own distinct accent, vocabulary and cultural influences.. Whether for travel, work or studies, learning English opens the door to countless opportunities.

Track your progress and improve with native teachers

Improving your English is a continuous journey and tracking your progress is essential. A native English instructor will provide personalized feedback, highlight your areas of improvement and adjust lessons to your evolving needs. Regular self-evaluations and practical exercises will help you stay motivated!
