What an individual lesson looks like

I create most materials myself. These examples show how a task is chosen, how we use it in conversation or writing, and how one lesson leads to the next.

What Students Say

"That's been 50 lessons, a great milestone to summarize. The overall experience is beyond any reproach, as I learned to speak confidently. Brandon's strong sense of empathy and gentle style of communication made even the very first lesson comfortable. His ability to keep conversations easy-going takes the pressure off, so you're not afraid of making mistakes. Brandon manages to optimize topics, workload, feedback, and entertainment to ensure that at any moment, I take the most out of it and don't burn out. He has the skills to intensely discuss any topic and make an ultra-practical lesson around it. Brandon is a highly well-educated person, a pleasant and witty conversationalist."
