About al klimek

I have a Bachelor of Science from SJSU of California in Law & History.Practically I have been working with non native English speakers for twenty-five years. I had helped build and manage the 'craziest'(And fun) international guest house for European backpackers in the US (The European Guest House- located in San Francisco, Cal.)Later set up a Spanish school & travel program in Guatemala. I have done archaeological tours around Israel & Egypt with groups from around the world. I have taught English in Japan and have learned five foreign languages. Today I teach private English classes online and do tours of NYC. In all of my experiences I have come to see that 'confidence' to speak another language is, possibly the most important element to really speaking a foreign language. Thereby, my classes are always a mix of- getting the basics of English and building on top of what you already know- and then exercising your needs to grow & expand in a fun and exciting manner. It is my goal to show you that you too CAN do allot more than you imagine and feel comfortable in speaking English.

How I teach:
With the advent of skype online teaching has taken a 'Better step back' to the traditional interactive teacher- student relationship. I know that the best possible way to teach anything is to appreciate who are my student's, what they are looking for and How can I best instruct and share with them. .
