I could add value to your ability to express yourself naturally. What you can expect from my lessons is to overcome any fear of speaking by fun methods to develop your personal talent. I've taught Theater in English Language and it has been successful for everyone, also for the most shy. Inspired by Shakespeare, I imagined a theater that could amaze and bring students closer to a world that is often considered so far away and that many young people still consider “boring”. Shakespeare, in addition to being one of the greatest writers of all time, is important as he invented many words that were later used in modern English. He used a simple but elegant language, rich in aphorisms, metaphors and rhetorical figures, monologues and dialogues, words and syntax that were decidedly modern for those times. The  use of English and Shakespeare idioms will help and inspire you to express spontaneously and creatively as protagonist of your learning and I will adapt to your style and  level.
