About Neil DenToom:

​Hello!

I am truly passionate about languages and helping students to open doors in their lives so I would like to introduce myself to work together to reach your goals!

As a Canadian native English speaker with a professional engineering background and years of teaching experience, I have worked with countless amazing professionals, students, travellers, and recent immigrants and have seen remarkable improvements in their communication. My travels throughout nearly 50 countries and my own goals learning languages have completely ignited my passion for languages, culture, and teaching others.

Some of my background and credentials include:
- Native English speaker
- Canadian
- 1,000+ hours of teaching
- 150+ students taught online
- Experience teaching English, business English, conversations, interview skills, IELTS preparation, presentation skills, small groups, complete beginners (in Spanish and French), and advanced professionals to achieve native fluency as I mention in my YouTube video introduction: youtu.be/_EhpKiITmBE 
- 5.0 rating on Preply from over 40 students: preply.com/en/tutor/1144453/
- Bachelor of Civil Engineering from McGill University in Canada
- Intermediate Spanish and French and beginner Portuguese and Czech
- 8 years of professional work experience as an Engineer, Project Manager, and more

My teaching strategies naturally vary based on the students' needs and preferences, but my usual teaching philosophies are:
- Learning should be enjoyable. Provide an environment where students feel relaxed and comfortable to communicate.
- Confidence is key. Many obstacles with speaking a foreign language are with confidence more than technical language skills, so work on building their confidence.
- Make lessons practical and useful with actual conversations. Focus on the phrases, words, and structures that students will use the most, then progressively build on it.
- Listen to the students. They know what works for them, what they're struggling with, and how a tutor can help them the most.

More than what I can say about myself, what my students have said in their reviews is the most important:
"Now I'm way more confident when speaking English, and Neil is definitely part of it."
"I became more confident and learned a great deal in a short period of time"
"He really focuses on my goals and personalizes my classes accordingly."

I strongly believe that the right people make the biggest difference, so I would love the opportunity to work with you and to help you improve, advance your career, and build your future.

Beyond teaching languages, I have a variety of skills in business development, sales, math and science education, analyzing data, marketing, grant applications, proposals, project management, and more that I would be pleased to talk more about.

I hope that my brief introduction here has interested you in speaking with me to find out more about how we can work together.

When would you like to get in touch and start working together?

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. I look forward to meeting!

All the best,

Neil DenToom
