Xavier E.
Spanish Language Tutor
Guru In Spanish Language
I love teaching Spanish to students of all ages. I think that a teacher has to develop a group-dynamic in which everyone expresses himself. As a teacher, I believe that a good lesson has to focus on student experience and needs, difficulties, expectations, and personal background. Teaching Spanish I will surely bring enthusiasm and entertainment, emphasizing examples and cultural aspects!
About
My name is Xavier Effiong. I hold a B.A (First Class) from the University of Uyo and a B.Phil (First Class) from Pontifical Urban University in Rome.
I have more than 7 years of experience preparing kids for Loyola Jesuits Colleges entrance examinations. I have developed a system for converting kids into mathematics geniuses. Think of being able to solve 998 x 992 x 11 mentally and producing the answer in 30 seconds or less.
With only one period a week of teaching time, the pupils in Primary 1 to 3 in Olumawu School (Ademola Adetokunbo Road, Wuse II, Abuja) are making sentences and communicating in Spanish. Their parents say they can’t hear something else at home apart from Spanish. And they have only been learning Spanish for 5 weeks as of Nov 2, 2018. The students in S.S.1 to S.S.3 are completely blown away by what God is doing. My principal (yes, the American lady) has told me that parents are calling to congratulate her with lots of excitement. The students are telling me they are teaching their younger ones Spanish at home. And they have only been learning Spanish for 2 periods a week for the past 7 weeks as of Nov 2, 2018.
From experience, I can get any adult or teenager to speak French or Spanish in one month (one hour daily) and Mandarin Chinese in three months (one hour daily) and to get the standard American accent in 90 days (one hour daily). And you’ll be speaking the language from Day One – forming questions, giving answers and commands! For the American Spoken English, if you learn with me for one year, then strangers would never believe you were not brought up in the U.S. I’m developing a system for learning the Chinese characters and researching ways to add more fun to mathematics and science learning, to make them as interesting as foreign languages learning.
