Welcome!

Hello! Welcome to my website! It is clear that you have read one of my flyers, and are interested in improving your English. I have set up this site to give you a little more information about me and what we can do together to Improve Your English!

Here is a step-by-step example of how we can work together to Improve Your English:

1. You read my flyer and visit this site.
2. You read this site for more information.
3. You email me at struby@gmail.com to set up a meeting time and place.
4. We meet at a cafeteria, bar, or landmark (for example, in front of the Mercado Central) to discuss meeting times, how I can help you Improve Your English, and the cost.
5. I help you Improve Your English!

At any time you can email me at struby@gmail.com to ask questions, get more information, or set up a meeting time. Enjoy this site!

Basic Information

Cost:
The cost changes from person to person. We will determine the cost for you together. Here are some examples of factors that go into deciding the cost: how often we meet (the more regularly we meet, the better your English becomes, and the cheaper I am), how long we meet, what we do, and how many people are involved. We decide cost together. Just so you have an idea, 8 to 10 Euros per hour is my usual starting rate, but it changes a lot depending on the job and person/people.

You are the only person who can decide exactly what you want to accomplish with your time. It can be as structured or relaxed as you choose. Below are some examples of services I provide, but we will work together to decide what is right for you.
