She’s specialized in teaching adults ever since. She has worked in Argentina, France and England. She taught Franco-African children in Paris with no knowledge of the Spanish or English language encouraging everyone to speak in the target language at all times. This proved how effective teaching methods can be even when there has been no contact with the new language. While living in London, she got her Certificate in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language and upon getting her certificate, she became an International House teacher, one of the most respectable language schools worldwide with a strong global presence and a high reputation for innovative and quality teaching. Convinced that teachers should be excellent communicators who inculcate happiness and a passion for learning through creative and innovative activities, she embarked on the completion of her Neurolinguistic Programming PractitionerCertificate at Instituto Argentino de Formación e Investigación last year. She runs a consulting firm which specialises in “in-company teaching and learning” implementing the academic program, managing the teaching team, displaying a flexible bespoke teaching approach, handling testing and liasing with training departments. Among her publications are “Teaching English at University level: How to Make it a Memorable Experience when Reading Comprehension and Grammar Instruction Prevail” Humanising Language Teaching Magazine, UK, Jan / Feb 2011 issue, ISSN 1755-9715 and her teaching blogs at the BBC & British Council.  These articles have been frequently chosen and recommended by the editor. Her main areas of professional interest are how adults learn and developing hands-on curriculum that reaches every student learning style and ability.

A message from our Managing Director

English Mindset

Communications portal for ESL students, professionals and travelers, via Skype!

Greetings,

Our ability to understand each other effectively is crucial to our well being.

We live in an age where exponentially more and more people use advanced Internet communication technologies to reach worldwide audiences.   The English language has a central unifying role that helps people around the world understand the intricacies of our single shared humanity; more and more people use English as the language of choice in cross cultural communications and the rate of growth is unprecedented. 

 As a consequence of globalization, whether in commerce, academia, diplomacy, or while traveling these  days, etc., people from all cultural backgrounds seek English as a common language to bridge the communication gap that divides us. 

English Mindset's mission is to utilize state of the art communication technologies to reach students and instructors around the world and match them up for a value added experience.  We welcome qualified English instructors and students of all levels to participate in this most beneficial exchange. 

Either form the comfort of their homes or from anywhere with an Internet connection, people  from all walks of life, like full time workers with limited time, persons with disabilities, homemakers, ESL students, professionals, travelers, etc., will be able to gain confidence in speaking English as they advance through our courses.   English Mindset is committed to select only the most reliable and expert language instructors. 

These instructors are either English native speakers or those with English as a second language with superior skills.   We believe that instructors who can speak more than one language may consequently offer great assistance to students in their own language.

Last but not least, English Mindset wishes to explore opportunities towards promoting tourism into Western Canada by providing services  to travelers who wish to use their stay in Canada as an opportunity to have fun and at the same time practice their English skills.  English Mindset looks forward to your thoughts on this matter and invites you to start a dialog with us. 

Thank you very for your kind consideration,

Sincerely yours,

Cesar Macher
