About

Hi, My name’s Justin and thanks for stopping by!

I’m the creator behind My English Tree.

————————–

An English language learning platform with loads of great useful printable/ downloadable English resources and insight for teachers and students.

——————–

  • Are you looking to improve your speaking and understanding of the English language a whole lot more without having to go abroad and from the comfort of your own home?
  • Have you tried other methods that just haven’t worked for you?
  • Do you have problems understanding some of the basic grammar structures used in the language and/ or applying them when expressing yourself?
  • Are you preparing for an official exam of some sort and need help? (Ex. Cambridge, Trinity, Ielts, etc)

Well, rest assured because I am here to help you out!

Included in this site, and of course completely free, you will find:

  • Some helpful tips on how to improve in each and every skill of the language, with special emphasis on speaking and listening.
  • Clear and concise grammar explanations (in some cases with notes and practice worksheets).
  • Useful audio tracks which will really take your listening to a whole new level.
  • … and much much more!

As a native English teacher with over 10 years of experience in working with children, teens and adults I love and am very dedicated to helping students reach their goals in English and am passionate about the English language.

I have coached and tutored hundreds of students over the years in becoming fluent, improving their pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar (applying this to their expression too), listening, reading and writing and of course preparing them for official exams.

Unlike other teachers/ experts, I have a self-developed system that has helped many other students to improve their English effectively in record-breaking time (which is my main objective when it comes to teaching) and I am going to show you how you can do it for free!

Most likely, in the near to distant future I will be developing this into a course based system to help other students like yourself. But, as I mentioned previously, for now, all this info will be completely free!

More about Me

My journey started many years ago when I myself was faced with learning a new language when I decided to further pursue my career in teaching and move to spectacularly sunny Spain.

Although my journey was not easy, it helped me, together with my involvement with my students and experience teaching English as a second language, to learn Spanish in no more than 6 tough months, by doing a little every day (or every other day on busier weeks).

Now, I am completely fluent in 3 languages (including Spanish) and most importantly I found that whether you have the necessity (work, travel, etc) or keenness to learn a language you can definitely do it, with just a little determination and motivation and of course, the right methodology.

I also found throughout my experience working with people on developing their language skills, that those who learnt the most effectively and reached their goals quicker were the ones who were the most constant!

“Being constant is everything.”

Justin Smart

So, although it is true that I was immersed in the language, being in the country where I was learning (which helps to learn more quickly), it didn’t make the road any less rocky.

In fact, there were times when I felt like my head was going to explode due to not having been able to switch off from the steep language learning curve! However, as they say, where there’s a will there’s a way (Exp. Spanish- querer es poder).

I am also a strong believer that you do NOT have to travel to or live in that specific country if you want to learn its language effectively, because although it might be quicker, it’s also a LOT harder.

Remember, it’s not the same to make the mistake in a classroom environment or in the comfort of your own home as it is out in the wild, where you can come across actual disastrous and embarrassing situations, or be ripped off at the local internet café because you don’t have the linguistic ability to defend yourself- just some of the things that I disgracefully had to endure.

So, I wish you all the best of luck on your journey and I sincerely hope you enjoy my blog, and it helps you to reach your objective of becoming bilingual as quickly as possible with an English level that you can be proud of.
