Here is a comment from a happy mother! I am tutoring her daughter on SKYPE once a week, as well as correcting her writing.

?Kaitlyn was very excited for your class.  And she mentioned you also read the book she just finished yesterday.  She already has some thought on writing of the book review.

I am very happy to see Kaitlyn has shown strong interest on English reading, and looking forward to see the same happen on writing and strong desire to express herself."

To whom it may concern.

Evi has been teaching my daughter English by online since 2016.  we are very satisfactory with Evi's class.  each class content has been well prepared by her.  her class is always interesting, and gives lots of inspiration on my daughter.

my daughter is a quite introvert girl, and she is not so good at expressing herself.  but with Evi's class, she always feels lots of idea, and topics would like to share.  she is very excited in each class.  after several classes, Evi noticed my daughter's weakness on vocabulary and grammar.  then she parepared some materials for her to build her vocabuary and practice grammar in each class.

we also have weekly writing homework.  Evi always reviews very carefully, and gives many useful comments on it, which is very helpful to improve my daughter's writing skill.

Evi is also very warm-hearted.  she provided lots of advice on my daughter's application essay and interview for a good high school.

if you would like to have a responsible, knowledgable and experienced english online tutor, i will recommend Evi without any hesitation.

Regards,

Kaitlyn's mother

Evi is a wonderful tutor. I really highly recommend you. When I just took her first trial lesson, I placed my order to get 20 classes immediately. No doubt she is an experienced English teacher with professional teaching experience, knowledgeable , good teaching abilities and passion as well as patience. I feel like I have more confidence on speaking. She also improve my pronunciation, upgrade my fluency and listening comprehension. If you accept the homework, she will give you some to practice. It's really a good way to practice English. It looks like a " customized " English classes for me. Totally. No doubt! How lucky am I that I have such excellent tutor. Of course!

I started my lessons with Evi two weeks ago. I like that Evi is very communicative. It doesn't matter you are not good in speaking or shy . She gets you to talk anyway! It is easy to learn English with her. One hour with Evi passes unnoticed and in one breath. Her lessons inspire me to watch English films and listen to English podcasts. Evi helps to remove the language barrier. I hope our next lessons will be equally prodactive.

I strongly recommend Evi as your next teacher. I've taken 3 lessons with her and all of them were absolutely fantastic! Well prepared lesson, clear and understandable pronunciation, immediate corrections after a lesson concomitant to suggestions for the improvements, she knows how to detect your weak spots and how to improve them. And the most important factor is that she is highly motivated, she encourages you to achieve your goals despite all obstacles.

Evi is a wonderful tutor! She is both very energetic person and experienced professional. We have had several lessons and I feel that they were really intensive and productive. Also, Evi prepares a lot to each lesson, sends notes afterwards concerning the issues I have to work with to improve my spoken English. Evi chooses only interesting topics to talk about, and her positive attitude motivates me a lot. I am looking forward to having our next lesson as I enjoy them very much!

I am offering a series of guided tours, hikes, a visit to see the salmon spawning in the autumn, a Fiber Art Workshop and lots more. Keep watching this blog!

To Get to Gibsons From Downtown Vancouver:

Take the 257 Express Bus. It departs from Hamilton and Dunsmuir in front of VCC College (an 8 minute walk from OHC) and only stops about twice en route to the Horseshoe Bay Ferry. It's about a 45 minute trip from downtown Vancouver to the ferry terminal in Horseshoe Bay, North Vancouver.

When you get to the ferry terminal, be sure to ask for a ticket to Langdale at the ticket booth (it costs about $15.65 return).  There are several waiting rooms, make sure you are in the correct waiting room to board the ferry to Langdale. (Ask anyone!) You board the large ferry from the waiting room. It is a 40 minute scenic trip with a restaurant, viewing gallery outside, and gift shop inside.

Go down to the lowest car deck to get off the ferry. Many people will be waiting there and you walk off before the cars. I will meet you as you walk off. My cell phone number is  604 989 8640.

We will then get into my car and begin our adventure. If we have more people attending we will have extra transportation.

Please reserve ahead, email me at

eviblueth@gmail.com

or

604 886 8097 - cell 604 989 8640

You can pay ahead by mastercard,visa, paypal or cash.

I look forward to showing you our amazing rainforest and the "road less traveled".  It will be a great way to practice English while taking in the soothing
aspects of nature and mild exercise.

4) Silk Painting Workshop at Evi's Round Table

This workshop will teach the students how to paint on silk either freestyle, or using a gutta resist to create outlines. I will provide all the materials, and teach various techniques during a day long workshop. The student will create a round painting stretched on a hoop. The result will be a finished small wall hanging to take back as a gift or wall art for your own room. (if the weather is nice painting a silk scarf in the outdoor studio might be possible) Silk painting is magical, and as a fiber artist I will be able to teach several techniques. This is a great way to learn English comprehension, interact using English and do something creative with others!  All the materials will be provided.

Fee $85.00  (includes transport, tutorial, materials, and refreshments, and English practice)

This workshop is indoors, so can take place in any kind of weather. It's messy so best to wear clothing that doesn't matter or bring a big shirt to protect good clothing. (more details to come)
