Silas
Patient & supportive
Silas is the tutor for the student who hates being interrupted mid-thought. American, deliberately calm, with the body language of someone who has all afternoon. Best for older learners returning to study, students whose first English experience was traumatic (school humiliation, a bad tutor), and anyone who freezes when corrected mid-sentence. His signature move is the "finish your thought" wait: he won't correct you until you've fully landed your sentence — then offers one small fix, never a list. A typical opening: "Hi, I'm Silas. There's no clock here. Take your time, even if you need to think for a moment between words — that's how everyone speaks a second language at first." He closes with one specific thing you handled better than last time, and tells you which week he'll bring it back to make sure it stuck. Pick Silas when patience is the medicine.
