Advanced English Language Tutoring and Exam Preparation

From 70 C$ /h

My student-centred, needs-based classes are exclusively aimed at committed advanced teenagers and young adults who wish to improve their EN language skills and excel. Having started teaching when I was 15 (seriously!), I take pride in knowing what students want and need, relating to them and meeting, if not exceeding, their expectations.
I have taught in Greece, Spain and the UK in a British Council-accredited school. Along with my 15-year experience, I have obtained CELTA and have also acquired a Postgraduate (Level 7) Diploma in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (DipTESOL). I specialise in teaching Levels B2 to C2, including Cambridge exam classes (IELTS, FCE, CAE) because I love challenges. Do you?

Hey there! Get ready to jump into the world of Italian with me – Roberta- your go-to person for Italian language (yes, including hand gestures!)

I have a background in diplomacy and international relations but a deep love for communications and languages.
My classes are tailored to your needs.
We do an assessment during the first chat and then we choose together the right method: classes with a mix of audio, and video lessons and or just a lot of conversation covering phrases, vocabulary, pronunciation, and grammar. And guess what? It's not just learning; if you come to my house it's a blast through Italian food too! :)

By the end, you'll be rocking phrases like "Supercalifragilistichespiralidoso" and tossing around Italian words like a pro.
🎉 Ci vediamo presto!

English has become the Lingua Franca of our times. It's a valuable skill to possess, beneficial for everyone. It comes handy in the ever-developing world that we live in and opens doors to many places, also in the mind. Additionally, bilingualism enhances the cognitive skills.

Whether you'd like to improve your speaking skills and break the language barrier or you wish to prepare better for an English exam, I come to an aid.

In 2023, I've obtained a Master degree in Linguistics at the University of Amsterdam. I've achieved the C1+ levels in English, on the CEFR scale. I have 2 years of experience living in London, where I acquired RP (received pronunciation) and 7 years of experience in the International Academia (Amsterdam). My linguistic background gives me the capacity to explain the sounds and various processes of the language, from a perspective many natives do not know. In teaching, I practice the holistic approach. It is my belief that language is for people of every age and education, but I'm aware that everyone deserves a personal approach. In the first session, we always do a needs analysis and become acquainted, to make sure we click as people and will enjoy working away at your personal language goals.

Over the years, my classes, have proven to raise the confidence levels of students. We practice knowledge in English, on 4 levels of proficiency: Speaking, Listening, Reading and Writing.

I will focus on your strengths and guide you to how to use those to your advantage in learning. We will elicit your potential. With a little help, I am sure you will achieve the goals you set for yourself.

Hello! My name is Sten Mulder Gaton, 23 years old and a Spanish Teacher HBO student.
I started giving Spanish tutoring in 2022, and that's when I discovered that I really enjoy it!

By now, I have tutored all kinds of students, from first-year high school students to retirees, from the unemployed to investors, from Indonesians to Americans (this means I can also teach in English). What the students enjoy most about the lessons is the energy I put into them, which motivates them and, of course, leads to good results.

From the age of one to eight, I lived in various parts of Spain, which means I speak the language fluently and recognize the differences well. You will not only receive help with the Spanish language, but also learn a bit of history and the connection between Spanish and other languages; these are taught using mnemonics that are guaranteed to help you make tremendous progress in learning Spanish!

I am a very friendly, helpful, and social person; I have always enjoyed interacting with people. This also creates a good atmosphere during the lesson, which I find very important.

My teaching style is unique compared to the teachers I have worked with. I focus purely on your learning goal, without difficult grammar exercises. I also teach you handy reading methods and use 'psychological' tricks so that you learn Spanish at a rapid pace!

In my experience, a 2-hour lesson is the maximum duration. After 2 hours of lessons, your concentration decreases. I try to teach you as many different aspects of the Spanish language (and appropriately, the History and Geography of Spain) as possible within that time.

What really motivates me about tutoring is the joy I see in the students and the progress they make. This makes me incredibly proud and determined to continue teaching the Spanish language. I am also taking Module C (highest level) at the Instituto Cervantes, which provides me with tips on teaching and conveying the material. This module provides me with a certificate as compensation.

So what are you waiting for? You are guaranteed not to find cheaper and better tutoring anywhere else! Send me a message :)

Cheers!

I am a native English and Italian speaker, and I have worked as a tutor and language teacher over the past ten years, while also studying History and Cultural Heritage. My experience includes teaching English language courses at different levels, preparing for language exams, conversation practice, as well as text translation and correction. My past customers range from teenage and adult students, to young and older professionals.

As an instructor and teacher, I offer:

• Lessons at all levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced.
• A multi-faceted approach, which covers: conversation practice, text comprehension, grammar, writing, academic and professional vocabulary.
• Training in Professional/Business English.
• Preparation for language tests: FCE and CAE Cambridge tests, IELTS, SATs.
• Conversation practice (tailored to the needs of the student).
• Text translation and proofreading.

Approach - I always encourage the student to develop a personal connection to the language by exploring personal interests in English. In my lessons, I favour a practical approach (real-life situations) and use texts, videos and conversation to elicit grammar rules and vocabulary. When necessary, the lesson is focused on grammar rules and the correct use of language. This positive approach, along with regular practice, will definitely improve your English and keep it active in the long term.

General English: I design the English course based on your personal needs, interests, and motivations. Based on your profile and existing level of English, the course would focus on a specific combination of grammar, vocabulary, listening, reading, writing, and speaking.

English for academic purposes: This course would cover the key aspects of English needed in higher education and academic contexts. In addition to grammar and vocabulary, the course trains the key receptive and productive skills needed in higher education. Receptive skills involve reading and listening to academic texts. Productive skills involve writing and speaking for academic purposes (e.g., research papers, research proposals, essays, presentations, and others).
