Learn English with a native speaker - Cambridge CELTA trained with 6 years' experience

From 49.99 C$ /h

I am a native English speaker and have six years' experience teaching English to adults and children (read my reviews below). I received my Cambridge Certificate in Teaching English to Adults from International House in 2008. I am offering lessons to adults and children that will improve your grammar, vocabulary and speaking. I provide all the materials for the lesson and tailor the lesson to your needs. I can do lessons via webcam and can email you materials for the lesson. (webcam lessons price negotiable)
In Paris I taught one to one Business English classes with 'Linguarama' and in Morocco I taught English at two universities and to children, teenagers and adults at a language school. In Dublin I taught with the globally recognised school, Education First (EF) and in Belgium and Greece I gave one to one classes.

Extra information

I speak French but I prefer to keep to English as much as possible during the lesson.

About Me

- I am originally from Dublin and I have lived in London, Paris and Brussels.
- I have experience in teaching learners of all ages but the bulk of my experience is with young adults and adults.
- I emphasise a communicative approach, with a minimum of 'teacher talk time'. I use speaking activities to encourage students to actively practice the grammar and vocabulary that we cover which results in the student being able to expand their conversation abilities.
- I have consistently scored extremely high student evaluations in every school I have taught in.
- References and a copy of my Certificate to teach are available on request.

Experience / Qualifications

I began my teaching career in Paris working for 'Wall Street English'. I then worked for 'Linguarama' for the rest of my time in Paris where I taught one to one Business English lessons. The next two years of my teaching career were spent in Rabat, where I taught with 'Amideast'. There I taught all levels of General English. Each Summer I returned to Dublin where I taught General English to young adults. I spent over a year working for the Dublin branch of the international school EF, where I taught General English, grammar workshops, and conversation classes to adults.

For all levels, for children and adults, as well as preparation for diplomas.
All aspects of the language will be targeted during the lessons, with emphasis on those desired by the student (e.g. conversational, grammar)

Courses focused on language practice can also be organized, focusing on specific topics that interest the student, will allow the student not to lose his knowledge of the language and to further develop his knowledge of the vocabulary in the specific desired area.

Regarding the preparation of diplomas, the courses will cover the specificities of the tests (timing, response format, vocabulary, etc.).

You will learn Spanish and / or English in a dynamic way with exercises that promote the learning of the language to use it in everyday life as well as in a more formal or even specific setting. My goal is that you can use the language to communicate fluently and enjoy it.

To do this, I use non-formal education methods, these are activities that make it possible to implement the knowledge already acquired of the language and to improve and deepen its level, but also to formal education by explaining grammar or dispelling doubts in order to teach them to express themselves well in writing and orally in formal or informal situations.

In summary, the student will learn grammar and pronunciation through conversations and games.

In addition, the courses will be adapted to the needs and requirements of the student. I offer online courses with multiple digital tools or face-to-face at the student's home if possible.

Do not hesitate to contact me, I would be happy to answer you.

Hello! My name is Kate and I am an Australian who is has been living in France since 2019. I am fluent in French and English is obviously my native language.

My educational background: I hold a Masters of Art Therapy from The University of Paris with a major in music therapy, a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) with majors in Music and Psychology, and a Diploma of Languages with a major in French from The University of Queensland, Australia.

As a native English speaker my goal is to instill confidence in my students (of all ages) of their ability to speak, use, and understand English. I use a variety of interactive methods including songs, actions, rhymes, books, and music. I am firm believer in 'trying' and as such I will encourage my students to use their English, regardless of how many faults they may make. It is only from making errors, that we can improve! Additionally, I am happy to work on assignments, test preparation, or any other English homework which may need completing. I can provide homework, or extension tasks as required.

My lessons are largely immersion based, and as such I will avoid the use of French, unless an explanation is needed for clarity. I am happy to adapt to the needs of my students.

I have been teaching English in France since 2019. Prior to arriving in France, I tutored for over two years in Australia, aiding students from ages 8 to 17 with a variety of subjects including English, maths, science, music, and french. I have extensive experience with children: I have been a scout leader since 2020 in Marseille, and have been involved with Girl Guides Australia since I was 7 years old, eventually leading a group of 10-17 year olds for over 4 years before arriving to France.

I am located near Metro Prado, but can travel throughout Marseille. Depending on distance, travel costs may be in addition to class fees.

I have a valid working with children background check in Australia, and hold first aid qualifications in France (PSC1).

The courses I offer include General English, Business English and Exam English (TOEFL/IELTS). My lessons are based on certified ESL textbooks, but I adapt them to focus on what you want to learn. These can be specific topics - for example, current affairs, hobbies or work - or a particular area of language - such as pronunciation, grammar, conversation or writing. In fact, you decide the program!

About me: I am a 32 year old English speaker from the UK with over eight years of teaching experience. Since obtaining my Cambridge Certified Teaching Certificate in 2011, I have taught a wide range of ages, levels and class sizes in the Netherlands, Indonesia, Turkey, Germany and the United Kingdom. United.

I specialize in teaching pronunciation, grammar and writing. Having given private lessons to several French speakers in my last job in London, I am well placed to understand your needs as a native French speaker.

As a bonus, I am also a journalist and editor-in-chief. This means that whether you need to work on English presentations, need help writing essays, or simply want to improve your conversation skills on current affairs topics, I can work with you to give each area a little more sparkle.

The most important thing for me is that you enjoy learning. I believe in having fun in class and I enjoy learning from my students. Having studied several foreign languages myself, including French, I know how difficult, but also rewarding, learning a language can be. That's why I have a lot of sympathy for everyone who wants to develop their communication skills.

If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact me, in English or French.

The first session is a session to assess the student's level and identify their gaps in order to subsequently establish a clear work plan to achieve the desired objectives, whether it be a refresher course, homework support or preparation. of an examination.
Having been a prep student myself for three years before taking the business school exams, I am able to help each student improve by developing a rigorous and efficient working method.

History and geography courses are essential to understand the world around us and also represent a strong coefficient in studies (before the baccalaureate). These subjects are also a key source of general culture, it is important to nourish them.
Moreover, English, especially in our time, allows us to travel but also to be able to express ourselves with as many people as possible.
This language is also highly valued in the world of work and opens many doors to those who speak it correctly.
Thanks to my interest in these subjects in high school, but also the depth that I maintain for these subjects even today in higher education, I am in a position to give lessons to students (up to the baccalaureate)
I got 18/20 in hggsp (history, geography, political science and geopolitics) in my baccalaureate, and 17/20 in amc (English) as well as 20/20 in my English oral exam in my baccalaureate.

English is a living language with a style and a way of seeing the world. In my classes, we’ll go beyond grammar to:
Build confidence in speaking through lively, fun conversation.
Explore literature and poetry to deepen your language and cultural understanding.
Focus on real-life fluency, whether for studies, work, or travel.
I tailor each lesson to you based on your level, whether you’re a beginner needing solid foundations, an advanced student polishing your writing, or someone who just wants to sound more natural in conversation.
