American English Tutor, speaking partner, and help with textbooks!

From 62 C$ /h

I am an American living in Switzerland. English is my first language, as well as having been one of my primary studies during my time in college. I excel in English at all levels; however, my primary focus is to help people through the beginner and intermediate stages. As someone who learned English as their first language, I find the textbook way of teaching English to be a little rigid; my goal is to help you learn English in the most natural way possible.

Extra information

Please have a goal in mind, let me know where you want to be, and I will do everything in my power to get you there. If you wish to learn in person, please bring a laptop, or any textbooks/materials for learning English if you need help grading, or require additional help with them.

I was born and raised in Italy but I lived in the UK for almost 7 years. I started teaching Italian and English in 2015. I worked for private language schools and NATO Defense College in Rome. I teach children and adults, group and private lessons. My lessons are tailored to fit the level and the needs of my students. I always make sure that my students are in a serene environment and enjoy their lessons. I have the DILS-PG and the CELTA certifications to teach both Italian and English as a second language. Also, I have experience in preparing students for international exams such as KET, PET, FIRST.

Hi there,
I'm Annika and I studied psychology in Heidelberg and Cambridge.
Tutoring has been my great passion for over 10 years, with a focus on mathematics and languages as well as statistics and psychology. Together with my tutoring students, I will close gaps in the material in order to prepare my students specifically for the work ahead. My goal is to convey the fun of learning to you/your children and I would like to help you/your children to approach homework, exams, high school and university exams with motivation.
I would be very happy to receive your message.

Need help with the IELTS speaking test?

I can offer one-on-one tutoring to help you learn more about the speaking part of IELTS and help you achieve the band score you need. I can help you identify areas to improve, like:
- how many and what kind of grammar mistakes you're making when speaking
- how to improve your pronunciation to be more accurate in clear
- how to hold a conversation and meet the examiner's expectations
- how to expand your vocabulary to be more appropriate for the test

I am a native English speaker and have years of experience as a university academic English lecturer (including IELTS workshops). I know university's expectations for students' speaking abilities and how the IELTS tests this.

Together we can cover the structure of the test and practice so that you gain some experience before the actual test date. I can offer you guidance for areas you need to work on and set your expectations for the test date. Just a few sessions together online can help get you on the right track to achieve the IELTS speaking band score you need!

I'm available online or on a limited basis in Zurich city. Happy to meet with more than one student at a time if desired or one-on-one. Flexible times -- please feel free to ask.

My name is Anna, and for over 15 years I have enjoyed sharing my knowledge with passion and patience with my students. I love helping them progress and gain confidence. Each student is unique, which is why I adapt to each one of them.
I primarily work with my students on fluency and accuracy in spoken English. Through regular, guided oral practice, they gain confidence in expressing themselves in English and develop a clear understanding of grammar, as well as its use in conversation.

For me, the best way to learn French is first through conversation. I believe that speaking about simple topics, personal interests, and subjects that truly motivate the student is essential. When learners talk about what they are passionate about, they feel more confident and engaged, and progress comes more naturally.
In a second step, I like to create personalized modules and materials adapted to each student. When I identify areas for improvement, I design specific exercises and activities to help them grow. However, I always keep the student’s needs and interests at the center of the learning process. My goal is to make learning French enjoyable, motivating, and meaningful.
