From 41.66 C$ /h

These classes are intended to boost your confidence in a new language or build on your existing knowledge to make you comfortable with grammar and conversation. I am a qualified English teacher (TEFL) and a native English speaker from England. I believe that the best way to learn a new language is to be immersed in its culture. As someone who grew up in London, I am happy to teach you about English culture in our lessons. I also want to make sure that you achieve your goal, whether that is getting into an English university, passing a language exam or simply learning something new. I am here to help you with your writing and speaking, but above all, to make sure you enjoy learning or perfecting a new language!

About Me

Hello! My name is Lucia and I am currently a Master's student at Leiden university. I have moved here from London and I am offering English language and essay-writing lessons as a qualified English teacher (TEFL). In London, I studied History of Art and now I am studying Global Ethnography, which I am really enjoying. I am happy to also teach classes in Italian and Spanish, as I am fluent in both. I love working together with my students to challenge them and overcome their language insecurities. I want to make these experiences fun but I also do expect hard work. I am here to help you learn something new and exciting!

Education

I have a Bachelor Degree in Art History from London. At school, my final exams were on Spanish, English literature and History of Art. I continued to learn Spanish at university, achieving a C1 grade. I am currently studying a Master's at Leiden university!

Experience / Qualifications

I tutored younger students in essay writing and literature throughout my time and school and university. In 2019 I received my TEFL qualification so that I could finally start teaching English!

I have a MSc. in Education, and I am currently a PhD candidate at Leiden University within the Humanities Faculty, as part of the Institute for History - International Studies.
My academic activities include developing special courses in order to prepare students for TOEFL, SAT, ACT, GRE, and GMAT examinations (American standardized tests required to apply to certain universities).
I am also an International Baccalaureate® (IB) and Advanced Placement proctor and tutor for the American School of The Hague.

I have many years of experience teaching English, Spanish, History, Social Studies, Psychology, MS maths and Algebra.

In addition, I have several years of experience with Mindfulness practices within educational settings in order to address procrastination, stress, anxiety, and enhanced cognitive and academic performance.

I am an Italian native speaker with a bachelor in Italian Literature and Linguistics. In Italy, I usually teach English to high school students, or adults who want to improve their skills with this language.
Usually, I tend to use a non-academic approach, by focusing on the student's interests and make him/her applying the language to their everyday life, instead of simply learning the grammar rules by heart.
In my opinion, learning a new language should be fun and easy, nothing too stressful. What you will get from is a new positive and funny way to learn a foreign language such as Italian or English.

English or Spanish classes based in speaking to improve fluency and vocabulary.

You won't need anything else rather than a pen and a paper. We'll talk and I'll teach you how to correctly pronounce, the tenses, false friends and phrasal verbs and anything else you may need in your everyday.

I am a native English language speaker and can provide lessons in spoken and written English, I am also an experienced public speaker and am able to provide lessons in this as well correcting grammatical mistakes in written English. I am passionate about helping others master the English language and have a lot of experience in tutoring other people in this area.

As I am finishing my Bachelor in Comparative Philosophy at Leiden University, I am more than happy to help high school students and adults who show interest in engaging in critical thinking, whether it is for exams, tests or as personal challenge. Furthermore, I am proficient in English, French and German for students and adults interested in learning a new language or preparing for language tests.

Although I am a trained philosophy teacher for secondary students, I have shifted my focus to tutoring English and Portuguese language learners. My goal is to provide dynamic classes that allow students to use functional language in real-world ways, but each class can be tailor-made to the individual's needs. I use Cambridge materials for my English classes, in addition to real-world texts and videos, to train students on grammar, pronunciation and vocabulary. Student-centered classes are the most beneficial in my opinion, so I focus on having the student speak while also guiding them with the correct language depending on their problem areas.

English is a world language. You can go almost everywhere with English. That is why it is important that you have some command of English and that you can make yourself understood. And that is what I am for, helping people, young or old, to learn English or improve their English.

Method:

First I make an assessment of aptitude for, and existing knowledge of, English for each student.

During teaching I find the following elements important:
1. Creating a friendly and pleasant atmosphere in which the student starts to feel enthusiastic.
2. Discipline. This means that the course leader and the student (s) do what is expected of them.
3. From simple to complicated, tailored to the aptitude and experience of the student (s).
4. Practicing a lot and repeating previous lessons.
5. Structured work. This mainly means working on the grammar of English because grammar gives structure to a language.
6. Regular keys.

Private tutoring classes for young children, teenagers, adults and seniors who would like to:
> Learn Italian, French and/or English from scratch
> Do homework with the support of a tutor
> Improve and perfect their language skills (speaking, writing, listening and reading)
> Prepare for language certifications such as PET, FIRST, TOEFL, DELF, admission exams...
> Practice their skills in fun conversations and/or for special occasions

About Francesca: I graduated as a translator and interpreter from the University of Geneva (Switzerland) and I lived in different countries where I perfected my accent and pronunciation and I also learnt about the local culture (specifically Italy, Switzerland, France, Germany, Belgium, UK, the US).
I love foreign languages and cultures and my goal is to pass this enthusiasm on to my students as they also learn "boring" grammar rules. For me it's all about helping you find a method of language learning that makes it easy for you to remember new words and correct grammar.

Looking forward to hearing from you!

English is a powerful tool in today's interconnected world. Coming from a country where English is predominantly spoken, I understand how important it can be to be able not just to write but also converse in English.

I am an American citizen with a strong English education background. I love teaching and have worked as a teaching assistant during my undergraduate studies. I love working with people, especially students, and I hope to use my English prowess to help others!

I'm a polyglot & passionate teacher of foreign languages with teaching certificates in all 5 languages and more than 14 years of experience in the classroom and online.

I have lived in several countries (Spain, UK, Ireland, Italy and the Netherlands) and I have taught language classes to students of all ages in groups and individually.

I offer classes in English, French, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese or Catalan. Also German and Swedish for beginners.

Hello! My name is Leonor and I am a Law Student from Portugal. In the last few months, I worked as an English Teacher in a Refugee Camp and Greece and before that I worked as a Portuguese and English tutor to both middle school and high school students. I had a 8.5/9 IELTS score and have lived abroad for several years, so English is a language I'm really comfortable in speaking.

I love creating worksheets and powerpoints. Furthermore, I love summarizing the topics I'm teaching in the end of each lesson and making sure the students never leave class with questions. Creating a comfortable environment for the students to make mistakes is something I consider really important.

I would love to teach you Portuguese and English, so you can improve your legal, writing and conversational skills in both languages!

I offer personalized English lessons for all age groups. I have 7 years of experience as a tutor. I have a master's degree in English and I work in an American company. For children, I make lessons fun and interactive. I can also help them prepare for exams or competitions. For adults, I can both develop your speaking skills through conversations or focus on business English. I am flexible and helping my students achieve their language goals is my priority. Just let me know your needs and we can work out the plan of your studies!

In the EU, many of us communicate verbally and in writing using English, although it may not be our native language. With this class I can practice speaking English with you for formal presentations, school or work assignments, etc. or help you work on your grammar, diction, and syntax in English writing. I was born and raised in Canada, therefore am a native English speaker, and also have a Bachelor of Medical Science, so I can also help with technical and scientific language.

Writing can be hard work. You know what you want to say, but when you try to write down your ideas, your brain starts to hurt. Sometimes you don't know how to get started, or you get stuck. Perhaps you've toiled away, trying to capture your idea, only to realize your paragraph seems horribly dull.

Most writers wrestle with these issues but learn ways to make the writing process less painful. I can help you pick up a few tricks of the trade, so you too don't have to suffer (as much).

Learn how to take notes, make outlines, give presentations, craft clear sentences, compose focused paragraphs, draft stories and essays, and edit. Next time you are faced with a writing assignment, you’ll know the little steps you need to make for the task to be much more manageable.
