    qualified English teacher for individual or group classes

    I have lived and studied in UK for many years (Master and PhD). I hold a TEFL certificate to teach English at different levels, and I have more than 10 years of teaching experience. I am a dynamic teacher which organises the lessons according to the needs and interests of each student. I can support the students at different levels, from beginners to advanced. Moreover, having taught at university level, I can help students in their first years at university (humanistic subjects) improve their essay writing, research and study methods.

    About Me

    Teaching has always been a passion for me. After my first degree in Languages, I moved to UK to continue my studies, and I lived and worked there for almost 10 years. I lived in Manchester, where I got my Master degree, in London, and in Coventry, for my PhD. My PhD research focused on international development. In particular, I explored the dynamics of agricultural poverty in Tanzania, where I lived, worked and taught English for almost two years before starting my PhD. I am a dynamic teacher, always looking for alternative and fun ways to inspire my students and make their learning easier and fun. I work a lot with digital material, literature, current news and real life videos, trying to match the student's interests.

    Education

    I have a degree in Languages and Literature (English as the main language, plus French and Spanish), a Master in Development Studies (University of Manchester), a PhD in Political Studies (Warwick University) and a TEFL qualification (Teaching English as a Foreign Language).

    Experience / Qualifications

    I have taught at both secondary and primary levels, at groups and individuals (one to one) for over 9 years. I have also three years of experience teaching adults. I organise general English courses, business English and English for specific sectors. I also offer student support (in English) in studying other humanistic subjects such as history, geography, literature.

    Natalia
    Cambridge certified teacher offers online and face-to-face English classes of real-to-life practical conversations and exams preparation
    My teaching is based on British communicative methods. My classes are well structured and lead you from simple to a higher level. Your practical needs are the points of our plan to progress. We define your initial position, then you tell me what level you want to achieve and I offer you the way to do it and the length of time it can take. I use Oxford and Cambridge University books, YouTube authentic English language videos, film fragments, song lyrics to make your lessons interesting. We check your progress by regular testing. You speak 90% of the class time, while 10% goes to listening and reading comprehension. Learning by doing is my main rule. You can choose to study with or without homework.

    Kevin
    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.

    Hello, I have been a French and English teacher for over 26 years. I offer my services as a proofreader.

During my career, I have corrected, explained, and given advice to my students in middle schools, general, vocational, and technological high schools, as well as to students in higher education. I have a lot of experience. There is nothing like someone who can proofread and correct the content of your writing without judgment and with complete discretion. During class hours, I offer to advise you, explain grammar rules, see with you how to better structure your writing, work on vocabulary, etc. Thank you for your trust.

Through these lessons, I will teach students to gain confidence in speech and writing with clarity and correctness. The English portion will enhance reading comprehension, vocabulary development, and critical thinking skills. I will provide various texts and sections from selected readings to help the students develop the skills of analyzing and interpreting language. The writing portion of this class will expand the knowledge of the students to be able to express their thoughts clearly and creatively through structured writing. Through exercises and free writing, the students will develop essential writing skills for academic and personal success.
