*Native English & Chinese Speaker* CTCSOL Certified Teacher for Chinese Conversation / HSKK / HSK1 - 6

From 48.54 C$ /h

Hi there! I'm Joy from Singapore. I'm Singaporean Chinese with roots in north China - I was born in Shandong but I've lived in Singapore since I was 2. That's why I speak both Chinese and English at a native level. For Chinese, I use putonghua (standard Chinese pronunciation) and for English, I use a neutral accent when teaching.

I love learning languages and meeting people from different backgrounds, so I'd be more than happy to learn about your language goals. I'm also able to customise the lessons to suit you. If you need a shorter or longer lesson, please let me know.

Having taken the old HSK6 exam (back when there was no HSK7-9), I totally understand how challenging it can be. I'm trained to teach HSKK and HSK. I can also help you practice and improve conversational Chinese.

If you need help getting started with Chinese, or if you're feeling stuck and aren't sure how to progress, please feel free to drop me a message! :)

To everyone, during this time, I do only online lessons.

This class is inspired by my part-time job. During the free talk, most of my students often ask me to teach them Thai or tell them something about Thailand. So, in this class, you will learn how to speak Thai (like a local) through English e.g. 'Mai Sai Pak Chee' (Do not put coriander!).

As I believe that motivation and fun are the keys in learning, theme-based learning is applied to use for my lessons. During the lessons, you will also know a bit of knowledge about Thailand such as culture, norms, taboo topics, a must to do or eat and etc. I also specialize in tutoring TOEIC exam and ESP (English for Specific Purpose). If you are looking for a fun class to learn both Thai and English, please feel free to join mine.

Education background:

M.A. in Applied Linguistics for English Language Teaching
Teaching experience:
Currently, I am a part-time English teacher at a language school in Tokyo. In Thailand, I have taught English in public and private universities for 12 years, and 2 years teaching Thai conversation for foreigners at a tutoring school too.

My focus is on the student's goals for English, short-term and long-term.
Whatever your reason for studying- be it for a better job, a 'career up' , to pass an important exam or to enjoy traveling overseas, my job is to get you to your target as quickly and enjoyably as possible. Confidence, interest level and motivation are all vital.
I do like to set a little homework-- however I will do all corrections in my own time for free so I am your 'homework partner'.

This class is designed for people who are interested in learning how to speak English from basic conversations to more advance speaking skills. Let's have fun speaking English!

PAST EXPERIENCE
In the past I have hosted Exchange students from many different countries at my house every year and I was an exchange student myself in two different countries. I have lived in the US and France for a year.
Originally, I am from Thailand so English is not my first language so I can truly understand the struggle to learn English. I would love to share some tricks and tips of how to learn English with my future students.

Bonjour Bonjour;

You're maybe planning to travel to France for Business or for vacations...Or you just want to learn French for Academic or professional reasons!

My name is Hicham (Here the French spelling of my first name make it sound "HiTChem" in English speaking countries - which i find awful to hear :) so the exact spelling to pronounce it right should be Heesham). And this is the perfect example that Pronounciation is one of the most important matter in French learning; not only for you to be able to understand French words and learn them, but also and mostly to be able to be understood when you speak them. Just like it's hard to understand a new english speaker with a strong foreign accent

Imagine: "Un ver vert va vers un verre vert". Which means that a green worm is going towards a green glass. This doesn't make any sense but it illustrates what we call Homonymes. The word homonyme comes from Latin, more specifically as "Homos" (similar) and "onoma" (name). And it get more complicated when Homophones have the same pronounciation but not the same meaning nor the same spelling. Or worst; "Homographes" which are written the same spelling but complete different meaning and pronounciation. And finally the most tricky ones are the perfect Homonymes like:" un TOUR de magie" and la TOUR d'un chateau. (Magic trick and Castle Tower)...

But don't worry - You don't need to understand what the Oceans are made of to be able to swim.

And this is here I come. I am born in France (born in 1978 in Orleans) - studied in France, Teach French in Morocco, UK, Spain and Italy for Communication Business purposes. I used to teach Sales in French to Non-native French speaker Callcenter Agents in the Philippines lately. Been teaching in English. Yes I have been learning and practicing English since 2012 and I am now perfectly fluent with an accent which is not French :) Yay :) And my role as your French teacher will be to give you the perfect coaching to make you improve your French skills just like I did in French and other languages.

Yes, I am the perfect example that anyone can learn a new language and become like a native one. I'm proud when I meet french people speaking english together when they cannot notice my accent and don't know I'm from France until I tell them.

Of course, I will provide you all the Grammar, Conjugaison, Orthographe and all the basics modules from the French Academy you need to practice and have a proper French conversation. But not only, I garantee you that you will be able to sing in French.(it will develop your French ear and your pronounciation)

My classes are customized for one to one classes or small group of people who want to have a real follow up on your learning evolution. From beginner to advance. It will include private sessions, customized exercises, funny home work... one to one conversations, French songs :) Yes I will sing too.

I will give you all the tools and tricks that I used myself to reach my English level. So together, we will make sure to find the right path for you to learn and practice French with a purpose.

Contact me if you have questions (the pricing offer is per student for maximum group of 10 people). One to one French coaching can be organized as well;

Feel free to contact me

Hello! My name is Mary and I'm from Singapore. I love traveling, meeting people and learning languages. I'm a polyglot, that means I'm interested in languages and can use quite a few of them fluently: English, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, etc.

My background
I've been living and teaching in Japan for over 20 years. I've taught at schools and universities, large corporations (JR East), government Ministries (MOE),and even the military (JIETAI).

During my time here, I've taught English (still teaching) to people from all walks of life: school students, teachers, home-makers, retirees, technicians, designers, company executives, physicians, lawyers, police officers and military personnel, etc. I've taught conversational Mandarin & Cantonese too, to students of all ages, both in person and online.

My focus and belief
I'm friendly, fun and energetic. In my classes, I focus largely on having a good time. My belief is that you learn better if you're having a good time. Of course, I also believe in helping my students improve their pronunciation, intonation, and fluency; and for them to reach the goal of communicating naturally and confidently in the language (languages) they choose to learn.

So, what are you waiting for? Contact me today, and let's start this exciting-and-fun-learning journey together!

I am a doctoral student at Meiji University, in Tokyo, and I would like to bring my experience in teaching Spanish to foreigners to Japan.

In Salamanca, the mecca of Iberian Spanish, I was able to teach young people from all over the world from the first levels of acquisition such as A 1 and 2 to the more academic Spanish of levels C.

I live in Tokyo, so I could travel or teach my courses online. I speak naturally Japanese (N1) and English.

If you want to start studying Spanish, take it up again or just start from the beginning, don't hesitate and contact me!

My name is Gabriel, and I'm a certified English Teacher from South America! I speak both Spanish and English at a native level. I've recently relocated to Tokyo and I'm on an adventure learning about your beautiful country and language. I majored in English and Linguistics, so I have a lot of knowledge about how language acquisition works in our brains! My previous jobs were at a bilingual school and online working with adults, preparing them for exams and teaching them English for future life challenges. In classes, we're going to use games, technology and talk about YOU a lot! Besides, I'm going to share with you very interesting practical tips for passive language acquisition ( for outside the classes). Looking forward to getting in touch with you! :)
