Licensed ESL tutor with over 4 years of experience. Passionate, CELTA and TEFL Young Learners Certified
From 41.64 C$ /h
I specialize in tutoring ESL lessons. I put emphasis on speaking and listening through spontaneous oral talks, questions, and small dialogues that will improve the learners' speaking and listening skills. What is more, I provide guidance on correct pronunciation and sentence structure to help students construct complete and accurate sentences. Another beneficial approach I employ is the integration of visual aids such as photos, videos, and real-life objects (realia) into my lessons. These aids are used to activate students' prior knowledge and encourage discussion. With my guidance, students can improve their writing, pronunciation, speaking, and listening skills and be well-prepared for CEFR level exams (A1-C2). At the end of the lesson, I will provide them with homework to get further practice and be fully prepared for the next time. In addition, I specialize in nurturing young minds through engaging and effective learning experiences.

About Me
My name is Lila, and I'm a passionate licensed ESL tutor from Greece. Although I'm a non-native English teacher, my love for teaching and my passion for conveying my knowledge to learners help me keep them engaged and satisfied with my lessons. I have taught different age groups and levels of students during my teaching career, from absolute beginners to advanced, so I know how to identify their demands and interests. As for me, I live in a small coastal town near Athens, and I'm an enthusiastic person with lots of interests and hobbies. I like traveling because it allows you to get out of your comfort zone and immerse yourself in new cultures, but it also helps you learn your limits, expand your knowledge of the surrounding world, and respect people's personalities. I love hiking because it helps me discover my limits, respect nature, and love it. Making crafts is another enjoyable pastime, since it makes me creative and proud of my projects.
Moreover, my specialization in teaching Young Learners, from playful preschoolers to curious elementary students, ensures that each lesson becomes an exciting adventure. My interactive and age-appropriate teaching methods, and engaging activities, create a fun and supportive learning environment where young students feel motivated to improve their language skills and develop a strong foundation in English. My teaching methodology is based on my student's age, level, and needs. During our sessions, I put emphasis on speaking and listening through spontaneous oral talks, questions, and small dialogues that will improve the learners' speaking and listening skills. What is more, I provide guidance on correct pronunciation and sentence structure to help students construct complete and accurate sentences. Another beneficial approach I employ is the integration of visual aids such as photos, videos, and real-life objects (realia) into my lessons. These aids are used to activate students' prior knowledge and encourage discussion. Enhancing the immersive experience, I complement these with stimulating exercises and quizzes, solidifying your language acquisition after prepping the study materials. In the end, I encourage my students to engage in meaningful tasks and activities that promote speaking and writing skills by drawing inspiration from real-life scenarios. In my lessons, you will feel comfortable making mistakes, as they are a natural part of the learning process. I am here to assist you in reaching your goals, whether they are professional, for communication purposes, travel, exam preparation, or personal development.
