    English Tutor: Improving Conversational English and Grammar

    Are you studying english and need proofreading/feedback for one of your assignments? Do you simply need someone to converse with to improve you english conversational skills?

    In this class, you will take part in conversations with a native speaker, learning how to make sentences flow naturally as well as learn terminologies, such as slang, that are not taught in traditional teaching methods. As this is a safe space, mistakes are encouraged as they help with progression, you'll be able to speak in a relaxing and supportive environment. Additionally, as an option, the first 10 minutes of class can be dedicated towards things such as proofreading your writing from an external assignment or going over some questions you have about writing, vocabulary, etc.

    *Please note that your english level MUST be intermediate (or beyond) as this class requires at least some basic knowledge of conversing in English.

    About Me

    Hello!

    My name is Myra and I am currently a university student here in Tokyo!

    I have been teaching english for a few years now, particularly to those of all ages, and absolutely love being able to meet people from all different backgrounds through this type of job. Assisting and cheering on students who are eager to learn serves as my motivation and is what allows me to continue teaching in addition to the academics that consist within my university life.
    As I am a sole believer in using technology for learning, my classes consist of both ipad and computer usages to assure that the content being covered in class is clear and easy to follow along with. Moreover, creating a comforting and supportive environment is my biggest priority which is why there is a lot of flexibility with how the classes operate, and I am always open to requests!

    During my free time, I love to play tennis, cook and take my dog on walks around the neighbourhood.

    I look forward to meeting you!

    Dutch lesson for teenagers & adults adjusted to your needs as a student!
    Firstly, this lesson ensures that you as a student feel at ease! We will first get to know each other a little bit, and then you can tell me what you expect/want in a lesson, or what you specifically need. Step by step, I will ensure you, that you as a student, will learn the Dutch language. You will come to me for different reasons, for example for an integration exam, or because you live temporarily as an expat in the Netherlands and want to learn the language, others enjoy it as a hobby and others come to the Netherlands for love... There are so many reasons! My lessons are tailored to your wishes, you indicate what you want, and I will help you with it, which will make you feel more at ease. From teenage to adult students, from beginner to advanced and in between, I enjoy teaching my classes all over the world! Curious?! Then I hope to see you in my class! Greetings Carolina

    The most important thing for me is that we have fun while learning – that makes everything a lot more fun!

That is of course also possible! Let me know what level you are at now and what you would like to learn. I would love to challenge you, but make sure it is always fun and that you don't have too much at once. The prices stated are for a lesson for 1 person.

Je m'appelle Lucía, je suis professore d'espagnol au Japon 🇯🇵, titulaire d'un master en enseignement de l'espagnol, et passionatenée par l'enseignement. Currently, I am preparing a doctorate in linguistics applied to the language training Je connais bien les défis de l'aprentissage des langues. After studying the core 🇰🇷 pendant trois ans, je suis partie en Corée. Là-bas, je me suis rendu compte que je ne parlais pas aussi bien que je le pensais. This is great for the course of conversation with a native locutor, autour de thèmes variés per semaine, que j'ai vraiment pris confiance. Aujourd'hui, j'applique this method in mes cours d'espagnol, que j'adore enseigner! This new course is entièrement axé sur la conversation. You can speak in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere, and practice the language of nature and effectiveness. You offer a personal return 📝, you help to correct your errors in real time, to improve your pronunciation and enrich your vocabulary. What is your level, you are at your own pleasure! And if you're just starting out, you'll be advised to start with the cours réguliers, or you'll have to play the grammatical and conversational ensemble. No rate for this occasion de faire passer votre espagnol au linie supérieur! 🚀

    Spanish & English Lessons with Erika in Belgium :)
    Teaching is my passion, and as a native speaker, I've had the pleasure of connecting with students worldwide, starting from my experiences in the Czech Republic where I used to teach English to children. We can delve into the intricacies of communication, focusing on what matters to you. I prepare students for tests like DELE and SIELE, tailoring my approach to your unique goals—whether it's acing an exam, exploring the world, or simply diving into language and culture. My lessons take a casual twist—we might stroll around, grab a coffee or tea, and make learning an enjoyable experience. The best part for me is when students express gratitude for our time together. I believe language is more than just words, and I look forward to sharing my perspective with you. Can't wait to meet you and start this language journey together!
