Improve your English with qualified, American English teacher

From 66 C$ /h

Would you like to improve your English? Are you a beginner? Elementary? Advanced C2 even? I have over 15 years experience teaching in universities, training centers, schools, and in private classes both off and online. I have a bachelors of linguistics from the Sorbonne, and the TEFL certificate. If you need help preparing the TOEFL, IELTS, TOEIC, GRE, GMAT, FCE, or any test in English, I have years of experience helping students prepare these and other tests too.

All my materials are part of the learning experience and are offered free of charge. I use books (a lot!), videos from the internet, news articles, etc. I can help you immensely, regardless of what part of the language you're improving. If it's vocabulary, writing, speaking, reading, pronunciation, accent, listening, etc.; or if you need help with some particular field, such as Business English, or some register of English in particular, it makes no difference to me. Again, I have extensive experience in ESL and am comfortable with both group and private lessons.

I currently offer classes online via Zoom or Skype and give and correct homework.

About Me

Hi, my name is Justin, I come from Seattle, Washington, in the US. I've been a teacher for over 15 years. Learning with me is simple and fun because I'm patient and enjoy meeting new people and helping them get better at English. I also use a lot of different sources! (A lot!) I have countless books that will definitely help you, as well as internet references for video clips, news articles, and more.

I've got extensive experience in ESL, and am now expanding my profile online. You can check out my site at theenglish.school, if you like.

To give you an example of some of the profiles I am currently working with:

One of my students is named Lola, who is a 16 year old student who needs help improving her ability to write and analyze literature and poetry. Another student is named Gaetan, who is an architect and who is learning English because he's preparing to adopt a child from Canada. Another one of my students is named Alexis, who is a senior in high school and is preparing for an entry test in a university in France, part of which is in English. I currently work with several students and as you can see get to know them and remember who they are. My classes are all personal and I care if you're getting something out of it versus just showing up. I have worked with top journalists, police officers preparing missions abroad, diplomats, doctors immigrating to Dubai and the US, dentists, lawyers, etc. There isn't anyone in particular I won't work with.

Education

Bachelors of Linguistics from the Sorbonne. TEFL certificate.

In my "licence" I learned all the basics of linguistics: Semantics, syntax, phonology, phonetics, grammar, lexicography, etc. I've also studied briefly a variety of other languages, such as Ancient Greek, Latin, Vietnamese, and some east European languages too. The degree was a lot of fun and much harder than I had thought it would be.

Getting my TEFL was really easy as I had already mastered the grammar of my language long before, and had been training as a teacher too. It nonetheless taught me the importance of preparing classes, working in different environments, and understanding important techniques in teaching, such as making the most of talking time, eliciting, and optimizing the environment so that students get the most out of the experience both in and outside of the classroom.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

Hello everyone,
My name is Phillip. I am an experienced, native bilingual (USA/Switzerland) English teacher. Today, I am pleased to guide you in your learning from my office located in the wild and inspiring setting of western Ireland.

With many years of experience as a private tutor, I work with students from all backgrounds. However, over time, I have developed an approach that is particularly appreciated by seniors and retirees. Why? Because I am convinced that learning a language at this stage of life should first and foremost be a shared pleasure, a window onto the world, and a wonderful way to keep the mind sharp and curious.
My approach: Trust and kindness above all

Many of us have somewhat rigid memories of school learning. With me, forget the stress of mistakes or tedious grammar. My primary goal is to restore your confidence. We progress at your pace, with a gentle, patient, and personalized teaching approach. Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to refresh your old school memories, I adapt completely to your needs.

What we can explore together:
- Travel English: So that your next trip abroad is synonymous with serenity (getting around, ordering in restaurants, communicating with locals without apprehension).

-Maintaining family ties: Ideal if you have bilingual grandchildren or grandchildren living abroad and you want to share more with them.

-Conversation & Culture: Discuss current events, literature, history or life in Ireland, while enjoying my clear and easy-to-understand native accent.

-Brain gymnastics: Using English as a fun and stimulating tool to maintain memory and cognitive plasticity.

Why choose me?
As a dual American and Swiss national living in Ireland, I bring a unique cultural richness to your life. I have a mastery of all the nuances of the English language, but I also have a perfect understanding of French culture and structure.

Practical and technological aspects:

We'll work together via Zoom or Google Meet, very simple and reliable tools. If you're worried about the technology, don't be: I'll guide you step by step during our first session so you feel completely comfortable on screen. It's much simpler than it seems!

Join me for a friendly and engaging experience, blending Swiss rigor, American optimism, and the legendary warmth of Ireland. Let's transform your English practice into a truly enriching human adventure.
Nice to meet you,

Phillip

Online English Lessons – A1 to C2 | Learn with Confidence, Achieve Your Goals!

**Improve your English. Build your confidence. Achieve measurable results.**

Are you looking to improve your English for everyday communication, career development, academic success, travel, or personal growth? My online English lessons are designed to help learners at every level, from **A1 (Beginner) to C2 (Proficiency)**, develop their skills and achieve their individual goals.

With **7 years of teaching experience**, a **Level 5 TEFL Certification**, and a **Master’s degree in Human Resource Management**, I bring together practical English teaching, structured learning, and an understanding of professional communication to create lessons that are engaging, supportive, and results-oriented.

### 📚 Courses for Every Level: A1–C2

**A1 – Beginner**
Build a strong foundation in English. Learn essential vocabulary, basic grammar, greetings, introductions, and everyday expressions. Develop the confidence to communicate in simple situations.

**A2 – Elementary**
Expand your vocabulary and improve your understanding of everyday English. Practise discussing familiar topics, describing experiences, asking questions, and handling common real-life situations.

**B1 – Intermediate**
Develop greater fluency and independence. Learn to express opinions, describe past experiences, discuss future plans, and communicate more confidently in social and professional settings.

**B2 – Upper Intermediate**
Improve your speaking fluency, listening comprehension, and accuracy. Develop the ability to participate in discussions, express complex ideas, understand a wider range of texts, and communicate effectively in the workplace.

**C1 – Advanced**
Refine your English for advanced academic, professional, and social communication. Focus on nuanced vocabulary, complex grammar, natural expression, presentations, discussions, and clear, persuasive communication.

**C2 – Proficiency**
Polish your English to an exceptionally high level. Work on precision, subtle differences in meaning, idiomatic expressions, sophisticated vocabulary, and effective communication in demanding academic, professional, and social contexts.

### 🎯 Target-Based Learning with Achievable Goals

My lessons are designed around **your goals, your current level, and your progress**. Rather than following a one-size-fits-all approach, we will establish realistic, measurable learning targets to help you see your improvement over time.

Your personalised learning plan may include:

- **Clear learning objectives:** Know what you are working towards in every lesson.
- **Achievable weekly and monthly targets:** Break larger goals into manageable steps.
- **Practical speaking practice:** Apply what you learn to real-life conversations and situations.
- **Grammar and vocabulary development:** Strengthen your accuracy and expand your range of expression.
- **Regular progress reviews:** Identify your strengths, address challenges, and adjust your learning plan when necessary.
- **Confidence building:** Develop the skills to communicate more naturally and independently.

For example, a beginner might aim to introduce themselves confidently within two weeks, while an intermediate learner might work towards delivering a short presentation or participating more actively in workplace meetings. Goals will be tailored to your starting point, available study time, and individual needs.

### 💼 English for Professional and Career Development

Alongside general English, I can help learners develop communication skills for professional environments, including workplace conversations, meetings, presentations, interviews, CV-related language, and professional correspondence.

My Master’s degree in Human Resource Management supports my understanding of workplace communication and career development, making these lessons particularly valuable for professionals who want to improve their English for career advancement.

Hi! I'm a university student from New York, currently pursuing a degree in Information Technology and Management at the University at Buffalo. As a native English speaker, I'm excited to help students from around the world develop their English language skills!

I specialize in helping children and teenagers improve their conversational English, pronunciation, vocabulary, reading comprehension, writing, and grammar. My lessons are best suited for students who already have a basic understanding of English and are looking to strengthen their existing skills.

**My Teaching Approach**

I believe every student learns differently, which is why I tailor my lessons to each student's individual needs, interests, and learning goals. I begin by getting to know the student, assessing their current English abilities, and identifying areas where they would like to improve.

My lessons combine structured learning with interactive activities to keep students engaged. Depending on the student's needs, lessons may include everyday conversations, pronunciation exercises, vocabulary building, reading comprehension, grammar practice, and writing activities. I also offer support with school English assignments and help students develop stronger communication skills.

I strive to create a welcoming, patient, and encouraging environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes, and practicing their English without fear of judgment.

My goal is not only to help students improve their English but also to build their confidence so they can communicate naturally and independently in everyday situations and academic settings!
