Ciao! My name is Ada and I am a British trained doctor now living in Roma with my dog. I have been a doctor for over 10 years specialising in general surgery. I have worked for the NHS in the UK and for 2.5 years over in New Zealand. Whilst working as a doctor I really enjoyed supervising and mentoring both medical students and junior doctors. I was an OSCE examiner for the University of Leeds and helped students prepare for their communication examination finals. So if you are a potential medical student, current medical student or a qualified doctor who would like to work in an English speaking country, it would be a pleasure to help you with your medical english. We can focus on history taking, giving information to patients including breaking bad news and presenting to your future colleagues.

For those not medically inclined and just wish to practice their conversational skills in English, I would also love to help you with this. Although I am not a qualified English teacher, I have attended many communication courses as part of being a doctor and it is my native language. I can help you with building sentences, pronunciation, even teach you some accents and slang. I have no regional accent so I am clear and easy to follow. As this is not a language exchange we can focus fully on you and I can give constructive feedback and we can work on any areas you may feel you need help with.

It would be a pleasure to help you so if you feel I can assist, please try me out!

About Me
I enjoy teaching and find it satisfying to watch students develop and grow in confidence.

I like to have fun whilst teaching and my dog may be in attendance also!

I love to travel and have worked in Mexico for my medical elective and travelled to New Zealand with my dog called Earnest (from my favourite Oscar Wilde play - The Importance of Being Earnest). Due to Brexit, we dashed back to Europe spending 11 months in Barcelona and now we are here in Roma (longterm hopefully)!

I am studying Italian in the hope of working as a doctor here in the future.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

英語を学ぶことは、単語を覚えることではなく、自分を表現する力を育てることです。
In my classes, you’ll learn how to speak English naturally and confidently, step by step.

We’ll focus on:
• 💬 Real conversation practice for daily and business situations
• 🎧 Listening and pronunciation for clear, natural communication
• 📝 Grammar and vocabulary explained simply and visually
• 🌍 Cultural understanding to speak English with confidence abroad

I’m a multilingual teacher who lives in Japan and understands the challenges Japanese learners face — especially with pronunciation, sentence flow, and confidence. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, understood, and motivated while learning English you can actually use.

Let’s build your English fluency together — one natural conversation at a time.

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!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!
