Private English Lessons from a Teacher Graduated from Foreign Language Education at Boğaziçi University

From 6 C$ /h

The content of my lessons totally depends on my students. The content and process of my courses will be based on your wishes and needs (Business English, English for personal purposes, preparation for specific exams, spoken English, English for research paper / essay writing, etc.). I teach my lessons in an energetic and interactive way. I avoid teaching by memorization and prefer to teach my students the logic behind certain structures, and how/why/when to use it. Apart from my own lessons, I try to make the learning process more natural and fun by using movies, music, various applications and sites when needed.

About Me

Hi!
My name is Dennis, I'm Dutch and I moved to Turkey when I was 6 years old. Therefore, both Dutch and Turkish are my native languages. I know English at C2 level and Spanish at B1 level. The reason I put an emphasis on this is the fact that since I know the language learning process very well, I know at what I have to pay attention to while teaching and where my students might have difficulties. I am a senior Foreign Language Education student at Boğaziçi University. In terms of my teaching experience, I had both corporate and personal business experiences over a period of 2 years. During these 2 years, I have worked in jobs such as a volunteer English teacher at TOÇEV, a summer camp assistant English teacher at TEVİTÖL, and my current English private lesson that has been going on for 6 months now.

Merhaba!
Adım Dennis, Hollandalıyım ve 6 yaşındayken Türkiye'ye taşındık. Dolayısıyla, hem Flemenkçe hem Türkçe ana dillerim. İngilizceyi C2 seviyesinde, İspanyolcayı B1 seviyesinde biliyorum. Bunu dile getirmemin sebebi, dil öğrenme sürecini çok iyi bildiğim için, öğretirken nelere dikkat etmem gerektiğini ve öğrencilerin hangi noktalarda zorlanabileceğini biliyorum. Boğaziçi Üniversitesi İngilizce Öğretmenliği son sınıf öğrencisiyim.
Deneyimlerim açısından 2 senelik bir süre içinde hem kurumsal hem de kişisel iş deneyimlerim oldu. Bu 2 sene içinde TOÇEV'de gönüllü İngilizce öğretmeni, TEVİTÖL'de yaz kampı yardımcı İngilizce öğretmeni ve şu an devam eden 6 aylık özel dersim gibi işlerde çalıştım.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

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 !!

I am a trained French teacher with a degree in linguistics. I have been teaching since 2012 and I support candidates in improving their French and preparing for official exams.

The preparation is fully tailored to your level, the date of your exam and the skills you need to strengthen.

We are working on the different challenges:
- listening comprehension;
- understanding of written texts;
- written production;
- oral production.

The goal is not only to improve your French, but also to understand what examiners expect and to learn how to respond effectively to exam instructions.

Depending on your needs, we can work on methodology, organization of ideas, argumentation, grammar, vocabulary, time management and correction of written or oral productions.

Exercises and practice topics may be offered between lessons to track your progress and identify areas that require more work.

As the exam approaches, we can also carry out simulations under conditions close to the real test, particularly for oral production.

Before we begin, simply tell me the diploma and level you are preparing for, the scheduled date of the exam, and the difficulties you wish to work on as a priority.

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
