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 !!

Preparation for TCF Canada, DEFL and DAFL for all levels.

I have a master's degree in business engineering and international trade, a certification in French as a Foreign Language and a master's degree in teaching.

I can help you write your CV and cover letter, and practice for job interviews.

I offer sessions adapted to the needs and pace of each learner.

Methodology :
- Initial assessment: For each support I will carry out a diagnostic assessment to identify the student's strengths and weaknesses in the subject concerned (mathematics, French, science, etc.).
- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.
- Regular monitoring: I plan regular assessments to adjust the learning method and adapt the pace of the lessons.

So what are you waiting for? Join me for an unforgettable adventure!

Hoi! Ik ben een 17-jarige tweetalige student uit Spanje en spreek vloeiend Nederlands en Engels. Ik zit in mijn laatste jaar van mijn A-levels (VWO) en heb mijn IGCSE’s al afgerond op een britse school. Hierna wil ik graag een opleiding tot leraar volgen.

Ik geef online Engelse lessen aan kinderen op basisschoolniveau. Ik kan helpen met spreken, lezen, woordenschat, uitspraak, grammatica en Engels voor school. Ik kan de lessen in het Engels geven en waar nodig in het Nederlands uitleggen.

Mijn lessen zijn ontspannen en aangepast aan het niveau en de leeftijd van ieder kind. Ik wil Engels vooral leuk maken en kinderen helpen om meer zelfvertrouwen te krijgen. 😊

**English**

Hi! I’m a 17-year-old bilingual student living in Spain, and I speak fluent Dutch and English. I’m currently in my final year of A-levels and have already completed my IGCSEs at a british school. After school, I would like to study to become a teacher.

I offer online English lessons for primary-school children. I can help with speaking, reading, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and school English. Lessons can be taught in English, with explanations in Dutch when needed.

My lessons are relaxed and adapted to each child’s age and level. I want to make learning English enjoyable and help children become more confident. 😊

Is your child changing school systems, preparing to enter a French- or English-speaking school, or simply looking to become more confident in speaking and writing? I design a tailored programme in French or English. 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 🇫🇷
Who it's for: children and teenagers (primary, middle and high school), in international schools, moving between two systems or catching up.
Children who change schools and countries often are remarkably capable, but they rarely get to build a stable sense of "this is my place." In each lesson, your child practises speaking with confidence, leading part of the session, defending an idea and reflecting on their own progress. The goal is not only a stronger level in French or English, but a child who walks into a new classroom knowing they have something to say.
How I work: a first diagnostic lesson to identify level and goals, followed by a personalised learning plan. Every session is prepared for your child: conversation, reading, writing and study skills. Parents receive regular feedback.
My background: bilingual English-French, teaching experience in France, Finland (non-formal education) and an elite international school in Switzerland.
I take a limited number of students to guarantee quality follow-up.
To start, book a first diagnostic lesson.
🇫🇷 🇬🇧🇨🇭

As soon as you book your session, don't worry about your child's homework.

Fun lessons led by educational games, to learn grammatical rules, verb conjugation and especially communication.
