Beyond Grammar: Mindful English for Real Conversations

From 26 C$ /h

Learning to speak English fluently is about more than memorizing grammar rules—it's about feeling at ease when you need to use it: in conversations at work, in school, while traveling, or in everyday situations that call for quick, natural responses.

With experience teaching adult professionals on language and travel communication, I focus on building both your language skills and your confidence. My feedback approach draws on mindfulness principles, helping you notice and release the self-judgment or anxiety that often gets in the way of speaking freely, as non-native speakers often feel. Rather than fixating on every mistake, we work on staying present and communicating clearly. I will help you improve your English skills through consistent fluency practice, paired with mindful, constructive correction—so growth feels natural, not stressful.

This class covers practical, real-world English — conversations at work and in school, travel scenarios, and everyday interactions — while also expanding your vocabulary naturally through real conversation, so you leave each session more capable and more at ease using the language.

Extra information

No prior fluency is required — come as you are. Please have a notebook or notes app on hand for vocabulary and phrases. Sessions are conversation-focused, so active participation will help you progress. If you're preparing for a trip or a specific situation (an interview, travel, relocation), let me know in advance so I can tailor our practice accordingly.

About Me

I'm a licensed professional teacher with a TESOL certification based in the Philippines, with experience teaching English both online and face-to-face as a Language and Travel Communication Tutor. I specialize in helping adult professionals communicate more naturally and confidently — whether that's for work, travel, or everyday interactions.

My teaching style is calm, structured, and mindful. Rather than focusing only on correcting mistakes, I use a mindfulness-based approach to feedback, helping students let go of the anxiety or self-judgment that often gets in the way of speaking freely. I believe real fluency comes from feeling safe enough to practice, not from memorizing perfect grammar.

I enjoy working with motivated learners — whether you're a professional preparing for work opportunities, travelers wanting to communicate confidently abroad, or anyone who just wants practical, real-world English rather than textbook drills. My lessons are conversation-focused and tailored to each student's goals, so every session feels relevant and useful.

If you're looking for a supportive, experienced teacher who will help you build real confidence — not just vocabulary — I'd love to work with you.

Education

I have a Bachelor's Degree in English and a Master of Arts in Teaching English in the Philippines. My coursework focused on language teaching methodology, communication skills, and practical strategies for helping learners speak confidently in real-world situations.

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.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

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.
