ENGLISH FOR WORKING SKILLS:

I worked as a recruiter for the arts and heritage sector for 8 years in London. During this time I recruited for all sorts of people including:

- Front-of-house teams
- All levels of administration
- Education and outreach specialists
- Graphic, exhibition and digital designers
- Event managers
- Head of Department for the museums and galleries
- Conservators and stonemasons
- Gallery technicians
- Membership sales teams
- Marketing staff
- Curatorial staff
- Tour guides
- and many others

This has led me to have a vast amount of knowledge about how the arts sector works in the UK as well as a true understanding of what employers everywhere are looking for.

During my 8 years as a recruiter, I helped hundreds of candidates with their CV ́s, portfolio ́s, presentations and interview preparation. Although I specialized in the arts, from time to time I was also asked to recruit for other companies that were not in the arts sector.

All of this knowledge is transferable into different industries, and I am more than happy to help you are looking for guidance on how to work in the UK and/or are preparing for an important interview in English in which you would like to have some help with. Moreover, the job you might be looking for does not have to be in the UK, it can be in any country, the main point is that English is the working language and you need to prepare for it.

I have helped many private clients from all over the world fwith their working skills. I have also taught intensive Business and Leadership courses at the world famous international school St Clare ́s Oxford, in the UK in which I have taught students about different management styles, product presentations and business plan writing.

Please feel free to ask me any questions regarding your specific situation and she will be happy to answer.

About Me

Hi, my name is Ana. Over the last 22 years the majority of my professional career has involved working directly and indirectly with the arts and languages. I have lived and worked in Italy, Norway and the UK, and I am currently living and working in Spain which is where I was born.

My mother is English and my father is Spanish, I was spoken to in both languages from the day I was born and therefore I am fully bilingual. I also speak a little bit of French and basic Italian. Moreover, I have often worked as an English and Spanish translator and interpreter. This means that when I am teaching I can often relate to the struggles students might have when learning the language. It also means, that if there is a word that they simply can't understand, I will be able to translate it for them into their mother tongue (but this is only in extreme cases).

I have taught English and Spanish for many years, helping people who were looking to improve their language skills for personal and professional reasons. In 2016, I did a CELTA course (Certificate in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) in order to travel and be able to teach in other countries. I have since then acquired a lot of experience teaching languages for general, business, specific use and exam preparation for adults.

I like to teach those people who want something different, who take their studies seriously and don't only want to learn a language, but they also want to learn about themselves as a human being.

I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years.

The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies.

I have a thorough knowledge of the mathematics curriculum for middle and high school (from 6th to 12th grade). I am also qualified to support students in preparing for international exams such as the SAT, the OMPT, and the International Baccalaureate (IB) in all its variations: Analysis and Approaches (AA SL/HL) and Applications and Interpretation (AI SL/HL).

Throughout my years of training, I studied and developed numerous techniques that facilitate learning mathematics. The strength of my teaching approach lies in my ability to explain, in simple terms, anything a student finds complicated. I am passionate about this profession because it offers me the opportunity to guide struggling students toward success. It is a true pleasure to see them progress and rediscover their connection with the fascinating world of mathematics.

I offer private tutoring in Paris (at the student's home) or remotely (online). My online lessons take place on an interactive whiteboard. This whiteboard is specifically designed to facilitate student/teacher interaction online. Thanks to this teaching tool, my online lessons are just as effective as in-person lessons. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to participate.

Learn to Perfect Your American English Accent and Communication Skills—for Work, Academics, and Everyday Life
Great for Study Abroad and International Students!

“Where are you from? ...No, but where are you actually from?”

I was born and have lived in the United States my entire life (28 years). I lived in the rural Midwestern state of Wisconsin until age 13. Then I lived, attended middle school, graduated high school, and attended university in the major U.S. cities of Chicago, Illinois, and San Francisco, California.

I come from a bilingual home, and my parents speak with an accent—but my American English accent is clear, standard, and natural.

I’m happy to work with you to help you sound more American. This can be extremely useful for English learners who want to communicate more confidently and comfortably in school, at work, and in daily life.

We will cover:
• Accent and pronunciation
• Pacing and rhythm
• Vocabulary and word choice
• Delivery and confidence

All techniques are based on evidence from linguistics and communication studies, so you’ll understand why they work—not just memorize rules. Accent and communication improvement is a science and an art.

I have worked in journalism, speech-language pathology, tourism, and customer service. I have experience in high-academic settings (like museums and graduate seminars) and everyday settings (like working in stores). I am currently working toward a Level 5 TEFL diploma.

I have one semester left in my degree in Spanish and Chinese at San Francisco State University, and I plan to move abroad for graduate school. I have also taken graduate-level classes in Chinese and Spanish. I speak eight languages fluently, and I understand what it takes to make a foreign-language accent sound natural and confident.
I’m warm, friendly, patient, professional, open-minded, and flexible. Every student has a unique journey in language learning, and I will meet you where you are to meet your goals.

Feel free to message me with any questions!

My lessons are always adapted to your goals — whether you want Ukrainian for everyday communication, work, cultural interest, or personal reasons. I explain complex things in a simple way and help students feel confident, even if they are complete beginners.

📍 Lessons are held online, so you can learn Ukrainian comfortably from anywhere in the world.
🗣️ I teach in English (and can adapt explanations to the learner’s level).

Are you going on a trip, Erasmus, university exchange or round-the-world trip soon?
Or do you simply want to feel comfortable and confident in a foreign language for your studies?
I have a Master's degree in Tourism Science and Management, and I offer French, Spanish and English lessons specially designed for travellers and students who want to speak quickly, well and without stress.

Even though I am new to teaching, each session is 100% personalised, dynamic and focused on oral practice. We work on truly useful vocabulary, real-life situations in everyday life and travel (transport, accommodation, meeting people, studies, work), as well as clear and simplified grammar for effective communication. The goal is simple: to help you feel confident speaking from the very first lesson, to improve your fluency and to feel comfortable in real-life situations.

I also incorporate cultural elements and common expressions so that you can express yourself more naturally and authentically. The lessons are aimed at beginners and intermediate learners, with flexible schedules.

The first lesson will allow me to define your project and work with you to build a motivating programme tailored to your goals. Lessons will be tailored to your desires, needs, interests and pace. Communication is the key to success: if a topic or method does not suit you, feel free to let me know, and we will adapt the lesson so that you feel comfortable and enjoy learning. 😊

If you are looking for a professional person, with experience using English in the workplace, with patience, always with a smile and who makes you like English, look no further.

I offer dynamic and fun classes and I also adapt to the needs of the students.
In addition, I have experience teaching students with special needs. I love using gamification to make classes more engaging.

I offer conversation classes to improve speaking and vocabulary :)

You'll learn English without even realizing it and while having fun! We'll develop your listening skills, improve your pronunciation, learn to express yourself in writing, and understand written texts.

We will work together on the skills required by official exams: activities for understanding oral texts, activities for producing and co-producing oral and written texts, activities for understanding written texts and the new competence, mediation activities.

And what's more, we'll learn the language from a cultural perspective to delve deeper into the reasons behind many expressions, phrasal verbs, and idioms. Culture, customs, values, and social conventions will provide the key.

Today's job market requires candidates to certify and demonstrate their English proficiency during the selection process. Companies have grown and become more international, and as a result, English has become the dominant language in this era of economic globalization. English is essential in the professional and work environment across virtually all business sectors.
How about we start learning English and achieve it together?
