Our Side by Side STORY RIDE with Christine and Poppy

From 39 C$ /h

Story: I KNOW AN OLD LADY WHO SWALLOWED A PIE
Theme: Sequencing for our comprehension and DESSERT! Come prepared to discuss your favorite dessert!

Who is ready for some pumpkin pie with Thanksgiving coming up? We find out that the old lady does in the book, I Know an Old Lady Who Swallowed a Pie., does love PIE! This is a funny story about an old lady with a HUGE appetite. Based on the classic book about the old woman who swallowed a fly, this retelling with a twist features an old lady attending a Thanksgiving dinner who swallows a pie, then a whole squash, and the rest of the things she ate will surprise you. We will be working on comprehension, specifically sequencing. The ability to sequence events in a text is a key comprehension strategy. It enables retelling, which in turn enables summarizing. It promotes self-monitoring and rereading.We sequence all day long as we decide what we need to do first, second, and last. We understand events in our lives by understanding the order in which they occur. I look forward to sharing this book with you.

Mindfulness and Well-being for Children to Reach Their Full Potential

49 C$ /h

Learning mindfulness is an important piece in any life. It helps us to learn coping skills that will be able to integrate as they develop. This class introduces the practice of mindfulness, movement, visualization and expression. Mindfulness is practicing the ability to cultivate moment-to-moment awareness of an individuals experience and present circumstances. This class includes an active yoga practice, breathing strategies, exercise and a drawing activity for ages 6-10 years old. We believe that practicing mindfulness is a life skill as well as an academic skill. This evidence based approach of learning brings an increased development of focus, self-awareness, empathy and coping skills. This class consists of 3 building blocks of information to fully allow the child to fully engage and retain. We look forward to seeing you in class!

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.

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。

We’ll focus on:
• 💬 Real conversation practice for daily and business situations
• 🎧 Listening and pronunciation for clear, natural communication

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.

I am a master student in quantitative economics and all of my courses are given in English. My goal is to help the student in solving the exercises and to understand the theory but above all to give an effective working method to make him independent in the pursuit of his studies.

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 !!

I am a FLE (French as a foreign language) teacher in training centers, associations, and remotely for foreigners who wish to learn French.
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 use fun and interactive methods with lots of language practice.
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!

Emilie

My name is Emilie and I am a veterinary medicine student. I also hold a Master's degree in health technologies and have almost 10 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry, including some time in a training-oriented role.

This experience has taught me to make sometimes complex concepts clearer, more structured and accessible, but also to adapt to very different learning styles. Some students need a diagram, a concrete example, to rephrase things aloud, or simply to proceed step by step.

Patient, organized, and attentive, I aim to provide a supportive environment where students can ask questions without fear of making mistakes. My goal is to help them progress, gain confidence, and acquire methods they can then use independently.

I primarily offer academic support from middle school to the final year of high school, particularly in science subjects, as well as English tutoring.
