I also recommend having a notebook and pen handy so you can take notes and review key points after each session.
If you have specific learning goals—such as improving your conversation skills, pronunciation, grammar, preparing for a job interview, work, travel, or building overall confidence in English—please let me know before our first lesson. This allows me to personalise each lesson to help you achieve your goals as effectively as possible.

And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

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。
In my classes, you’ll learn how to speak English naturally and confidently, step by step.

We’ll focus on:
• 💬 Real conversation practice for daily and business situations
• 🎧 Listening and pronunciation for clear, natural communication
• 📝 Grammar and vocabulary explained simply and visually
• 🌍 Cultural understanding to speak English with confidence abroad

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.

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.

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 !!

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!

Learning with dyslexia, ADHD, or any other learning difficulty can be frustrating. Especially when you are expected to study in the same way as everyone else, despite your brain just working differently. I know this from personal experience.

I am a law student with dyslexia and ADHD, and over the years I have developed practical strategies that have helped me study, stay organised, and succeed academically. I now want to share those tools with children, teenagers and adults who may be facing similar challenges.

For younger students, I can provide homework and study support, helping them understand how they learn best and how to use practical tools such as mind maps, flashcards, digital resources, structured study sessions and focus techniques. If they already have a diagnosis, I can also help them understand the accommodations and learning tools available to them at school and encourage them to become more confident in communicating their needs.

Just as importantly, I understand the frustration that can come from teachers, classmates or others misunderstanding dyslexia, ADHD as well as other learning difficulties. My aim is to create a supportive, judgement-free environment where students can ask questions, experiment with different study methods and build confidence in their abilities.

My sessions are also suitable for adults who were diagnosed later in life, or who never had the opportunity to learn strategies for managing dyslexia or ADHD. Together, we can work on organisation, studying, reading, writing, planning and finding practical systems that fit your everyday life.

English & Italian lessons

I also offer English and Italian conversation, tutoring and study support for students with or without learning difficulties.

Having studied in both the IB/English-language school system and the Italian state school system, I am familiar with the different expectations, teaching styles and challenges students may encounter in both.

In summary, I would love to help with:

English and Italian conversation
Homework and schoolwork
Study organisation and learning strategies
Dyslexia/DSA and ADHD-friendly study techniques
Mind maps, flashcards and free digital study tools
Reading and writing support
Building confidence and independence in studying
Cambridge English exam preparation

My goal is not to force students into one method, but to help them discover the tools and techniques that work best for them and approach academic work and later their professional lives with confidence and security.

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.
