IELTS and Cambridge English exam preparation, Adults English, Business English, Children's English, Chinese, Politics, Sociology, Geography.

From 38.29 C$ /h

I specialise in preparing students for IELTS and Cambridge exams. As an active Examiner I can save you time, money and effort by letting you know all the secrets and tricks of the exams that the books don't tell you: what to do, what not to do and what the commonly made mistakes to avoid are. A bespoke package is designed in order to ensure you pass in the study time available.

Adults General / Business courses are designed for people who have worked hard all day but still want to enjoy English through communication. There is vocabulary-building and some grammar work so you can feel you are making a good investment of your time and will have something to show for it at the end of the course - be it for a business negotiation or as a tourist travelling abroad.

Children's English classes are designed with twin goals in mind. Firstly another dimension in the child-parent relationship is created and secondly time and money on other lessons is saved by enabling both child and parent to communicate and practice together.

Classes aimed at Primary and Teenage learners where two or more may study together are also available. Such classes can either be General English or another school subject taught/reviewed in English. With teenagers this may be for examination preparation.

As I learnt Chinese Mandarin as a foreign language I will have a keen understanding of your needs based on my knowledge of the linguistic differences between Chinese and Western languages. Therefore there is an emphasis on Speaking and Listening as the easier skills.

I can teach you both Politics and Sociology to degree level so please do not hesitate to inform me of the specialist revision or teaching it is you require, be it a high school course or of a module you are studying at university.

The Geography course is designed for either primary or secondary school students who want to review what they have learnt at school in Geography class through the medium of English (CLIL) in my class or for those who want to focus on Geography exam preparation with me.

About Me

I have strong communication skills and am a very good team player who is not afraid of hard work. My time spent teaching from kindergarten to university ages, both in England and abroad, has made me a very patient and creative person who is able to both work well under pressure and use his own initiative. I can deal with emerging situations appropriately and with a calm head. As a much trusted employee I was asked to plan the academic curriculum which included the English language study syllabus as well as organize field-trips and graduation activities.
Prior to this, my time spent working for the universities of both Oxford and Cambridge in the Marketing Department and as a script-checker trained me to work to tight deadlines and showed others my respect for confidentiality by ensuring secure filing. I have also been able to show an eye for detail, liaise well and work with the utmost level of professionalism and responsibility throughout my teaching, management and marketing careers.
I have most recently worked as a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language in Italy where I prepared students for IELTS, TOEFL and Cambridge suite Examinations as well as teaching Business English, General English and Children’s English.

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 :)

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!

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. 😊

✔️ Express your thoughts and ideas more clearly and confidently at work
✔️ Write professional emails that sound clear, polite, and natural
✔️ Speak up more comfortably in meetings and discussions
