About Me

I am a young and energetic teacher who is academically-minded and enjoys discussing topics relating to literature, history, theology and politics. I like to keep my lessons discussion-based when grappling with ideas to ensure the students are able to think for themselves and articulate their understanding of a subject. In addition to this, I like to use writing, reading, performance and videos in my lessons to maximise the student's engagement with the topics, and keep it fun and interesting.

I have experience teaching English, IT and History at a prestigious boarding school in Lebanon, where I taught both classes of children aged 8-11 and one-on-one learning support classes for children aged 8-18. I also have experience teaching children with learning difficulties and naturally, I have received extensive Child Protection Training and DBS Certifications.

I specialize in tutoring math and Spanish for school and higer school.

I'm native Spanish living in Scotland, I can do online or face-to-face classes, I adapt to the needs and levels of the student.
I have been doing private classes in Spain for over 10 years, both to classmates and to seniors.

Spanish classes are tailored as the student wishes:
Doing the subject of mathematics, learning through a conversation, focusing on a specific topic.

I recommend doing classes with grammar, vocabulary and speaking.

I am studying Social Anthropology and Politics at the University of Edinburgh. Classics are one of the biggest interests of mine; I started studying Latin and Ancient Greek languages and literature 6 years ago and I have been teaching for three years. I think studying these languages led me to be more aware of who I am as well as understand what is really worth.
Latin (Ancient greek too) lessons consist of two different parts: grammar and literature.
By studying grammar you are not going to just receive boring notions about the structure of the language, but you are going to deepen processes and rules that form Latin; with this method we are going to discuss about Latin and Greek mindset and then discuss about important themes studied by ancient people in literature. Furthermore, according to your needs and goals, we can exercise on translation of texts.

I'm offering Italian lessons for all levels (beginner, intermediate and advance ). I'm covering grammar, reading, writing and literature too. Italian is my second language as I've spent 5 years in Florence as a kid. Falling in love with Italian language and culture I've decided to study it. I have a Bachelor's degree from Italian language & literature and enjoy giving my knowledge to others. I can travel to your home also. I speak English fluently and can help with your English too as I've attended English lessons since I was six.

I teach Spanish which is my native language and French. I lived in Belgium for 4 years and I also studied the French and Spanish Baccalaureate.
I teach in a dinamic way in order to improve my students level but also to make them love languages because they are very important.

I'm a Turkish bookworm that has been subjected to the in-depth curriculum of the Turkish education system for 12 years. I've been brought up by my author & Turkish literature graduate grandparents, who were ruthless when it came to Turkish grammar/spelling rules.

My experience in academia has shown me that we all learn differently. I prefer tailoring my teaching methods upon learning more about what works for the student.

I'm a Bachelor's degree in Neuroscience from the University of Edinburgh. I work in a research laboratory part-time and have prior experience in teaching conversational Turkish.

This is a Chinese class that can let you learn how to speak good Chinese.

Do not worry if you are a beginner, I can teach you from the beginning.

We will learn some words which we often use in daily life. And we can see some videos in the class if you like because interests are the best teacher!

Wish to have a good experience with you~

As one of the most spoken languages in the world, learning Spanish from an early age can allow children not just to ease into the grammar and spelling but also adapt to correct pronunciation. Being billingual from a personal experience has opened me a tremendous amount of opportunities. From hospitality jobs to work experience abroad. Learning Spanish will also aid in the learning of other languages such as French or Italian. During my IGCSE's, I achieved a Grade of A* (96%), and most of it I attribute to my already fluent level in Spanish.

Classes will follow a progressive increase in level and challenge.
My first class will be analysing their current level and how easy the student grasps the language, and from there set weekly goals for them to reach.
My priority is for them to learn as much as possible the accent and correct pronunciation of the words, followed then by learning of sentence structure.

French is a very beautiful language but this one is rather complex.
I offer fun learning, adapted to the knowledge of the apprentice. The goal here is to progress by taking the time necessary to memorize each notion.
The first course will focus on an assessment of the apprentice's level in order to subsequently offer a personalized program adapted to level.

Hello! I am a university student at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and I am currently in Edinburgh. If you are a beginner or want to improve your Spanish? Don't be afraid to start. My classes are focused on developing your communication and expression skills, they are 100% linguistic immersion.

These are classes that I have taught and in which I have more experience, if you want to learn Spanish to travel, you need to improve your academic grades, conversation-only classes, interesting topics, language reinforcement or you want to improve your communication with your friends/family Spanish speakers.

So that you have an idea of what my classes are like:
o Academic classes we learn grammar and vocabulary, conversation.
o In conversation classes we talk about different topics + expand vocabulary and
We correct pronunciation errors.
o In travel classes we learn about how to ask for directions, ask for prices, order food, etc.

All classes are flexible and adapted to you with the goals you set.
At home, online or at an intermediate point

At any level, English can be a difficult language to master. Whether you're going through primary school or learning how to write, I can help you sharpen your English skills. I am currently a student at The University of Edinburgh, studying for a Masters in Creative Writing. I also have obtained a Bachelor's degree in English, Education, and Business. I would love to help share my knowledge and passion in the written word. My goal is to assist anyone who may need help advancing their English in a positive and supportive way. I may assign work between sessions on a student-to-student basis, cultivating each lesson to meet individual needs.
