About Me

I am currently studying the Master in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language at UNIR. Without a doubt, I feel very fortunate to have found what I am passionate about and to make it my job.

I have always had an interest in teaching Spanish. However, this feeling was accentuated when I had the opportunity to study in Beijing thanks to the international mobility plan of the University of Seville. This experience gave me the possibility of having contact with a culture totally different from the Spanish one, which allowed me to have a more open mind towards a world today globalized. In addition, I graduated from the Degree in East Asian Studies, so I would like to combine my previous academic knowledge with everything that I am learning in the master.

If there is something that characterizes me, it is that I am 100% involved in everything I do. I am hardworking and creative. I like to constantly learn about what I do not know and I put all my energy into working on what excites me.

Education

I finished my University Degree in East Asian Studies from the University of Seville and I am currently studying the Master's Degree in Teaching Spanish as a Foreign Language from UNIR.

Experience / Qualifications

I did my Master's internship at the Malaca Instituto (Malaga, Spain) and I had the experience of teaching Spanish at various levels.

For the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.

You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.

My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.

In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.

What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!

In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.

I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!

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 !!

Hello !
Currently a second-year undergraduate student in languages (English and Spanish) at the University of Lille, I offer private lessons, homework help and academic support.

What I propose:

- Primary & Secondary School:
> Comprehensive homework help: regular support to ensure proper understanding of lessons and homework.
> Support in general subjects: review of the basics (mathematics, French...), organizational methods and practical exercises to progress with confidence.

- Middle School & High School:
> English & Spanish: strengthening of grammatical foundations, enrichment of vocabulary, work on pronunciation and training in oral and written expression (preparation for tests, continuous assessment, general fluency).

- Special High School – STMG Track:
Having myself obtained a STMG baccalaureate, I am thoroughly familiar with the curriculum and requirements of this track. I can therefore effectively support and guide first and final year STMG students in their specific subjects, exam methodology, and baccalaureate preparation.

My method:
Patient, attentive, and caring, I adapt each session to the student's pace. My goal is to restore their confidence, teach them effective study methods, and help them progress smoothly.
Lessons can take place at your home or via video call, depending on your preference. Feel free to contact me to discuss your needs!

I tailor my lessons to each individual student. I base my teaching on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), which allows for structured learning progress with clear guidelines.
We determine your current level and then work step by step according to your needs. We practice listening and reading comprehension, spoken and written language, grammar, and pronunciation using practical exercises in realistic conversation situations.
You'll be exposed to the language from the very first lesson. If needed, we can converse in English to clarify questions and facilitate learning.
When preparing my lessons, I always take into account the specific needs of the student (e.g., lessons preparing for a trip differ from those preparing for university studies). I use up-to-date and varied learning materials such as books, audio recordings, videos, podcasts, interactive exercises, and digital resources.

My goal is for the student to develop confidence, fluency, and understanding of the Spanish language in a respectful, motivating, and effective learning environment.

A native Russian speaker with a degree in Hispanic Studies from a leading UK university and near-native proficiency in English. I currently teach Russian online for London-based language school, helping English-speaking learners develop their language skills with confidence and clarity.

My lessons are designed for English speakers who want to learn Russian with a tutor who understands both languages and can explain the differences clearly in English.

If you are a complete beginner, we will start with the Cyrillic alphabet, pronunciation, and useful everyday expressions, speaking Russian from the very first lesson. If you already have some knowledge of the language, we will focus on developing your speaking speaking skills, expanding your vocabulary, and tackling more challenging areas, such as the Russian cases system and verbs of motion.

Grammar is introduced naturally, through concise explanations and practical examples rather than lengthy lectures. Where Russian and English differ, I will help you understand the underlying patterns so that you can use the language more accurately and confidently.

Tell me about your goals, and I will tailor our lessons to your individual needs, creating a friendly, supportive environment in which you can make steady progress.
