About Me

Hello!
I am a qualified primary school teacher from London, England. I have been a teacher for over 10 years, working mainly in mainstream classrooms as well as a supply teacher, tutor and nanny. During my teaching years, I have worked mainly with the younger children supporting them with the knowledge and understanding of early reading, writing and numeracy skills. I am an extremely, kind, patient and enthusiastic teacher who likes to get to know each pupil to ensure I am able to meet their individual needs. I have now left mainstream teaching to teach children and adults online and have since gained a level 5 TEFL certificate to support the teaching and learning of English as a foreign language. I use a variety of strategies such as questioning, slides, visual resources and actions to help to improve knowledge and build your confidence.

I am teacher who loves travelling, exploring the outdoors and meeting new people from around the world. I am an extremely outgoing and adventurous person and like to try new activities. A few years ago, I went travelling for three years! During this time, I gained my adventurer badge in scuba diving, went sky diving and bungee jumping and even climbed a mountain that was over 6,000m high. I was lucky enough to visit over 15 countries and there are many more I would like to visit. Due to this experience, I now enjoy teaching online as I can meet a variety of people and support everyone, regardless of location.

Experience / Qualifications

Since a young age, I have always had a passion for working, supporting and helping others around me. At the age of 16, I joined college and gained a Diploma in Childcare and Education. During this period, I discovered I wanted to become a primary school teacher and later, I attended Roehampton University and gained a degree in Primary Education in 2011. Since then, I have taught primarily in the Early Years, teaching phonics through programmes such as Jolly Phonics and Bug Club and teaching Year 1 children. I have also taught in Year 4 and whilst working as a supply teacher, I have taught in all year groups so I am confident with the teaching and learning of not only the Early Years Foundation Stage but also the National Curriculum requirements.

Alongside my teaching, I have also tutored many children and adults on a weekly basis, whether this be to help conversational skills in English, support the understanding of early phonics or preparation for primary standardised testing such as SATS, timetables and phonics assessments. During this time, I have planned, delivered and assessed activities to support each pupils' requirements to enable them to reach their goals and fulfil their potential.

I have also worked as a nanny for many families, supporting the children with home learning, school drop off and planning and delivering engaging and fulfilling activities.

The Chomskian Linguistics model: what this course focuses on and how I can help you

The premise: A theory of universal grammar that aims to explain why syntax has the properties it does, and how the human child comes to the world with ‘genetic guidance’ in their native language competence.

This is a cognitive approach to grammar, not merely taxonomic (I am aware that most schools in the UK don’t teach grammar).

Some parts of the theory (which spans 70 years to date) are taught in different universities at different stages of its development. Students have approached me to know more (or clarify) the Minimalist program (1995 onwards) which has aimed to reduce the conceptual apparatus and simplify the theory. We shall look at VPISH (VP-internal subject hypothesis) and VP shells as well as doing away with intermediate projections which have relied on X-bar theory. The latter is still taught at some freshers’ classes. A good grasp of grammatical categories (noun, verb, adverb) will be necessary as well as grammatical functions (predicate, subject, inflection, adjunct). Some courses are still relying on binding and c-command, as well as other theoretical landmarks which are necessary for understanding the evolution of the theoretical model.

Exercises set and essay titles will rely on the student’s targeted requirements (as per their own university). For those who want to prepare for a forthcoming university course, or wish to explore this grammatical model, we shall follow UK authors who have shown a more sympathetic approach to learning.

I am a fourth-year student studying French Studies and I can teach French to students of all ages. My native language is Spanish, but I have lived in France for a year, which has allowed me to acquire fluency and an advanced command of French. This knowledge enables me to teach the language in a didactic and effective way. My pedagogical approach is based on:
1. Personalization of learning: I adapt the pace and content of the classes according to the level and needs of the student.
2. Patience and understanding: I am very patient and strive to create a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable and motivated to learn.
3. Teaching approach: I use a variety of teaching resources and activities to make learning French interesting and engaging.
4. Comprehensive language teaching: my classes cover all the skills necessary to master French (oral and written comprehension, oral and written expression, and grammar).
5. Cultural experience: in addition to the language, I incorporate cultural aspects of France into the lessons to offer a more complete and enriching learning experience.

The Arabic writing system may seem challenging at first glance, but in reality, it’s a beautifully structured alphabet that anyone can learn. With the right approach and a bit of dedication, mastering it takes less time than you might think.

In this class, we will learn and memorize the shape of the letters and their correct pronunciation through listening exercises and writing practice. As we explore the alphabet, we will also dive into Arabic culture and traditions, making the learning process both engaging and meaningful.

After years of teaching Arabic, I created this class to help:

Curious learners who want to explore the Arabic alphabet and pronunciation.
Arabic speakers who never had the chance to learn how to write.
Those struggling with the language and looking for a stress-free way to break the ice.

Hello, my name is Adil, a teacher passionate about languages and specializing in practical and effective French teaching.
With me, there are no boring classes: we learn with a method, with measurable progress.

I help you:

✔ speak more naturally,
✔ Improve your basics and grammar,
✔ Enrich your vocabulary,
✔ to prepare for an exam, an interview or life in a French-speaking country.

I speak French, English and Portuguese, which allows me to understand the difficulties of learners and to explain clearly.

Whether you are a beginner or advanced, I adapt to you.

I have concrete and varied experience in teaching French internationally:

1) As a private French and English teacher in Brazil, I have worked with students of very different profiles (students, professionals, complete beginners as well as advanced levels).

2) Assistant professor in a Brazilian University (UFES), an experience which allowed me to work in an academic setting, to prepare structured educational activities and to support groups of students.

3) As a volunteer teacher with the French Red Cross, I taught French to refugees and people in integration programs. This experience gave me a human, patient, and truly personalized approach to teaching.

Being trilingual allows me to understand the difficulties encountered by a learner and to adapt my courses accordingly.

Regarding my method:

I propose a structured yet accessible approach, based on:

1) Clear objectives from the very first lesson,

2) a personalized progression according to the student's level and pace,

3) a balance between grammar, conversation, vocabulary and comprehension,

English has become far more than just a language; it is the gateway to academic achievement, international business, professional advancement, and global communication. Whether you are preparing academic assignments, conducting business negotiations, delivering presentations, or pursuing higher education, a strong command of English grammar, vocabulary, and academic writing is indispensable. However, many learners struggle with grammatical inaccuracies, limited vocabulary, pronunciation challenges, and difficulties expressing their ideas clearly and confidently. These obstacles often lead to misunderstandings, reduced confidence, and missed academic or professional opportunities. My online English classes are specifically designed to help learners overcome these challenges and transform their communication skills. Through carefully structured lessons, practical language tasks, and personalized guidance, students develop a solid foundation in grammar, enrich their vocabulary repertoire, refine their academic writing abilities, and enhance their spoken fluency.
