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,
My name is Phillip. I am an experienced, native bilingual (USA/Switzerland) English teacher. Today, I am pleased to guide you in your learning from my office located in the wild and inspiring setting of western Ireland.

With many years of experience as a private tutor, I work with students from all backgrounds. However, over time, I have developed an approach that is particularly appreciated by seniors and retirees. Why? Because I am convinced that learning a language at this stage of life should first and foremost be a shared pleasure, a window onto the world, and a wonderful way to keep the mind sharp and curious.
My approach: Trust and kindness above all

Many of us have somewhat rigid memories of school learning. With me, forget the stress of mistakes or tedious grammar. My primary goal is to restore your confidence. We progress at your pace, with a gentle, patient, and personalized teaching approach. Whether you're starting from scratch or simply want to refresh your old school memories, I adapt completely to your needs.

What we can explore together:
- Travel English: So that your next trip abroad is synonymous with serenity (getting around, ordering in restaurants, communicating with locals without apprehension).

-Maintaining family ties: Ideal if you have bilingual grandchildren or grandchildren living abroad and you want to share more with them.

-Conversation & Culture: Discuss current events, literature, history or life in Ireland, while enjoying my clear and easy-to-understand native accent.

-Brain gymnastics: Using English as a fun and stimulating tool to maintain memory and cognitive plasticity.

Why choose me?
As a dual American and Swiss national living in Ireland, I bring a unique cultural richness to your life. I have a mastery of all the nuances of the English language, but I also have a perfect understanding of French culture and structure.

Practical and technological aspects:

We'll work together via Zoom or Google Meet, very simple and reliable tools. If you're worried about the technology, don't be: I'll guide you step by step during our first session so you feel completely comfortable on screen. It's much simpler than it seems!

Join me for a friendly and engaging experience, blending Swiss rigor, American optimism, and the legendary warmth of Ireland. Let's transform your English practice into a truly enriching human adventure.
Nice to meet you,

Phillip

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.

- Vietnamese language: I offer Vietnamese language courses, from basic lessons for travelers to specialized, personalized lessons designed to help you speak Vietnamese confidently.

Math & Sciences: I tutor secondary and high school students in Mathematics, Science, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology. My major is International Teacher Education for Secondary Schools, with a specialization in Science Education.

-Academic writing: I also offer academic writing support at the B2–C1 level, covering everything from reports and essays to research papers.

Hoi! Ik ben een 17-jarige tweetalige student uit Spanje en spreek vloeiend Nederlands en Engels. Ik zit in mijn laatste jaar van mijn A-levels (VWO) en heb mijn IGCSE’s al afgerond op een britse school. Hierna wil ik graag een opleiding tot leraar volgen.

Ik geef online Engelse lessen aan kinderen op basisschoolniveau. Ik kan helpen met spreken, lezen, woordenschat, uitspraak, grammatica en Engels voor school. Ik kan de lessen in het Engels geven en waar nodig in het Nederlands uitleggen.

Mijn lessen zijn ontspannen en aangepast aan het niveau en de leeftijd van ieder kind. Ik wil Engels vooral leuk maken en kinderen helpen om meer zelfvertrouwen te krijgen. 😊

**English**

Hi! I’m a 17-year-old bilingual student living in Spain, and I speak fluent Dutch and English. I’m currently in my final year of A-levels and have already completed my IGCSEs at a british school. After school, I would like to study to become a teacher.

I offer online English lessons for primary-school children. I can help with speaking, reading, vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar and school English. Lessons can be taught in English, with explanations in Dutch when needed.

My lessons are relaxed and adapted to each child’s age and level. I want to make learning English enjoyable and help children become more confident. 😊

Is your child changing school systems, preparing to enter a French- or English-speaking school, or simply looking to become more confident in speaking and writing? I design a tailored programme in French or English. 🇨🇭 🇬🇧 🇫🇷
Who it's for: children and teenagers (primary, middle and high school), in international schools, moving between two systems or catching up.
Children who change schools and countries often are remarkably capable, but they rarely get to build a stable sense of "this is my place." In each lesson, your child practises speaking with confidence, leading part of the session, defending an idea and reflecting on their own progress. The goal is not only a stronger level in French or English, but a child who walks into a new classroom knowing they have something to say.
How I work: a first diagnostic lesson to identify level and goals, followed by a personalised learning plan. Every session is prepared for your child: conversation, reading, writing and study skills. Parents receive regular feedback.
My background: bilingual English-French, teaching experience in France, Finland (non-formal education) and an elite international school in Switzerland.
I take a limited number of students to guarantee quality follow-up.
To start, book a first diagnostic lesson.
🇫🇷 🇬🇧🇨🇭

Get ready for the English you actually need: job interviews, university applications and coursework, social situations, and school homework.

Bring your CV, essay, assignment, or a situation you're nervous about, and we'll work on it together. You'll practice speaking, fix your writing, and understand why each correction is made, so the same mistakes stop coming back.

Homework help covers essays, reading comprehension, and writing.

I'm a native English speaker from the US with a B.S. and M.S. from NYU and a background in professional writing and editing.
Available in person in Milan or online.

As soon as you book your session, don't worry about your child's homework.
