English language (academic, business, conversational); university-level English

From 34.99 C$ /h

English is fun! My 5-year experience of English tutoring is here to turn boring grammar rules into an interesting journey. I strongly believe motivation is a key to mastering a language: my task No1 is to make sure my student is motivated to learn English.
We will unpack your goals and set both short- and long-term targets in order to achieve them. We will be approaching the language from all possible angles of learning: reading, listening, speaking, and writing.
To those aiming at studying at a university in English, I have my own strategy to share! Academic English is not as scary and complex as it seems; while writing academic papers can seem like a tricky task at first, constant practice and good guidance can do wonders. I am here to help and guide you!

International Relations / Political Science / International Law / World Politics

41.66 C$ /h

Do you need help with navigating the major schools of International Relations (realism, liberalism, constructivism)? Do you struggle with understanding the ongoing political developments on both global and domestic scales? Do the subtleties of International Law seem challenging? In my class, we can thoroughly unpack all the difficulties these questions pose.

I am a graduate student of International Relations at Central European University (CEU) in Vienna, Austria. The coursework I have undertaken during my undergraduate and graduate studies has allowed me to gain a comprehensive understanding of the following academic fields: International Relations, Political Science, and International Law. Additionally, my professional experience of working at the 73rd session of the United Nations General Assembly First Committee has awarded me first-hand inside knowledge of the most global international organization - the United Nations.

Academic Writing training in English (high school/university students, exams, job search goals)

41.66 C$ /h

Academic writing can seem like a challenging task. However, I believe there are tools you can easily master in order to turn academic writing into an enjoyable (!) activity. My vast experience of writing countless well-graded academic papers is here to walk you through consistent writing practice. In my class, we will unpack various questions regarding writing styles, research techniques, successful paper structures, quality content, as well as the art of convincing argumentation. I am also offering my detailed feedback on the academic pieces in progress.

Dear student/Querido alumno

My name is Denise I’m a Mexican Spanish as Foreign Language tutor (ELE Español Lengua Extranjera as acronym) certified by "Escuela Internacional Cervantes" with a Bachelor in Spanish Literature by the University of Nuevo León Mexico (UANL).

I started teaching and tutoring Spanish at a very young age helping my colleagues from High School achieve better scores and later I formalize this activity while finishing my university studies.
For the last seven years, I’ve been teaching Spanish in America and Europe to a broad variety of students: children/teenage tutoring, in-company adult students, online orientation and freelance translation for diverse projects.

I follow a flexible method adapting to the student’s level and personal goals.
During our classes the student will receive exercises, activities and extra resources as a plus for their class time.
My tools are diverse: textbooks, videos, podcast, newspapers, etc.
We can also discuss politics, arts, fashion or your favorite topic in order to develop your verbal or grammatical skills.

I invite you to contact me so we can achieve our learning goals together.
Denise

I offer you a new learning experience.

The focus is on practical application and theory is only introduced where intuition reaches its limits.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, my tailor-made lessons will accelerate your language acquisition in a positive learning environment.

You can book a complete course with regular sessions or individual lessons to overcome a specific problem, such as pronunciation or a particular point in grammar.

Learning a foreign language is not a linear process that consists of memorising a list of words, and speaking a foreign language is not an oral translation exercise.

There are two types of approaches to acquiring knowledge:

When asked what year follows 1999, you can immediately answer 2000 without having to think for a long time and, above all, without having memorised each number individually, starting with 1, 2, 3 ... You know that numbers are formed according to a certain pattern. With only ten digits, you can form an infinite number of numbers and always know which number comes next.

When it comes to the alphabet, words and sentences, it's more or less the same, but school pedagogy, school textbooks and regular lessons still follow the rote learning approach. In the lessons I propose, you will learn to use patterns because this is more efficient and faster.

Learning is easy, but unlearning bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible.

My offer is aimed at both young people and adults who want to learn German or improve their knowledge without wasting time on nonsensical school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for German. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs. The programme focuses on your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life.

What is particularly important to me:

motivating my students and help them establish a learning rhythm;
encouraging their creativity;
helping them become more familiar with the language;
teaching them the letters and their sounds;
strengthening their memory by training their phonological loop;
teaching sentence building plans instead of memorising sentences;
explaining how language works so that my students can become independent as quickly as possible.

I look forward to meeting you.

Dear Sirs and Madames,

I gave private tutoring for a long time during university.
As a student of human rights and then as a project worker
I have already given language courses for refugees so that they can study successfully. (Learning buddy program: Start with a friend).

Now I teach my native language in Vienna. After my work as a project worker, I was an intern at the Advocacy Section of the United Nations where I was responsible for translations on a daily basis.

In the course of my work, I have worked with other teachers and developed my own teaching methods. In order to guarantee an effective education for the students, I offer varied lessons with oral and written exercises that correspond to the students' goals.

Sincerely yours,
Claire.

My past & present clients have included: professionals and politicians from all four major EU institutions, the Belgian government, the UNHCR, and various NGOs, alongside diplomats, doctors, journalists, and engineers, as well as a variety of other professions in addition to traditional students..I have had over 35+ repeat students on Apprentus (which recently changed their algorithm to only display the last six months).

Approaching from a true native's perspective, I instruct and assist with both educational and business English in a multi-faceted nature covering a wide range of areas including comprehension, conversation, grammar, and situational skills, in addition to working on general language skills and accent training. As well, I can provide extensive help and training with the EPSO, IELTS, and TOEFL exams.

I'm a highly qualified and experienced translator and a language teacher for German and Hungarian. Being a translator and a polyglot enables me to see languages and their grammar systems from a different angle than 'regular' German native speakers or school teachers. Based on my training and my regional expertise I also provide a variety of language support services for German.

I have taught both in the private sector and in numerous language schools, adults and children of different ages. I can offer German to B2 level since I live and work in Vienna for more than 20 years now. I came here to study and made my Bachelor's degree in Transcultural Communication and a Master's degree in Translation and Terminology Sciences at the University of Vienna then settled down with a good man and built a family. I also have a teaching qualification for 'German as a Foreign Language' from the University of Kassel in Germany, and didactic training on the renowned BERLITZ-method for 'Native Speaker Language Teachers'. Usually, I work from home, where I have a vast library of teaching resources such as worksheets, textbooks, picture dictionaries, flashcards, games, and lots of books for Beginners with Hungarian-German-English parallel texts, short stories for Easy Readers, etc.

I use varying tutoring approaches, because no two learners are alike, whereby enjoyment is an important factor in my lessons. I very much like to use the latest technology and teaching techniques, but also have an extensive compilation of German-language games, cards, songs, short stories, videos. I'm fond of and really appreciate internet sources to teach German, for I do believe that learning German can be fun. I aim to foster a friendly but professional relationship with each of my students, to build their confidence and self-belief when they learn a new language. German can be an extremely challenging language and as an experienced German tutor, I really can help you learn it.

A private tutor is there to provide the support you need to enhance your language skills, especially your communication skills, and give you confidence in speaking the language. One-to-one language lessons can make grammar become far more accessible, together we'll sharpen your passive skills in reading and listening, and practice your active skills in speaking and writing.

* Why choose me? *
20 years of teaching experience
A multitude of Teaching/Learning Materials
Explanation in English, German or Hungarian
University trained translator and language teacher
Flexible schedule, available also on Saturday and Sunday
Very patient and always supportive, with a good portion of humor
1-to-1 classes in Vienna 2nd, outdoors in the city center, and online

The English language is increasingly becoming an essential skill. I plan my lessons individually and orientate myself towards your goals. If you want to work from your school textbook, use online resources, or have a less structured conversational class, we can make it happen. Achieving confidence and motivation is key.

I am a native English speaker from Scotland with a TEFL qualification. I have tutored over 100 children aged 7-17 with various organisations, most notably the American International School in Vienna.

Hello, I am Haya from Jordan and I am a translator with a Master's degree in Intercultural Communication from Fulda University of Applied Sciences in Germany.

I am also a skilled translator, with proficiency in English, German, and Arabic.

As an experienced Arabic tutor and translator, I have a deep understanding of the Arabic language and culture. I have spent the last 8 years teaching Arabic as a foreign language to people of all backgrounds and levels.

I pride myself on my ability to tailor my teaching approach to meet the specific needs and goals of each of my students. Whether you are a beginner just starting to learn Arabic, or an advanced learner looking to refine your skills, I am committed to providing personalized instruction that will help you achieve your language learning goals.

I offer individual English lessons for children, teenagers, and adults. Having graduated from the American International School in Vienna, English is practically my native language. For over two years, I have been supporting learners in preparing for school assignments, tests, entrance or final exams, and also help them improve general language skills and fluency. My lessons combine interactive methods, active speaking, and customized exercises for effective and motivating learning. Russian can also be included upon request.

I specialize in helping students improve their English speaking skills and supporting them with schoolwork. My lessons focus on practicing conversation, building confidence, and developing clear, natural communication. I bring international experience, having taken summer language courses in England and Canada, and I’ve been speaking English daily with native and non-native speakers for the past five years. Alongside conversation practice, I can also help with school tasks such as speaking exercises, reading practice, and grammar support. Every class is adapted to your needs so you can progress quickly while feeling supported and motivated.

Ciao a tutti!

My name is Chiara and I'm a qualified italian teacher for foreigners with a DITALS certification taken by the school "Leonardo da Vinci" in Florence. After having passed my exam, I have done an internship in the same school and then I have worked here for a while. During this experience, I had the possibility to work with people from all around the world offering them classes that matched their desires: from A1 to B2. Therefore, more than once I have helped my students to pass the CILS exam, in order to achieve the Italian citizenship. Right now, I'm located in Vienna, but I can offer the lessons also online, of course. Lessons will be prepared based on the students' wishes and objectives. I am really looking forward to meeting you and discovering the fascinating world of the Italian language together :)

MATHEMATICS:
I have been tutoring in English and math for years with considerable success. I primarily work with students in grades 4 through 12, but I also enjoy tutoring university students. Additionally, I have experience with students with dyscalculia and am happy to adapt my methods to the individual strengths and weaknesses of each student.
I am currently studying statistics at the University of Vienna, which continuously deepens my understanding of the subject.

ENGLISH:
I grew up bilingual in English and German, which is why I understand well where and why certain difficulties arise. I have been tutoring my classmates in English since 2022, and since 2024 I have been officially tutoring students from level A2 to C2. I place great emphasis on expressiveness and language immersion.
