Business English, Interview Prep, Academic English, IELTS, Conversation

From 102 C$ /h

After 25 years of teaching English, I've learned that the best lessons happen when students feel genuinely comfortable.
I'm a native British speaker who came to teaching through an interesting path – I started as a linguist and translator, then spent 37 years working as a Naturopathic Doctor and Humanistic Psychologist before returning to my roots in language. This diverse background taught me a valuable lesson: real progress occurs when you understand each learner’s individual needs.

My Approach is Simple
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all lessons. Instead, I tailor my classes to your specific needs. And because I know that sounding natural matters just as much as perfect grammar, I weave everyday collocations into our sessions – the kind of language that makes you sound genuinely fluent, not textbook-perfect.

Why I ONLY Teach Online
Working online allows me to concentrate on my students. It's just you, me and your goals, and working through them.

If you're preparing for an exam or have specific professional needs, let's talk. Let me know what you're working toward, so together, we can figure out the best way to get you there.

About Me

I’m Dr. Kay, a native English speaker from the UK living in Switzerland.

I’m a retired Naturopathic Doctor with 37 plus years in private practice. I also hold several other degrees, including a translation diploma in English, German and French, a Master's in Humanistic Psychology, and a coaching certificate.

After acquiring a diploma in translation for English, French, and German, I worked as a translator at UNESCO in Geneva for a few years before transitioning into a new professional field.

I have 29 years of ESL teaching experience under my belt. This has given me solid ground to stand on. I’ve given private classes to college students, taught ESL in language schools, on an online platform, in banks, and in companies.
Over the years, I've helped over 200 students pass their Cambridge exams, and I've taught more than 4,000 hours online on another platform. But numbers aside, what really matters to me is creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can learn and make progress without pressure.

As a TEFL-certified teacher, I specialise in Business English, IELTS, and TOEIC tests. I enjoy teaching and seeing students achieve the results they want.

I love exploring new cultures and meeting new people. I also enjoy gardening, spending time outdoors in nature, reading, listening to classical music, baking, and making homemade preserves.

Tutoring Business English & Academic Writing, Preparing Students for Cambridge Exams, IELTS, TOEIC tests.

102 C$ /h

I have helped over 200 students passed various Cambridge exams such as FCE, KET, PET, and BEC with high passing grades, as well as giving private lessons to students with specific needs such as improving their pronunciation and conversation fluency.

When it comes to my teaching method, I like to initially find out what the student’s ultimate learning goal is, and consider this before preparing any teaching materials.

It’s important to me that my students feel comfortable and can make progress at their own pace with confidence.
Nonetheless, as I know that becoming skillful at a language requires more than simply improving your grammar, I like to integrate the use of simple everyday colloquial expressions into all my teaching levels.

This not only helps students to expand their vocabulary but also gives them a better command of the language when speaking and thereby helping improve their fluency.

So if you’re preparing for any of the Cambridge exams, IELTS or TOEIC tests or you’re a professional with a specific need, I’m sure I can help you.

I encourage you to contact me. Tell me a little bit about your learning goal and let’s see how we can work together to achieve it.

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!
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 !!

I offer you a new learning experience.

To the uninitiated, a grammar book seems to be written in another language because the meaning of the words is incomprehensible. In a down-to-earth way, I'll translate the grammar into familiar words. With my tailor-made teaching you will accelerate your learning while having a positive mindset.

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 teenagers and adults who want to acquire a solid foundation of the Latin language without the time-consuming diversions of absurd school methods.

I offer individual or group lessons for Latin. The methods are based on cognitive science and, in particular, comparative linguistics. My flexible programme can be tailored to your individual needs.

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.

I offer sessions adapted to the needs and pace of each learner.

Methodology :

- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.
- Regular monitoring: I plan regular assessments to adjust the learning method and adapt the pace of the lessons.

So what are you waiting for? Join me for an unforgettable adventure!

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
