I was a teacher in Portugal. I can teach Portuguese and Spanish because I have a master degree In classic culture, Portuguese and Spanish as well. So I'm certified by the EE.

I also know very good English because I take some curses back in university. But at this language I'm certified just to level B2 (Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.

Italian is my mother tongue, I love its sound, its grammar structure, the culture it expresses.
I hope to pass on to my students my passion and enthusiasm, thanks to the experience I made at university, where I studied ancient Greek and Latin, then working as a teacher in high school, and gaining the DITALS, which is a diploma to teach Italian to foreigners.
I have experience with students of different levels and age, and I gear each lesson towards my students' goals and preferences.

All Sciences, all curriculums, currently teaching MYP Science. The UK trained, can teach GCSE and A-Level.

I teach all three sciences, from ages 11-18. My lessons involve interactive work, and I make videos for all my students on the topics covered. Students can use and keep the videos for future use and help revise and learn. I make all my own resources and give students lots of opportunities to practice, reflect and talk about issues in the subjects that concern them.

I currently teach middle and high school science in an IB world school and have experience of both MYP and IB tuition.

I am a qualified TEFL teacher. I have a diploma in teaching primary and secondary school learners. I speak several languages myself (English, French, Urdu/Hindi, Punjabi, and a little bit German now).

I know language learning can be hard. I would gladly assist you in this process and make language learning easier for you!

This class is for Indian Classical Music (Vocal).The focus is to learn how to sing with seven easy steps.

So think positive and be relax because Music is the vibration of my beautiful mind which gives positive energy.

Hi, my name is Daria. I am ready to help you with learning English or Russian languages. My English is C1 and Russian is my mother tongue. I am doing my master study in English linguistics and literature at the UZH. My teaching experience is modest, so the hourly rate is negotiable :)

Problems in mathematics or in the English school subject? No problem! I'm Miriam, a sixth year high school student. I've always been passionate about both math and the English language! Since I don't have much to do at the moment, I thought I'd get in touch with all students from 1st to 8th grade. Class to help.

There is no standard course, I like to work in a good mood by adapting to the needs of the student. I held support courses for 1 year at the first and final level.

I will help you speak without fear and become more confident. We can focus on conversation, pronunciation, grammar or anything else.
