Maritime English for working on board or in a VTS centre. Marlins Test preparation. 🌎

From 45 C$ /h

Hello! 👋

My classes are designed for maritime professionals working on board ships or in VTS. With me, you’ll learn the Maritime English you need to work on ships, in ports, and in VTS centres. My main focus is helping my students build confidence when speaking, so that their English can go with them wherever their career takes them.

My teaching approach is focused on the real and practical use of Maritime English. In other words, we’re not going to learn endless lists of words. My lessons are based on real-life onboard situations that I have created from my own experience as a deck officer. We’ll also make extensive use of audiovisual materials, such as videos, images, and real documents from my time at sea. I want you to finish my classes feeling prepared to work for any shipping company or in any VTS centre. 🌊

I also offer a Marlins Test preparation course based on my own experience as a deck officer. In this course, I prepare you not only for the exam, but also for life on board, by simulating a voyage from Hong Kong to Liverpool. 🚢

Are you ready to come on board and learn English for real? 🌎

Extra information

- I’ll provide you with my own grammar notes covering everything you need to know at each level.
- All the maritime vocabulary will be turned into flashcards with audiovisual material, using the spaced repetition method.
- Marlins Test preparation with audio exercises and practice tests.
- Everything you learn will be useful in your future career.
- Feel free to message me! I'm glad to help you 😄

About Me

My name is Pedro, I’m from Tenerife, and I worked as a deck officer on merchant ships for several years. I’ve travelled all over the world and worked with crews from many different countries. Ever since I started sailing, I’ve always felt that English allowed me to take my ideas and values with me wherever I went, regardless of the place or the crew. Now, I want to teach English so that you can experience the same thing I have experienced over the past few years.

I'm a very friendly and approachable person, and I always try to make everyone who joins my classes feel comfortable. I don’t consider myself strict or grumpy, but I am demanding. In other words, I’m going to get the most out of you so that you can bring out the best in yourself.

Finally, I hope that during our one-to-one classes, you’ll have a great time and laugh a lot too. 🙂

English Conversation Classes & Building Confidence in English 🗣️

38 C$ /h

Hello! 👋

My classes are designed to help you become more confident and fluent when speaking English. Instead of starting with grammar, my goal is for grammar to come naturally from the need to use it when speaking. Studying grammar from the very beginning without a reason or purpose is like building a house from the roof down.

That’s why, in my classes, we kill two birds with one stone: while we build your confidence speaking English, we also learn how to express yourself better and communicate more naturally and effectively. Grammar will come into the picture, of course, but only when there is a real reason behind it.

This is the approach that has given me such good results since I first started teaching my deck cadets on board while working as a deck officer. At sea, it doesn’t matter what nationality you are — we all communicate in English, and the key is having the confidence to speak.

English can help you be yourself wherever you go in the world (I can tell you that from personal experience), and that is my main goal with my classes.

So, are you ready to come on board? 🌎

I am a native American English speaking instructor, editor, journalist, and legal/policy expert from Florida specializing in instruction, interview and exam prep, consulting and text correction for a wide range of professionals & students across Belgium including in the legal, academic, policy, and other fields.

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 50+ 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 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.

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 !!

Learning to speak English fluently is about more than memorizing grammar rules—it's about feeling at ease when you need to use it: in conversations at work, in school, while traveling, or in everyday situations that call for quick, natural responses.

With experience teaching adult professionals on language and travel communication, I focus on building both your language skills and your confidence. My feedback approach draws on mindfulness principles, helping you notice and release the self-judgment or anxiety that often gets in the way of speaking freely, as non-native speakers often feel. Rather than fixating on every mistake, we work on staying present and communicating clearly. I will help you improve your English skills through consistent fluency practice, paired with mindful, constructive correction—so growth feels natural, not stressful.

This class covers practical, real-world English — conversations at work and in school, travel scenarios, and everyday interactions — while also expanding your vocabulary naturally through real conversation, so you leave each session more capable and more at ease using the language.
