About Me
Hi there! I'm Olivia, a language enthusiast with a passion for teaching English and Spanish. Originally from the UK, my journey in exploring diverse cultures began at Munich International School in Germany, where I spent my formative years. Since then, I've been fortunate enough to call several places home, including Spain, UAE, and Thailand.

With extensive experience in teaching English as a second language and as the founder of an online Spanish academy, I've had the privilege to share my passion for language and culture with students worldwide. Through personalized lessons and engaging activities, my goal is to make language learning both enjoyable and effective.

Beyond teaching, my professional journey as a Communications Expert has sharpened my skills in clear and impactful communication. This experience has deepened my appreciation for the profound influence language holds in shaping our interactions and perceptions.

When I'm not teaching or working, you'll often find me immersed in learning new languages, exploring cuisines, and embracing diverse cultures. I see learning as a lifelong adventure, and I'm excited to continue this journey alongside others!

Languages connect us humans and make communication easier.
Be it at school, at work or when traveling, languages play an important role.
In addition, they also enable us to get to know a new perspective and culture, because we spoke to us.
I am passionate about learning languages and teaching them that way :)

Hey! I'm Lisa from France and I'm studying Neuroscience. I propose French class for every level and every age. I'm attentive to your expectation and will help you to learn and understand this language, which, I agree, doesn't make so much sense sometime. Depending on your level, we will go step by step from the basic to more complex gramatical structure and enrich your vocabulary. At the end of this, you will feel confident with speaking, writing and understanding French. Additionally, I can also offer English classes. I've been living abroad for more than 2 years and I studied and still am studying in English. I have the TOEFL certificate for C1 level. Since it's not my mother tongue' I think I can be helpful until the high school level.
I'll bring positive and enthusiastic energy so that you can progress and have fun.
Let me know if you are interested. :)

Each lesson is fully personalized to your level, goals, and specific needs (exams, immigration, work, studies, administrative procedures).

Sessions can focus on:
- DELF, DALF, and TCF exam preparation (practice tests, methodology, assessment criteria, oral and written simulations)
- French for immigration and naturalization
- Administrative French (forms, letters, understanding official documents)
-Professional and business French (emails, meetings, interviews, industry-specific vocabulary)
-Improving speaking skills, pronunciation, and fluency
-Strengthening grammar and vocabulary in context

The lessons are dynamic, structured, and interactive, with a strong emphasis on speaking practice. I use authentic materials: exam topics, administrative documents, articles, videos, and professional dialogues.

Thanks to my experience as an oral exam jury member and as a DELF, DALF, and TCF examiner, I will help you understand exactly what examiners expect and adopt the right strategies to succeed.

Regular follow-up is provided, with clear objectives and detailed feedback to track your progress and build confidence.

Ive been working as a professional music teacher (ukulele & vocal) since 2009 working with individual clients as well as group workshops in various institutions including the EPO, Music Akademie Süd, Swing and the City, Ente 39 etc. As I grew up bilingually (English/German) I have been teaching both in English and German and hold a Cambridge Proficiency Certificate. I am also a published writer of poetry and art. Recently I have started to take on private work as a translator and am now offering English and German conversation on all sorts of topics, creative contexts and settings for all those who wish to improve their language skills.
Language is a powerful tool and can shape the way we perceive and interact with the world. I enjoy making learning a creative explorative and personal experience, which has, i believe the greatest and longest lasting impact on the student.

I have been teaching math for about 10 years and am an engineer by qualification. I tailor the classes according to the students needs and can make it challenging or easy as required. My strengths include patience, excellent communcation skills, graphical explanation ability and the use of computer based tools to enable clear understanding of fundamental concepts. A typical class would involve teaching basic concepts, then moving on to solving a few example problems along with the student, and finally ending with the student solving a few problems on their own.
I also speak fluent German and can switch when needed

Passionate about language learning, I adapt my lessons to suit my pupils.
I am currently studying a masters in sciences of learning at Munich so learning for all ages is my passion!
Last year wihtin French primary schools, I brought an interest for the English language at the same time to pupils who remained mute and were known for being behind in class, to pupils who were constantly dissipated and highly performing native speakers.
I use both fun and academic methods to enthuse my students while developing their linguistic foundations.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions!

English being the language of the world today, I can make you familiar with not just the formal grammatical and vocabularic aspects of it, but also the cultural way it is used around the world, so that you can communicate with people with ease.
Alternatively, I can teach mathematics, physics, and chemistry as well for all grade levels up till the 12th, and so we can cover all possible topics that you might encounter in high school.

I specialise in taking your English from functional to precise, persuasive, and professional in the moments that matter to you: job interviews, academic presentations, subject-specific exams, and high-stakes conversations.

** MY APPROACH IS PERFECT FOR **
**Goal-Focused Learners** You have a clear, specific target (job interview, subject-specific exam, or social situation) and want efficient lessons built around that one goal rather than generic textbook units. I quickly diagnose your starting point and design a focused plan so every session moves you measurably closer to that outcome.

**Learners Seeking In-Depth and Nuanced Feedback** You already communicate well in English but want to refine argument, tone, and style so your rhetoric is precise and powerful. We dig into structure and word choice, and you get detailed, line-by-line feedback that turns “correct” English into compelling English.

**STEM students & corporate professionals** You work in a technical or business environment and need your English to match your expertise. Drawing on my experience in tech and corporate strategy, I help you refine the vocabulary, jargon, and communication patterns you use in reports, slide decks, emails, and meetings so you sound as confident and credible in English as you are in your field.


** TEACHING ETHOS**
I have lived and worked in 7 countries and self-taught 3 languages so I have strong sense for the situations where complete confidence in a new language is critical: being able to quickly and fluidly reply in a social setting, using the appropriate jargon to convey complex ideas in an academic settings, confidently asserting your opinions in a business meeting, navigating bureaucracies in your new home country, ensuring that job applications and interviews genuinely reflect your abilities.

I also understand the effort and opportunity cost that can go into making time to study a language and, having been on the other side of this platform looking for tutors in German, I appreciate the leap of faith when choosing a tutor. As a result I am committed to delivering you the best value for money lesson with high-impact and targeted learning strategies which set you up to continue progressing until our next session. More on our lesson structures below.

** ABOUT ME **
- I am a native English speaker from New Zealand with excellent academic writing skills and deep appreciation for the finer points of the English language. I have won several speech awards and an NZQA scholarship for Literature.
- Scored 97th percentile for Verbal Reasoning on GRE & 94th percentile for Critical Reading on SAT.
- Former executive for a fortune 500 company and worked in tech development for many years (SpaceX research grant, patent for computer vision)
- B.Sc. in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign
- Current graduate student in Science and Technology Studies at TUM
- Experience tutoring academic writing and physics, mentoring elite students, and coaching students in various competitive environments

** TEACHING STYLE **
- My teaching style is calm, organised and collaborative. In our first lessons I like to “diagnose” what scenarios or milestones matter to you and what is really blocking your English.
- Based on the scenarios and milestones we will work with role play those exact situations and work with real-life texts (meetings, errands, presentations, phone calls etc) so I can explain why some phrases and structures work better than others, and then we can practise them until they feel natural.
- Based on the blockers we can zoom in on the problem areas—whether they be vocabulary, pronunciation, grammar habits, or structural uncertainty—and then build a simple, efficient plan to fix it.

** LESSON STRUCTURE **
In our first lesson we will talk about your goals, current level, and one concrete situation or text that matters to you (a presentation, interview, exam, email, or everyday scenario). We will do a short diagnostic (speaking and, if useful, a short piece of writing) and then design a study plan that fits around your schedule and focuses on the skills you actually need rather than generic textbook units.
Typical lessons include a mix of:
- Roleplaying specific situations with clear feedback on pronunciation, rhythm and natural phrasing
- Discussing texts which require defending an opinion using vocab and rhetorical techniques specific to your goals
- Focused examination of problem areas to identify underlying misunderstanding or pattern
- Spaced interval repetition of mistakes from previous weeks
- If applicable: Academic or professional writing support; targeted grammar and vocabulary work; exam preparation including test strategies and timed practice using real tasks
- After each session you leave with a short, realistic practice task and clear notes, so you know exactly what to focus on before our next lesson.
