English Second Language Teacher (Native UK) with Honours Degree in Language and Linguistics

From 41.64 C$ /h

Hello! I'm Miya, a languages graduate (Spanish, French, Italian, English) and I love learning languages, so I understand first-hand how challenging it can be to learn and practise speaking a new language.

Classes can be:
- speaking only: practising getting comfortable speaking English with a native
- grammar based: doing exercises and translations
- from beginner to advanced levels of English

I have experience teaching English in language academies to people of all ages and abilities. I teach Cambridge, Trinity and EOI exams, as well as group child classes.

I am open to doing classes online (via Zoom or Skype) and we can meet at an agreed location in the city.

A laptop would be great, but not essential.

About Me

I am an energetic and fun 23-year-old from the UK. I am an English second language teacher in Valencia and have been living here for about a year. I studied languages at university and I love to learn about language and how it differs. For this reason, I love to teach others English and how it differs from their native language.

I love when my students ask me questions. Anything! It can be something grammar-specific, and if I don't know the answer, I will go and find out and get back to you with the answer!

Kids that love to learn and love to try out new things make teaching extremely worthwhile. Getting students comfortable speaking lets them improve at a much faster rate so I encourage speaking in my classes and active participation.

I teach using various methods: learning through games is always fun and lets younger students gain confidence in a second language. With adults, I prefer to use exercises based around grammar and translation. However, I teach adults that only wish to learn through speaking, and they like when I correct their mistakes as they speak.

I am a native English Speaker from London England. I currently live in Valencia in Spain teaching English in a Primary school, children aged 4 years to 12 years. I really enjoy teaching and helping people improve and grow in confidence. I am a qualified teacher with a degree in Law. I actually practiced as a Lawyer for six years. I can teach remotely online, or somewhere in Valencia of your choosing.
My lessons are fun and interactive. In the UK I have worked with children for the last ten years.

I work at your speed and listen to you and create lessons to suit your needs.

Hi there! My name is Flo and I am currently working in Valencia on my year abroad as an auxiliare de conversación in a Primary school. I am a 20 year old student from the University of Bristol in England doing a Spanish BA degree and I absolutely love my teaching job which is why I thought I'd begin private tutoring alongside it! I have access to a wide range of teaching resources through my job post for a selection of ages and abilities. I am a very patient and encouraging individual and I look forward to being able to assist people with learning English to the very best of my ability.

I teach classes on any school subject such as any language, history, philosophy, mathematics, etc. In addition, I also teach classes in musical language, harmony, analysis, flute, preparation for conservatory tests... and any subject taught in the psychology degree such as statistics, personality development, psychometry, etc.
I am open to requests for other subjects that I have not mentioned.
The classes will be specialized and individualized for each student, and will be based on a dynamic method that encourages motivation for learning. It is about transmitting the passion for learning.

English is a fundamental tool today, and therefore if you need help or reinforce your English, that's what I'm here for.
Learn little by little, grammar, vocabulary, etc.
First we adapt to the student to catch up with the type of syllabus and what needs to be reinforced or started to learn.

I teach English through full immersion. From day one, you will be communicating in English! Using all your abilities, you will learn by speaking and listening, watching videos and listening to music, using all possible senses! Come and learn in an interactive and fun way!

My classes are tailored to be interesting and relevant to each student. For adults in particular, I teach based on what interests the student, studying things like pieces of music, episodes of series, stories and other short texts, news in English – the possibilities are endless! From this, we will learn vocabulary and grammar in a natural way, without the rigid and boring study of rules.

For children, I also teach exclusively in English! From the very basic level, I make good use of PowerPoint, photos and videos to introduce basic words and grammar little by little, helping them learn as they learned their first language – without translation. This way of teaching brings excellent and fast results.

📚 The school year is approaching, and with it, homework, new concepts in class, and extracurricular activities. But none of this has to be stressful when you have access to Valencian, English, and Spanish language reviews!

🧑🏻‍🏫 With nearly 10 years of experience as a teacher at all levels (children, adolescents, young adults, and adults), I can help your child not worry so much about those language subjects, grow their self-confidence, and pass the courses without problems.

📩 Shall we talk?

English is a vehicular language and, therefore, essential. Therefore, it's vital to ensure a good command of it. I'll help you learn the language from a much more dynamic and enriching perspective.
At the same time, French is increasingly being learned. As with the previous language, it's essential to make sure we know it well.
I can teach classes in person or online.
