About Me
Hi! I am Farhin, and I have been a private tutor since 2012. I have taught students up to middle school, but additionally have been a TA to an English Language teacher for O Levels (British Curriculum) and to an assistant professor at my undergrad university. I am friendly and patient, and maintain clear communication with my students and their guardians (if applicable). I have mainly taught English, Maths and Science, however, I have covered other school subjects too. I work to make the learning experience an enjoyable one, so that both the student and I benefit from the mutual exchange of knowledge.

I hope to make the best out of each session!

Dear student / Querido alumno:

My name is Denise. I am a Mexican Spanish as a Foreign Language (ELE) teacher certified by the Escuela Internacional Cervantes and hold a Bachelor’s degree in Spanish Literature from the University of Nuevo León (UANL, Mexico).

I began tutoring Spanish at an early age, initially helping classmates improve their academic performance, and later formalizing my teaching practice during my university studies.

For the past seven years, I have been teaching Spanish in both America and Europe, working with children, teenagers, and adult learners in academic tutoring, in-company training, online instruction, and professional language support.

My teaching approach is structured, adaptive, and goal-oriented. Lessons are designed according to the student’s level and specific objectives, with a clear focus on progress and consistency.

Students receive guided practice, exercises, and curated learning materials as part of their learning process. I work with a variety of resources, including textbooks, videos, podcasts, and newspapers, depending on the learning goal.

Depending on your needs, we can focus on grammar, academic Spanish, professional communication, or structured conversational practice with topics such as culture, arts, politics, and society.

I invite you to contact me so we can define your learning goals and build a consistent study plan together.

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.

Dear Sirs and Madames,

I gave private tutoring for a long time during university.
As a student of human rights and then as a project worker
I have already given language courses for refugees so that they can study successfully. (Learning buddy program: Start with a friend).

Now I teach my native language in Vienna. After my work as a project worker, I was an intern at the Advocacy Section of the United Nations where I was responsible for translations on a daily basis.

In the course of my work, I have worked with other teachers and developed my own teaching methods. In order to guarantee an effective education for the students, I offer varied lessons with oral and written exercises that correspond to the students' goals.

Sincerely yours,
Claire.

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. I am available to meet in both Brussels.

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 35+ 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 have also written, edited or proofread a variety of academic papers, theses, applications, CVs, and other documents for numerous satisfied academic and professional clients.

I have spent my entire childhood and adult life in the United States before completing a master's degree in Political Science and European Politics at KU Leuven. Additionally, I also possess Bachelor's degrees in Political Science and History. I have an extensive knowledge and experience of English grammar and literature, as well as current and past working experience in journalism (Anti-Competition Law and European Policy at the Policy and Regulatory Report) and both European and American politics.

I have no problem meeting anywhere in Brussels or further afield within the region. I also handle correction of text, editing, proofreading and ghostwriting, with weekly and monthly rates possible. My transportation costs are included.

Want to speak Russian confidently but feel stuck? This course is designed for learners who already know basic Russian (A2 level or higher) but need real conversation practice.

This is not a traditional lesson. This is a 1-on-1 Russian conversation session with a native speaker, focused on helping you speak naturally and fluently.

During each session, you will:
- practice speaking Russian in real-life situations
- improve your fluency and confidence
- learn to express your thoughts more naturally
- receive gentle corrections without pressure

You can choose your preferred format:

💬 Free conversation
Talk about everyday topics such as lifestyle, travel, work, or hobbies.

🎯 Topic-based conversation
Practice specific situations, for example:
- ordering food in a restaurant
- traveling and airports
- meeting new people and small talk
- workplace communication
- daily life situations

After each session you will receive:
- key corrections
- useful phrases and expressions
- relevant vocabulary from the session

This course is suitable for A2, B1, and B2 learners. You should already be able to:
- understand basic conversations
- form simple sentences
- communicate at a basic level

The session is conducted mainly in Russian. English support is available if needed, so you never feel stuck.

This course is ideal if you:
- want to improve your spoken Russian
- understand Russian but cannot speak confidently
- want real conversation practice with a native speaker
- prefer speaking over grammar exercises
Important! This is not a grammar-focused course. The main goal is to help you start speaking Russian confidently and naturally.

Hi! I’m Maria, an English tutor with 5+ years of teaching experience, a confirmed C2 level, and a particular focus on advanced learners, IELTS preparation, university studies, and professional communication.

For the past three years, I have been living in Vienna, where English is part of my everyday academic and professional life. I work in an international environment and am currently completing my PhD in English. Before moving to Austria, I worked in IT and media in Moscow, where English was also an essential part of my work.

Who I work with

I mainly teach teenagers and adults from A2 to C2, including:

- students preparing for IELTS and other international exams
- applicants planning to study at universities abroad
- university students who need stronger academic English
- professionals who want to communicate more confidently at work
- advanced learners who feel they have reached a plateau
- teachers and tutors working towards C1–C2 English

My students have successfully entered universities in Austria, Spain and other European countries, moved abroad and started using English confidently in everyday life and at work. I also work with IT professionals who need English for meetings, negotiations and communication in international teams.

My teaching approach

My background is in history, and my university education included pedagogy and teaching practice. I have also taught philosophy and history at university, so explaining complex ideas in a clear and structured way is something I genuinely enjoy.

At the same time, I don't believe language learning should revolve around memorising theory.

Our lessons are built around practice.

I select textbooks and materials according to your level, goals and interests, but I also regularly use real-world materials: articles, videos, podcasts, interviews, films and other authentic content.

A typical learning programme may include:

- speaking practice and discussion
- detailed work on difficult grammar and vocabulary
- listening and reading with authentic materials
- essay and academic writing
- reviews, short posts and other practical writing tasks
- exam strategies and IELTS practice
- vocabulary for more natural and precise C1–C2 communication

I pay particular attention to writing because strong written English is useful far beyond exams. It matters at university, at work and in everyday professional communication.

When you make a mistake, I don't just correct it. I explain why something sounds unnatural or incorrect, show you other examples and help you find alternatives. With advanced students, we also work extensively with synonyms, collocations and phrasing that can make your English more precise and natural.

All lesson materials are organised on an individual Miro board, so you can easily return to previous topics, corrections, vocabulary and assignments.

Lessons built around you

There is no universal programme that works for everyone.

During our first lesson, I will learn more about your goals, experience and current level. Based on that, I prepare materials for our work and continue adapting them as we go.

If something is too easy, too difficult or simply boring, we change it.

I am a calm, patient and supportive teacher. I can explain a difficult concept step by step, but I also give students space to think, speak and take an active role in shaping their own learning.

And because I am interested in everything from cinema and theatre to philosophy and psychology, we are unlikely to run out of things to discuss.

I particularly enjoy working with students who have a real reason for learning English — an exam, university, relocation, a new job or simply the desire to finally feel confident using the language they have studied for years.

If that sounds like you, book a lesson and tell me what you want to achieve. We’ll look at your current level, discuss your goals and decide what the most useful next step should be.
