English (Language & Literature, Creative Writing, ESL)

Von 67.32 $ /Std

As an experienced teacher and a professional writer, I can help you with all aspects of English, whether that's literature, essay writing and analysis for school, or improving on your English as a second language, or for the aspiring writer seeking professional critique and advice for their writing with the view to publish. I can be on hand to help with a child's English homework as well. Classes are tailored to your individual needs, so every class is different.

I am certified with CELTA, PGCE with a degree in Art History. I have taught at international primary schools as well as been a private tutor to children and adults of all ages. As a writer, I am published through National Geographic, though I primarily focus on fiction.

Über mich

- Learning should be fun. I'm a believer of play-based learning for children (and also adults!) because when you're having fun, you're automatically learning. When the content of what you learn becomes relevant to you on a personal level, that's when magic happens.

- I'm personable and enjoy getting to know my students. Building good rapport is so important because when any corrections come up, the student knows I'm coming from a good place, a place of trust. That's half the battle to getting the student to listen.

- I believe in encouragement. While corrections are part and parcel to teaching, sometimes highlighting the good areas, the student's strengths, what they did well, is as much part of the learning as pointing out the mistakes. It's a matter of what you focus on: Glass half full or glass half empty? Both are true. But perspective is everything.

- As someone who's bilingual and raising bilingual kids, I am in a unique position to understand the needs of the multilingual and multicultural person. I'm native in English and Cantonese and able to use both languages for lessons. I am conversational in Czech and have rudimentary Mandarin, so I'm familiar with what it's like to learn a foreign language on a personal level.

Bildung

BA degree in History of Art (University of Nottingham)
CELTA (Cambridge cert for teaching English as a foreign language to adults)

I'm also bilingual in English and Cantonese. I have basic/conversational Czech (A2-B1 level according to European standards)

Erfahrung / Qualifikationen

10+ years across all ages - both children and adults, with focus on KS2 children. I have taught both proficient children in international school settings as well as tutored English as a foreign language to children and adults who are not yet fluent (levels vary).

Holder of a Master's degree in Letters and endowed with a solid experience in private lessons, I provide French lessons for students wishing to:
- consolidate their bases in grammar, spelling
- improve their language skills (allophone students)
- improve their speaking skills (conversation classes)
-profect the written expression
- prepare for ECR exams
- prepare for the written examinations at the end of the studies (maturity, certificate of completion)
- help with the writing of works of maturity (or other works of end of studies), of dissertation
- work on argumentative texts
- acquire a method to analyze literary texts
- learn how to perform bibliographic research

The course material is a Google Docs document that I create in which my explanations, possible links, exercises appear. By reading it regularly, progress will be faster. It can also be used in addition to other documents (files printed by school teachers and/or books) and has many advantages: automatic updating, downloadable on tablets and smartphones, simultaneous monitoring of what is writing.

For help with writing:

The objective is above all to acquire effective tools. The student will thus be able to learn to structure his ideas, argue coherently (and convincingly) and enrich his vocabulary. It is essential for me to have written work from the student between each lesson.

For analyzes of oral literary texts:

In order to optimize the time available (and to put ourselves in conditions closest to oral exams), we choose together an extract from a work that the student will have previously prepared before the lesson. This would take around 20 minutes at most, and ideally just a little before the meeting time. If necessary, I have the habit of taking a paragraph at random which would serve as a basis for analyzing a passage.

For the corrections of end of studies work:

so that the meeting with the student is at the most profitable, I ask him to send me his writings before the meeting.

Apart from my presence with the student, any course involves a preparation time before and after the lesson, including the work that I correct. My goal is to design an individualized course, so I take the time to write detailed comments on corrected work or tips to ensure maximum success for everyone.

For example, an editorial correction can easily be the subject of a detailed commentary of 4 typewritten pages.

For adults (FLE):

In order to optimally prepare the first ones, I take the initiative to inform myself in advance of their objectives / expectations. Whether to practice speaking in everyday life, the professional world or to practice oral presentations, I prepare either PPT or technical sheets in advance that I send by mail ( after booking on the website).

The other alternative is to make a PV of the course that I send (or that I print). Giving importance to keeping a written record on the one hand to better memorize the topics covered, on the other hand to better assimilate the spelling.

Of a general nature, a concrete situation that responds to the learner's needs is the starting point. From this situation, I address the essential grammatical points.

I was born in Istanbul in 1983. I started teaching Turkish while studying Turkish Language and Literature at university. I worked in a language school and at universities. I have been teaching Turkish professionally for more than 16 years. I also taught Turkish for 5 years when I was a university student. In 2018, I obtained a TESOL certificate and also began teaching English.

I teach both adults and children. Creating a comfortable learning environment for my students is one of my top priorities. If you would like to learn Turkish or English in a consistent and structured way, I would be happy to work with you.

I hold firmly to two main principles: creating a comfortable space for learning and building an encouraging atmosphere.

My students often describe me as patient, positive, and well-organised. Over time, I’ve found my own way of making Turkish feel easier, more enjoyable, and more practical to learn.

I love shaping each lesson around my students’ interests, needs, and learning styles. I adapt my teaching to the needs of students with special conditions, such as ADHD and OCD.

In my lessons, you’ll never feel afraid of making mistakes. Before long, you’ll start noticing them on your own and correcting yourself naturally.

Even though I use a communicative approach, my lessons are supported by a solid understanding of grammar, as Turkish has a very different structure.

I use the course book set prepared by Istanbul University. It follows a strategic approach to learning Turkish and includes all language skills—reading, grammar, writing, listening, watching, and speaking—from A1 to C2. All of these skills are essential for conversation.

I teach English for the A1 and A2 levels.

The workbook offers many exercises for homework or revision, and I support the book with my own authentic materials. I also use an interactive board that you can view anytime, and you can edit it as well. Repetition-based speaking practice plays an important role in my lessons.

I speak English well, and a bit of Italian, and I have also studied Persian and German grammar. I am interested in literature.

One-on-one lessons on Apprentus are just for you. Are you ready to see the benefits and start speaking right away? We will not forget to smile while doing fun and interesting lessons! :)

Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you!

Hi All,
thank you for checking out my course.

This class is open to students of all levels. Whether you are only starting to learn the wild-looking letters of the Cyrillic alphabet, or whether you are looking to practise your written and spoken Russian, I would be delighted to accompany you at any stage of your Russian-learning journey. For more advanced students, I would be happy to help you get to know one of the most defining aspects of the Russian language, namely its novels and poetry, which would be a great way to learn about the 'mysterious' Russian soul.

I believe that studying in three different countries have allowed me to try out and assess various approaches to education in general and teaching languages in particular - from the rigourous Russian system based on ensuring that the students will obtain exceptional spelling, grammar, syntax and punctuation skills, to the more relaxed yet more critical and analytical Western approach, focused on problem-solving and independent work.

You will get the benefit of a vast bank of techniques, methods and learning materials that I have developed and accumulated over the past year will be used in class to pique and maintain your interest. And since I was once a language student too, I would be able to share my personal tips and tricks with you to help you reach whatever goal you have set for yourself - be it being able to wow your friends and family by reciting a poem in the language of Dostoyevski, or impressing your future collegues with the thorough knowledge of Russian current affairs in their mother tongue!

I'm a TEFL-certified teacher of English as a foreign language with 3+ years of experience teaching at a private bilingual school in Thailand.

I know how to help my students break the language barrier, make them confident speakers, and help them be able to use English in real communicative situations.

I have a degree in English Philology, which gave me a deep understanding of linguistics and how languages are acquired, and I always try to apply that knowledge in my work. I have a neutral accent and a deep knowledge of phonology, which helps me teach English pronunciation successfully. I can teach my students to produce both American and British neutral accents and understand the differences between them.

I prefer a communicative approach and always try to maximize student talking time in my classes. Also, I love using the TPR (Total Physical Response) and TPRS (Teaching Proficiency through Reading and Storytelling) approaches in my classes, because they are extremely beneficial for young learners and increase their interest and motivation.

Learning German can be easier: I support children (approx. 6-12 years old) with reading, writing, and spelling, patiently, systematically, and in a positive learning environment. We first work together to identify where they're struggling, and then practice exactly what's currently important for school. It's important to me that your child not only completes tasks "correctly," but truly understands how to learn more confidently and independently. We celebrate small steps forward, because they make the biggest difference.
