English Language Arts: Literature, Writing, and Speaking Support

Von 72.9 $ /Std

Hello!

My name is Leanna. I am a former Secondary English teacher from Seattle, Washington and have a Bachelors degree in English Language Arts from the University of Washington, and a Masters Degree in Curriculum Design and Instruction from the University of Colorado.

This class is to support learners in reading and writing in English. I specialize in reading instruction, especially for dense literary texts, themes, and literary devices, as well as creative writing, essay writing, and writers workshops overall.

I am here to help anyone to understand texts better, improve academic writing, or provide services for writing workshops as a creative writing space.

Graduated from a CELTA (Cambridge Certificate) and a Master in English and German (International Trade specialty), I offer private English lessons for children and adults, and tutoring for primary and secondary students I and II.

I worked for 20 years in the field of Marketing and Communication, in Paris, London and Geneva.

I lived for 5 years in London and am bilingual in English / French.

My passions are teaching and traveling.

My teaching method adapts to your needs. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced level, we can determine your teaching program together.

The method can be structured with grammar and syntax courses, if you want to progress in writing.

If you want conversation classes, the method can be more fluid with themes chosen together and pronunciation exercises.

I teach the following types of courses:

- Classical tutoring classes to improve your grades.

- preparation courses for exams.

- Business-oriented language courses (job interview, CV, business dialogue, writing letters and e-mails).

We will make the lessons both orally and practically. All the exercises are in the appropriate level, starting with the lowest level and continue with the highest. In each lesson the student will have some exercises as homework. In the end of each month we will have a small repeat!! I am also a braille tutor for both Greek and English!

2021-2022:
I worked at "bijlesthuis," a Dutch tutoring institution, where I primarily taught French, Dutch, and English to adult learners seeking to improve their language skills. During the same period, I also provided classes to other students through Apprentus.

2021:
Through Apprentus and other websites, I assisted several younger students (ages 5-15) in Bern and Geneva, helping them improve their skills in subjects such as Maths and French.

2017-2020:
I worked for three years at a tutoring institution in Geneva called ARA, where I primarily taught French, Mathematics, and English.

During this time, I also spent two years working at a private school called Florimont, where I supported students aged 11-16 across various subjects by assisting them with their homework.

I can teach French, Dutch, and English, Spanish and in German, and I thoroughly enjoy teaching and assisting students in their progress and acquisition of new skills.

Languages are essentials for a good application. Not only they allow you to broaden your knowledge and skills, but they also act as an excellent tool to open yourself to the world and make new acquaintances, and will seduce your future employers.

Hi future students! 👋

My name is Pauline, and I’m a native German speaker from Leipzig, Germany, with fluent English (American English) and Spanish, plus intermediate French.

If your goal is to speak German or English more confidently, naturally, and without stress, you’re in the right place. My lessons focus on real-life communication, not just textbooks and grammar drills.

What I offer:
- Conversational German or English to improve fluency & confidence
- Relaxed, motivating 1-on-1 sessions tailored to your goals
- Exam or interview preparation (A1–B1, travel, work, daily life)
- Personalized lessons based on your strengths and weak points

Whether you want to:
- speak more freely and sound natural
- prepare for an exam or interview
- improve pronunciation and listening
- refresh grammar through conversation

I’ll adapt the lessons entirely to you.

How my lessons work

We focus mainly on speaking and listening, supported by:

- vocabulary expansion
- pronunciation & accent training
- practical grammar (explained simply)
- reading & writing when useful

I provide engaging materials such as slides, images, short videos, music, games, and real-life texts - no boring worksheets.

Homework is optional and adapted to your schedule. If you’re busy, we keep it light and practical.

I’ve also been a student on Apprentus myself, so I know what makes lessons effective, enjoyable, and worth your time.

📩 Feel free to reach out with any questions or specific goals - I’m happy to help you start speaking with confidence!

Learn the language of Shakespeare in a fun way. Read classics, play with colors, cross-reference different texts, films, or series, and above all, become an expert on grammar...

Here is the program that we will include with variations depending on the learning profile.

As a French-German and trilingual student (French and German as native languages – English CEC C1), I offer tutoring and homework help for students from primary to secondary I and II (approximately 10 to 20 years old).
I provide support in all subjects, although French and languages are my specialty.

Having already completed several years of tutoring, I have a great capacity for adaptation, and above all, we will build the pace of the tutoring together according to your needs. Furthermore, my experience as an older sister has taught me how to create a reassuring and motivating environment for learning and education.

Each session is fully personalized:
• Review and explanation of concepts not understood,
• adapted exercises,
• Preparation for tests, assessments and exams
• homework help,
• Methodological support (work organization, memorization, writing, autonomy).

I place particular importance on a caring approach to help each student progress, strengthen their skills and gain confidence!
