English Tutoring by a certified TEFL teacher from London

As a non-native English Proficiency Speaker (C2), I am fully familiar with the difficulties of learning English as a second language and as a student I am familiar with the hardships and learning progress.
I have been certified as a TESOL CERTF teacher and have had experience in giving lessons in a class of 15 students at summer language schools or 1to1 lessons!
My focus during the session is to establish the target language and focus on familiarising it to the students. The class duration is 60 minutes and involves targeting the students goals but including the student's needs.
I give out homework because it is my believe that 'Repetitio est mater studiorum'- repetition is the main key to making a progress in learning!
I understand that learning a non-native and unfamiliar language can be overwhelming thus I try to take the class sessions slowly, including the repetition of the main problem until it is understood, however, I do like to encourage my students to push themselves to a new challenge.

The classes are taught solely in English, since that is the target language!

Extra information

I am a 21 year old student at Royal Holloway, University of London.
I am currently on my year abroad in Brussels in order to improve my French because I am a language student as well!

About Me

I am a student at Royal Holloway University of London. My field of study is European and International Studies (French) and I am currently on my year abroad in Brussels. I am an intern at the European Parliament at the Language Unit where I get to work in the translation process from English to French and vice versa.
My passion is Environmental Change and its connection to political actors, more specifically I am very interested in the maritime law and creating the binding international law or observing organisation that will control the international waters and seas. Furthermore, I take great interest in immigration induced by the environmental problems, socio-political and economical hardships.
I would say that I am a very easy going, friendly person even though I seem very strict and unapproachable at first!
I love good, positive atmosphere and therefore I like to have it during my class, so that the learning process becomes fun and motivated rather than scary and dull.

Education

BA Hon. European and International Studies with French, University of Royal Holloway University of London 2020
TEFL Cert, Trinity College University of London 2018
IELTS Language Proof Of Proficiency (C2) 2016

ENGLISH and GERMAN LESSONS FOR CHILDREN/ TEENS/ ADULTS BEGINNERS TO ADVANCED
Hello everyone and welcome to my English and or German lessons taught in group. I organise English and German lessons for children and teenagers and separately adult English group lessons (beginners to advanced). For children and teenagers, interactive activities are used as a way to motivate them, help them remember what they have learned in class and make sure they will be able to apply their language skills in real life context. For the adults lessons, depending on what the students are willing to learn, we can have discussions based on the news, some grammar, writing... I am open to any suggestions, just tell me your needs and I am going to adapt the next lessons for you. If you wish to invite your friends and make a group with them, just let me know and I will allocate you a time slot. For private English lessons, please have a look at my other advertisements. The German lessons are usually for beginners/ intermediate (exceptionally advanced levels in German can be organised only if there is a high-demand). Don't hesitate to contact me should you have further questions. It would be a huge pleasure to integrate you in one of my classes. :-) Lessons usually last 50 minutes.

English Communication/Conversation With an Experienced Native-Speaking Teacher
I'm a native English speaker from Canada, currently living in Prague, with many years of ESL and university teaching experience. I can help you gain confidence and improve skills through stimulating, content-based lessons with varieties of topics, activities and materials, designed and adapted to your level, interests, and requirements, and what you and I together feel we want and need to work on flexibly week by week. I work with intermediate to advanced students (B1-C2), with most of my students interested in conversation/communication English (focusing on speaking and listening skills, and including improving vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and grammar), but I’m also happy to work with students on writing and reading. My teaching style is engaging, creative and friendly—I try to make every lesson an interesting and enjoyable one. But I’m also professional, prepared, organized, and reliable. I rarely use a textbook—some students enjoy primarily having conversation without other resources needed, but I also often use songs, videos, and texts of various kinds to provide a wide variety of topics, new vocabulary, varieties of listening practice, etc., and I also use varieties of ESL material from various internet sources as well.
