About Me

I am a friendly and patient Swahili tutor from Nairobi, Kenya, passionate about helping students learn Swahili simply and enjoyably. I work with beginners, travelers, professionals, and anyone interested in East African culture and language.

My teaching style is practical and conversational. I focus on real-life communication, pronunciation, vocabulary building, and confident speaking from the very first lesson. I adapt each lesson to the student’s goals — whether you want to travel, work in East Africa, communicate with friends or family, or learn Swahili for personal growth.

I believe learning a language should feel relaxed, encouraging, and interactive. I create a comfortable learning environment where students feel confident making mistakes and improving step by step.

I am a French teacher. I have been teaching French, language, and communication since 2012. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English, and a little Turkish.
I explain my lessons in French, Arabic, or Spanish, depending on your choice.
During the sessions, I explain the course that suits your needs. There is also the option to create an open discussion so that you can speak fluently over time and avoid grammatical gaps.
And at the end of each session, I give "lessons" with "exercises" to do as homework to continue our support and increase your level.

Bring a notebook for this training (or any suitable means) to take notes and keep them.

I am a master student in quantitative economics and all of my courses are given in English. My goal is to help the student in solving the exercises and to understand the theory but above all to give an effective working method to make him independent in the pursuit of his studies.

University English Instructor| Started teaching English 9 years ago| Specializing in Conversational English.

My teaching approach is designed to develop communication skills above all. We watch or read materials, such as videos, articles, stories, poems, caricatures, then discuss them; we act out situations from everyday life; we take positions and practice debates. However, this doesn’t mean that we just practice speaking. I also make sure the learner is not running in circles. I’m here to ensure that they do not keep repeating the same mistakes or keep using the same expressions over and over in conversation.
In order to keep making progress, I take my student on a journey that involves:
• Improving their grammar.
• Fixing their pronunciation.
• Enriching their vocabulary by learning to use new words and common idioms.
By the end of this course, you should be able to speak English fluently and confidently.

PS: Because of my academic specialty, I also help with academic writing and creative writing.

The objective is that: the learner masters the English language (🎧listening-comprehension,🎤 conversation, 📚 reading, grammar-pronunciation, writing...). It helps him to have language skills like native speakers. 🥇

At the same time, the learner will be 🚴‍♀️dynamic and well supervised by professional tutors who listen.
The atmosphere is distinguished: 🔥learning, interaction, no routine, no stress.

The learning tools used; videos, audios, texts, articles, images, games, stories...

We are happy to help both adults and pupils/students. If you want to learn the English language (reading, grammar, oral conversation, written production,...) or you have homework to do, or competitions/tests to take, 🏆 contact us :)

Hello everyone!
I'm Giorgia and I come from Torino, Italy.
I offer my native knowledge of Italian to any of you, who wants to discover this beautiful language.

I teach for all levels, from very beginners to advanced speakers, passing through amateurs or simply curious of any age. I can also help with university exams and school works/assignments.
Being a pianist and a piano teacher, I already have lots of experience with teaching and pedagogical approach with the whole range of ages.

The lesson is intended to meet the student needs: the focus can be on the grammar, conversation or literature. In case of a middle-level speaker, the lesson will cover all four language's abilities: listening, speaking, writing and reading. My suggestion of a well planned lesson is, for any level, to divide it into two parts: grammar first and then conversation (covering all the abilities mentioned above).

Thank you for your attention and looking forward to meeting you !!

I am a FLE (French as a foreign language) teacher in training centers, associations, and remotely for foreigners who wish to learn French.
Preparation for TCF Canada, DEFL and DAFL for all levels.

I have a master's degree in business engineering and international trade, a certification in French as a Foreign Language and a master's degree in teaching.
I use fun and interactive methods with lots of language practice.
I can help you write your CV and cover letter, and practice for job interviews.

I offer sessions adapted to the needs and pace of each learner.

Methodology :
- Initial assessment: For each support I will carry out a diagnostic assessment to identify the student's strengths and weaknesses in the subject concerned (mathematics, French, science, etc.).
- Personalized approach: Courses are adapted to the student's level, with individualized monitoring. This includes practical exercises, targeted revisions, and explanations adapted to each learning pace.
- Progressive objectives: we set short and long-term objectives together to motivate the student and measure their progress.
- Learning techniques: I use interactive methods (online exercises, educational games) and revision sheets to help memorize and understand key concepts (flashcards, etc.)

Typical sessions:
- Course of the sessions:
- Review of previous concepts: 10-15 minutes to review the points covered during the last lesson.
- Lesson of the day: 30-45 minutes to introduce and explain a new concept.
- Practical exercises: 20-30 minutes to apply what has been learned, offering exercises adapted to the student's level.
- Questions and corrections: 10-15 minutes at the end to answer the student's questions and correct mistakes together.
- Regular monitoring: I plan regular assessments to adjust the learning method and adapt the pace of the lessons.

So what are you waiting for? Join me for an unforgettable adventure!

You've mastered your craft. It's time your English reflected that.
As a professional, you have the expertise, the vision, and the ambition.

A lack of fluency in English is the glass ceiling for ambitious careers. But the solution isn't to relearn school grammar from scratch. What you need is a strategic advantage.

The Bilingual Edge program was designed exclusively for French learners who no longer have time to waste on generic methods. Here, we don't aim for mere linguistic survival, but for excellence linked to practice.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:
>Take the lead in international meetings and negotiations, without hesitation.
>Articulate complex ideas and defend your projects with the same force as in French.
>Eliminate typically French turns of phrase ("franglais") which weaken your message.
>Build an international network and establish your credibility with English-speaking clients, partners or managers.

Don't let the language barrier limit your impact any longer. Turn your English into your greatest professional asset and give your career the global reach it deserves.

Hello! 👋

My classes are designed for both seafarers working on board ships or in VTS centers and anyone living on land. With me, you'll learn the maritime English you need to work on ships, in ports, and in VTS centers, as well as the general English that will allow you to communicate fluently in any situation in your daily life. I specialize, above all, in helping my students gain confidence in speaking and ensuring their English can accompany them wherever they go.

The goal will always be for you to learn real, useful English, both to pass certification exams and to use it in your life and your future. Are you ready to get on board and learn real English?

Hi there! My name is Jana and I am excited to be your tutor! I teach English, Business English, French and Italian but my professional background is in renewable energy, sustainability and public policy. I always saw languages as a tool to open new opportunities and will be happy to guide you on your journey to fluency. Over the years, I have worked as a mentor and educator, helping students and young professionals develop their confidence, communication skills and academic or professional goals. I particularly enjoy helping people become more comfortable speaking and expressing themselves in a foreign language. As a teacher, I prefer a conversational and personalised approach. Rather than relying on textbooks, I focus on real-life communication and creating a relaxed environment where students feel comfortable practicing and making progress. If that's something that resonates with you, I will be happy to see you in my class.
