About Me

My name is Maria, I was born in Rio de Janeiro and raised in Stockholm! I also spent a year and a half in Miami, FL where I found English to be easier than my native language.
At 11 years old, I decided to take matters into my own hands and become self-taught.
Today at 23 years old, I'm often asked where in the states I'm from!
I'm currently pursuing a career in journalism, while freelance writing!

Maria is currently tutoring my 9 year old daughter English and I have to say she's great. She is an excellent teacher and my daughter is learning more and more every week and they both seem to be having fun at the same time.
In this class, I'll help you improve your grammar and your vocabulary with some easy techniques. Perhaps you want to strengthen your grasp of English grammar or expand your vocabulary. You may even want to improve academically. I'm here to help you all the way through. I look forward to meeting you and joining you on your English journey!

English Conversational to reduce accent and talk like a Native American
I am an American who can help you to reduce your accent and speak fluent. I was born in Denver, Colorado and I could interact with you playing games, listening activities, or learning about American culture like history, or US government. I love road trips so we can talk about different places and learn about them. I like in my classes also to listen and sing to reduce accent and improve pronunciation. It will be fun!!

Communication Training (Professional / Personal) & Public Speaking
Whether your goal is personal or professional, speaking is a predominantly physical activity, relying on a body, a voice, a breath, a rhythm (diction) and an emotion (the imagination and the sensations, reflecting the involvement of the speaker in his speech. How to send a clear message? How to make the difference, to make an impression? How to regain self-confidence and control the management of his emotions? Knowing how to speak in public is now a necessity for the company and in the company. From a personal point of view, this is a vector for better relationships and optimal messages. On the phone, in a meeting, in front of a client or a banker (…), your public speaking must be effective and efficient with clear, simple and powerful messages, creating a match between the message received and the message sent. Simple and pragmatic tools will be presented and then put into practice for: generating listening ● making an impression ● fostering trust ● generating need ● motivating teams by explaining a strategy ● getting messages across within groups. Controlled, the method allows: • improve self-confidence and stress management with the development of the speaker's fluency (verbal-bodily), his public speaking and his sense of repartee and improvisation • to work on his ease, leadership, his NLP, his charisma, his creativity and to go towards a certain personal development, through a set of scenarios * improve the characteristics of the spoken voice (timbre, pitch, intention, flow) Completed by basic exercises (diction, voice, presence, breathing, presentation, time management ...), role plays, improvisations and simulations will be set up. With the key words: pronunciation, rhetoric, verbal and non-verbal communication, diction / articulation, the sense of repartee, structured speech (…). The goal is not only to focus on verbal communication but also on nonverbal communication, so as to make the control of his body, his voice (...), a real and lasting strength. Depending on the interaction between the trainer - coach and the one who consults, there is no single way to operate: each type of session depends on the needs and difficulties of each. In all cases, it is very often a question, while adapting to your own needs and after having precisely diagnosed your desired objective and the blockages encountered, to combine the theory (the bases of the studied concept, for example NLP / information asymmetry / the "how to say no" / the tools of non-verbal communication or the application of kinaesthesia) and its application (through exercises and direct applications). For example, are discussed: - the fundamentals of public speaking: breathing, gaze and body language - diction and elocution: rhythm and range of your voice - management of your emotions and your emotional overflow (example: stress) - work on the body, to amplify your charisma and ensure consistency between your message and your body ... with the aim of: * Enhance your presentation and arouse interest by focusing on your strengths, your qualities ... your personality * Match the content and form of your message * Improve your charisma, your self-confidence and the benefits of your emotional intelligence Postgraduate School Training & Ivy league college in the United States, specialized and worked for over 13 years, in Europe and North America, in the field of communication and public speaking in renowned public and private international institutions, involved in forums and conferences, and focused on two areas: training and coaching, with the key words pedagogy and careful methodology. PLACES - Locations: Geneva - Lausanne - Friborg - Neuchâtel - Montreux - Basel - Sion - Sierre - Morges - Bienne. But currently and until further notice, only by videoconference in accordance with national recommendations on Covid. These sessions also seem to be perfectly unanimous since they have the advantages of live (example: quality of the interaction), without its disadvantages (example: loss of travel time) with additional advantages (example: notes that can be re-read on the chat). In this context, the videoconference sessions for which you asked me to seem to suit everyone perfectly, take place very optimally and generate a certain enthusiasm (and a certain enthusiasm). That is why, at your request, I continue to offer this option. Take good care of yourself and yours! PROGRAM A la carte program: evaluated and adapted to each need.

Alexia
English Private Lessons Online or Face to Face ESL
Hello! My name is Alexia, I am 26 years old and I had graduated the Faculty of Foreign Languages, English and Russian. I am Romanian and currently I live in Cyprus. Few words about me: - I had graduated the Faculty of Foreign Languages, English and Russian (bachelor and master's); - I own a certificate that offers me the possibility to teach in Romanian schools; - I tutored since my first year in university; - I studied with Erasmus Scholarship in Russia, I was volunteer in Turkey where I teached high schoolers English, I had a Work and Travel experience in the USA; - I worked in a youth organization with and for foreign young volunteers; - I worked in Ireland where I spoke only English. At present, my "full time" job is tutoring (soon I will have an English speaking club). I offer private lessons to children, young people, and ladies who can understand very basic English, or who are Romanians. I also can teach Russians, as long as there is a very basic level of English. *by knowledge of very basic English I mean the person to be able to read and knows some words. The lessons will be in English, and the native language will not be used much. My approach is to teach English in English, which is one of my favourite ways to learn a new language (personal experience). What I offer? Private lessons that focus on the person's needs (grammar, vocabulary, speaking, help for school lessons). The materials offered are digital and printed *if the lesson is face to face. The information is taken from English handbooks and they are adapted to each lesson. !! The first lesson is FREE. !!

Margie
English for Professionals and Students: Friendly, Internationally Experienced Teacher From the USA.
Since 2018 I've been teaching and tutoring English to students across the world. I've taught in the private sector, in schools, and now privately online. Many of my students work for international companies or have relocated (or plan to relocate) for work or study and have an immediate need to improve their English. Their goals often include things like better communication for business, making social connections, or simply making day-to-day life in a new country easier. If this describes you, I can help! I've lived internationally for much of my adult life, and I completely understand all of the wonderful experiences, as well as the challenges, that come with communicating in an international setting. In my lessons, I help clients to learn, retain, and USE new information. When we practice grammar structures, we do it in contexts that are meaningful and useful. When we learn new vocabulary, we practice by talking about interesting and memorable topics. Overall, my lessons are low-stress and conversational yet always focused on results. If your first language isn't English, it can be difficult to express your "true self" in the language, but it gets much easier with practice and persistence! If you are an advanced level student, we'll also work on idiomatic language and cultural references. This helps boost your conversational skills and makes understanding English speakers in general a whole lot easier. Whatever your English language goals are, send me a message, and I'll be happy to assist. We'll have a friendly chat about how I can best help you, and I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have.
