Russian language classes for kids and adults with a certified tutor (mother tongue)Translate this text using Google Translate.

1. Russian for ADULTS 🇬🇧 If your goal is to become fluent in English, these are the lessons to take. Each lesson will contain > - Speaking & Listening part with Russian skills necessary for descriptions, comparisons, explanations, etc. - Russian used in common social situations, like inviting, giving advice, talking about movies, etc. - Essential Russian grammar, including verbs conjugation, cases, tenses, quantifiers, and more - Hundreds of native vocabulary and expressions needed for fluent conversation - Russian knowledge for challenging things, like writing emails, giving presentations, and debating, etc. - Practice exercises to help you start thinking in Russian and improve your Russian speaking habits - Much more! If you are serious about getting really good at Russian, your next step is simple: Sign up for the entire course! Se hai una idea seria di migliorare il russo, il tuo next step è semplice: iscriviti il corso! 🇮🇹 Le lezioni in cui si articola il corso intero seguono la struttura > - Dialoghi che sviluppano una abilità di costruire descrizioni, comparatività, spiegazioni e così via : ascolto e pratica come parlare meglio. - I materiali didattici e l'approcio sono organizzati per lo studio del russo in molti situazioni sociali: inviti, suggerimenti, conversazioni riguardo a film o musica, etc. - Grammatica d'uso: la teoria degli argomenti neccessari e adeguati al'livello del studente, gli esercizi vari durante la lezione e come compito. - Gli esercizi con l'approccio di farti pensare in russo. - Molto di più! 2. RUSSIAN for KIDS This original course is designed to develop spoken Russian in bilingual children. If your child was born abroad or moved to a non-Russian-speaking country at an early age, and you wish for them to speak, read, and write in Russian, and communicate freely with you, friends, and relatives — then this course is for you. I use play-based methods for teaching writing, including for complete beginners. To make the most of these lessons, I recommend that you provide your child with a writing/drawing tablet and a Russian-language keyboard (or Cyrillic stickers for the keys). To develop both dialogue and monologue speech, we will work with materials from Russian folklore as well as everyday topics tailored to your child's interests and goals. Each lesson is fully personalized, and the overall language development plan is carefully coordinated with you, the parent. The course also involves a significant amount of independent work, both autonomously and with parental participation. If you're looking for a meaningful and educational way for your child to spend the summer — this course is for you!

Specialized in Teaching Children - Confucius Institute Certified Native Chinese TeacherTranslate this text using Google Translate.

你好!Grüezi!Hola!Hello! I'm a Confucius Institute (the ONLY globally recognized official institution for teaching Chinese to speakers of other languages) certified Mandarin teacher. I'm also an official YCT (Youth Chinese Test)/ HSK (Chinese Proficiency Test)/ HSKK (Chinese Proficiency Spoken Test) test examiner. In addition to giving private lessons, I also teach Chinese at international schools and lead Mandarin immersion Spielgruppe (playgroup) in the German-speaking part of Switzerland. My speciality is teaching children between the age of 2.5 and 12 in an immersive and interactive learning environment. By means of guided game-playing, painting, story-reading, drama activities, song-singing, dancing, and handcraft-making, kids achieve organic language acquisition while having a lot of fun. The predominant features you will find in my class are tailor-made teaching materials and methods that are customized to best suit your specific study objectives (Preschooler Chinese, K-12 Chinese, YCT, HSK, Beginner Chinese, Conversational Chinese, Business Chinese...etc.). As a language learner myself (B.A. major in Spanish and currently studying German), I have great patience and willingness to help you on your journey towards Chinese proficiency, because I know how frustrating it could get at times. Being in the shoes of a linguistics student for years also enables me to better instruct you, as I understand very well what are the things a learner would find helpful. I welcome students of all age groups and prior proficiency levels. Looking forward to sharing my knowledge of Chinese language and culture with you:)

Cambridge Exam Preparation Courses A2, B1, B2, C1, C2Translate this text using Google Translate.

Cambridge Exam Preparation Courses A2, B1, B2, C1, C2Translate this text using Google Translate.

I am a Cambridge CELTA-qualified teacher, a native British English speaker originally from London, and I am passionate about helping students achieve their goals and succeed in their Cambridge exams. I offer both online and in-person Cambridge exam preparation courses designed to help students feel confident, prepared, and ready for their exams. Since 2020, I have worked with Cambridge English preparing students for exams ranging from Starters (Pre-A1) all the way to Proficiency (C2). Alongside teaching, I have also worked as a Cambridge exam invigilator here in Lugano, helping to manage and supervise the examination process itself. This experience has given me a deep understanding not only of the language requirements, but also of how the exams are structured, assessed, and conducted in real exam conditions. Over the years, I have developed my courses to cover every aspect of the exams in depth, while also giving students plenty of time for guided and monitored exam practice. My aim is not only to improve students’ English, but also to help them feel comfortable, familiar, and confident with the exam format itself. The course is offered in two formats: 5-Lesson Introduction to the Exam Course A shorter course designed for students who already feel relatively confident in their level of English and simply need an introduction to the exam format and question styles. This course includes: An overview of all parts of the exam Exam tips and strategies Advice on how to approach each task Homework and writing feedback Introduction to timing and exam techniques all practice materials are provided in digital form included in the course 10-Lesson In-Depth Exam Preparation Course A more complete and detailed preparation course for students who would like extra support, structure, and guidance throughout their exam journey. This course includes: In-depth coverage of every part of the exam Exam tips, strategies, and techniques Homework and guided preparation Writing task correction (live) and feedback Monitored exam practice Introduction to timing and exam techniques Support in building confidence and improving exam performance all practice materials are provided in digital form included in the course

🇫🇷 Native French teacher (Lugano and surrounding area)Translate this text using Google Translate.

Hello ! French is my native language, and I would be delighted to teach it to you. With extensive teaching experience at all levels, I have achieved excellent results in this subject (Lycée Louis-le-Grand in Paris, preparatory classes for the Grandes Écoles, specializing in literature). Patient and possessing excellent teaching skills, my training stems from both my Master's degree in Cognitive Science (which taught me how to learn) and my Master's degree in Philosophy (which taught me to empathize and build upon others' understanding rather than imposing a rigid, dogmatic discourse). If you are interested in my ad, please feel free to contact me. COURSES OFFERED BY LEVEL: • Children (Primary School): Development of authentic pronunciation. The approach by a native speaker guarantees the acquisition of correct phonetics. • Middle school: Intensive reinforcement of grammar and syntax. Acquisition of a solid foundation. • High schools and universities: Excellence in French literature and philosophy. Instruction in complex academic exercises (essays, text commentaries) and advanced rhetorical analysis. • Linguistic advantage: Mastery of Italian and Latin allows us to explain French from a comparative perspective, thus facilitating the understanding of linguistic structures for Italian-speaking students. • Teaching method: Training in cognitive science applied to learning. Optimization of cognitive processes to develop student autonomy. • Practical information: • Target audience: Children, teenagers, students and adults eager to learn. Exam preparation and academic support. • Location: At home (Canobbio, Massagno, Viganello, Lugano Centre) or at the library (USI/Cantonale). Travel by bicycle or bus.

“ I don’t usually write such long reviews, but I really hope more students get the chance to get to know Lucía!! From the very first lesson, I knew Lucía was not just another language teacher!!! she is truly exceptional!!! I have known her for several years, and I can confidently say she is not only an outstanding educator, but also a genuinely wonderful person. If you ever have the opportunity to learn with Lucía, don’t hesitate!! You will not regret it!! I have had many Spanish teachers, but she is truly one of a kind. Her passion, professionalism, and constant pursuit of growth make her stand out in a way that is rare to find. She is incredibly kind, patient, and supportive, creating a learning environment where I always feel comfortable and motivated to improve. Thanks to her guidance, I have made tremendous progress in my Spanish. I was able to pass my school exams and achieve the B2 leven in almost record time, gain admission to a university in Spain, and I am now preparing for the C1 exam, something that would not have been possible without her support. I have also started learning Korean with her, a language that used to intimidate me. Now I genuinely enjoy speaking with her and learning new things. She has an impressive knowledge of the culture, which makes the classes even more interesting. Her classes are always dynamic, engaging, and thoughtfully structured. She has a fascinating background and a unique ability to explain even complex topics in a clear and simple way. What truly sets her apart is her dedication: she provides extra materials, tailors every lesson to my needs, and gives detailed, personalized feedback even outside of class hours. She creates customized materials to target my specific weaknesses, which has made a huge difference in my progress. Her commitment goes far beyond what is expected and really shows how much she cares about her students’ success. Muchas gracias por todo Lucía! Nos vemos en clase ❤️ ”

“ My daughter had her first lesson and she is very happy with Nouhaila. Excellent teacher. From the first moment a pleasant contact and clear answers to all my questions. Nouhaila thinks along well about the objectives to be achieved taking into account the age of my daughter. (16). A warm person. My daughter is enthusiastic and really enjoyed the first lesson. Serious (to use the hour well and completely) with an occasional joke. It is also nice that the lessons can continue during the summer holidays. We are happy that we found Nouhaila My daughter had her first lesson and she is very happy with Nouhaila. Excellent teacher.

“ The current ratings and reviews speak for themselves. Most are 5-star reviews, with a few 4-star reviews and none at a lower rating. She is an amazing teacher with more than a decade of experience. Who truly knows how to tailor a programme to each individual student. In 3 weeks, I've grown from knowing close to no grammar to being able to form proper sentences for everyday use. One aspect I value a lot about her way of teaching is that we apply the grammar not only to every-day situations but also to topics that tailor to my personal life circumstances. I have been convinced that, with the help of Marina, I will be able to grow my Mandarin skills exponentially over the next few months. ”
