Private Portuguese and English classes for individuals and companies

From 24 € /h

Hello! I'm Mafalda, a native Portuguese speaker. I've been teaching private Portuguese and English lessons to foreigners since 2010, at any level, for individuals and businesses. I also offer preparation for official Portuguese exams from the Camões Institute (from CIPLE to DUPLE) and English (GESE, IELTS, KET, PET, FCE, etc.) using language immersion techniques, CLIL methodology, audiolingual training, communicative and direct approaches, RFT, etc., always tailored to the specific needs of students' personal development, well-being, and learning.

Conversation classes (oral expression and comprehension): to gain fluency and improve your pronunciation, from beginner to advanced levels.

Grammar, vocabulary, written expression, and comprehension classes, from beginner to advanced levels.

I have experience teaching foreign languages in various educational and cultural contexts. I have worked in language schools, where I have taught classes to students of different levels, ages, and backgrounds, always adapting the content to their specific goals and needs. I have also participated in development cooperation programs such as the European Voluntary Service, offering language classes in international community projects. I have also worked independently, designing and teaching customized courses, both in-person and online.

I am meticulous, attentive, curious, and very patient, advocating a dynamic approach to language teaching with functionalist elements. I love art, film, and music, and I often integrate these elements into my classes as tools to enrich learning and spark interest in language and culture. My approach is communicative, practical, and focused on each student, with special attention to the development of oral expression and the cultural dimension of the language.

My academic background has provided me with knowledge in various areas of the Social Sciences (Philosophy, Education, Sociology, Law, etc.). I am a PhD candidate in Political Philosophy. I hold a Master's degree in Gender Equality and International Relations, and a Bachelor's degree in Political Science (University of Lisbon). I hold certificates from IELTS, Trinity College, Cambridge, and from studies at the British Council and Bath Academy.

Tell me a little more about what you're looking for, and don't hesitate to write to me if you have any questions or concerns. I'd be happy to help.

I'm a Spanish teacher with over 20 years of experience in education, and my goal has always been clear: to help students learn the language in a practical, natural, and meaningful way.

My teaching approach is centered around real-life situations, with a strong focus on speaking and oral expression. I use a modern, engaging, and student-friendly method that encourages communication from day one.

I truly believe that learning a language is not just about memorizing rules—it's about living it, using it, and enjoying the journey.

I’m passionate about guiding each student along their path and providing them with the tools they need to feel confident using Spanish in real contexts.

✔️ 13 years IELTS teaching experience
✔️ Cambridge-qualified teacher
✔️ Customised lessons just for you
✔️ Real test materials only — no basic textbooks

❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only.

I’ve helped more than 100 students get 6 and above. Are you taking the IELTS test for university? Do you need IELTS for a job application? I would love to help you! I am a total IELTS nerd — I have been teaching it for 13 years, I have taken the test myself and I have created my own expert study guidebooks, which I am happy to share with you. I can answer any of your questions about IELTS and help you get the score you need. Let's go! 💪

⭐Prepare for the IELTS test with an experienced, friendly and professional native English teacher

TEACHING STYLE:

Although I take the IELTS test seriously, and I want you to as well, my classes are also light-hearted and warm. People learn best when they’re enjoying themselves and feeling deeply interested, and that is my promise to you. I will correct your mistakes, but I will never shame or embarrass you for making them. My class is a place where people come to learn fast and grow in confidence.

⭐Focus on the skills you need. Choose one, two or three test skills or focus on them all.

My classes are focused completely on test skills. You will learn how to answer questions much faster with me.

👂 LISTENING: The IELTS listening test is full of DISTRACTIONS. It is designed to make you not sure about the answer. Usually, there is not just one simple answer, but there are two or three possible answers, and only one is completely correct. I will teach you to pay attention to the correct keywords and reject the distractions. SPELLING is also very important for this test. English spelling is complicated, but there are rules and patterns that I will teach you.

📚 READING: I will teach you how to increase your reading SPEED, quickly find key information and reject distractions. You will learn how to answer all question types including multiple choice, matching information, true/false/not given, filling in blanks, and labelling diagrams.

🖊️ WRITING: You will learn about all the Task 1 question types including graphs, charts, maps and diagrams, plus all the Task 2 essay types. My COMPLETE IELTS WRITING GUIDE will give you all of the sentence patterns and structures you need to answer any question type. Even if you don't normally write well, you will be PREPARED for the test. I will also teach you to write QUICKLY, as it is essential to finish both tasks and reach the minimum number of words within one hour.

👄 SPEAKING: I will help you answer FLUENTLY and CLEARLY without hesitation in Part 1, make short speeches in Part 2, and give long and confident answers to all types of difficult questions in Part 3. I will help you with improve your fluency, pronunciation and confidence.

💬 I'm Tom, and I've been teaching English since 2013. Originally I'm from the south of England, and I've been happily living in The Hague, Netherlands since 2021. Before this I lived in Finland, Taiwan and mainland China. I speak a bunch of languages besides English, like Mandarin, Finnish, some French, and a little Japanese. When I'm not teaching, I'm working on my Dutch!

I have a double master's degree in English and Applied Linguistics, and my research focus was how to teach English pronunciation and speaking skills. I won't let you down. 🫡

❗ 45-minute lessons are via Zoom only.

My name is Fawzi, and I am a French language teacher. Since 2012, I have been giving private lessons online. My objective is to support learners towards success in the DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) or the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), as well as the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have had the pleasure of helping many students of different nationalities through my online courses. For me, helping enthusiasts practice the French language is an enriching experience, because I understand the importance of success in the lives of ambitious people.

I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, a little English and a little Turkish. During my classes, I explain concepts in French, Arabic or Spanish, depending on your preference. At the end of each session, I offer exercises to do as homework, in order to identify your gaps and monitor your progress.

Here are some essential points to know about the DELF and DALF:
- The DELF (Diploma in French Language Studies) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two high-quality official diplomas. They are aligned with the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages and cover the following six levels, from the most basic to the most advanced: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences.
- The DELF B2 and, increasingly, the DALF C1, provide access to French, European or French-speaking universities, as well as certain Grandes Ecoles.

If you plan to take DELF or DALF exams, or if you want to improve your level, do not hesitate to book your sessions with me to start preparation. I am available !

My goal is to restore confidence, explain things differently when necessary, and turn challenges into real successes. I primarily prepare students for the CE1D exam. First, we work together on each skill assessed during this test. Then, I guide the student through the practice of all these skills so they can approach the exam in its entirety with confidence and method.
Regarding the price, if you have financial difficulties, do not hesitate to inform me, we will find a solution. Money has never been a problem for me, the main thing is that your child improves his level and passes his exams.
