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 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.

About Me

Hi, I'm Margie! I've been a certified ESOL teacher and tutor since 2018. Before deciding to work independently online, I taught in both traditional school settings and the private sector.
I teach English for individuals living/working in international environments where English is required, and exam preparation (TOEFL, IELTS). I have a friendly, relaxed style in my lessons, where learners can feel comfortable speaking and asking questions.
My professional interests include etymology, medical English and language acquisition theory. Outside of work I love learning new creative hobbies and listening to music.
Like a lot of English tutors, I love to travel. I've lived in several countries and am always planning my next destination for short and long term stays.

Education

My formal qualifications include a TEFL and a BA in Political Science. I hold certificates in IELTS and TOEFL preparation and am currently working on attaining OET preparation credentials.

Experience / Qualifications

I've worked as an English teacher and tutor since 2018 and genuinely enjoy helping people reach their goals with the language.
Standardized tests such as the TOEFL and IELTS put a lot of pressure on candidates, but I have good news! With strong foundational skills and smart test taking strategies, you can boost your score (and your confidence!) The way I approach TOEFL/IELTS preparation lessons depends on: -How much time you can commit to preparation before taking the exam -Which section or sections give you the most difficulty -Your current level and your desired score range -Your motivation for taking the test After a short assessment, we'll practice (some relaxed, some timed) using both short and long versions of past exam questions. I'll teach you to recognize and use the skill sets that apply to each section and learn how they intersect. This way, you'll gain a clearer understanding of how the exam works, lower your test anxiety, and feel more confident on your exam day. I've been helping students and professionals make these exams more manageable since 2019. My lessons are highly personalized and include written feedback and reference material for you to review and study in and out of class.

Majda
✨French teacher - Pass the DELF or DALF (French diploma) - Individual or group session. ✨
Hello, I am Majda, French language teacher. I have been giving private lessons online since 2018. I offer special sessions that meet your needs and objectives to successfully complete your DELF (Diplôme d'Etudes en Langue Française) or DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language), including the TCF (French Knowledge Test). I have been supporting many interested people of different nationalities thanks to online courses since 2018; For me, helping enthusiasts to practice the French language is a very good experience because I understand that success is a capital objective in the life of ambitious people. I speak Arabic, French, Spanish, and also English. I explain my lessons in the language of your choice. And at the end of each session, I give lessons with exercises to do as homework to examine your gaps and monitor your progress. Here are some things to know about the DELF and DALF: The DELF (Diploma of Studies in French Language) and the DALF (Advanced Diploma in French Language) are two official and quality diplomas. They are harmonized on the levels of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages. They include the following six levels, in ascending order: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. These two diplomas are suitable for all ages and all audiences. In addition, the DELF B2, and increasingly the DALF C1, allow students to enter French, European or French-speaking universities, and certain Grandes Ecoles. Will you have DELF or DALF exams to pass? Do you need to follow specific sessions with me to improve your level? Don't hesitate to book your sessions so that we can start the preparation. I am available !

That is of course also possible! Let me know what level you are at now and what you would like to learn. I would love to challenge you, but make sure it is always fun and that you don't have too much at once. The prices stated are for a lesson for 1 person.
