About Me
My name is Richard and I have been teaching for 30 years first to University students and then when my own children went to school here in Shanghai I started to teach Middle School and Primary School - so I have a good range and understanding of different methods to teach different levels of students.I can teach you to gain the confidence you need to improve your own English. If you are struggling then I can help you get over that plateau and get to the next level. If you are a diligent student and want to achieve the best then I can help you.
Education
I have a Masters degree in Applied Linguistics from Leicester University, UK and a Bachelors degree in Business Studies from the Open University in the UK. I also have my PGCE Diploma from Nottingham University in the UK, too!Experience / Qualifications
I have been teaching since 1987. First to University level students for 20 years, then through to Middle School level students; and now at Grade 3 in primary school.Do you want to reach the best level of your English ability? Is school just not working for you? Then you need your own private tutor. I will not only help you in your English ability but in your confidence level so you will feel better able to control your own results and destiny.

German course for adults and teens! (All skill levels)
I am a German native speaker and general language enthusiast. Besides German, I speak English, Swedish, Spanish, French and Italian. Having learned 6 languages myself, I am 100% convinced that I will successfully teach you German(in a fun and relaxed manner)! Therefore, I offer a money-back guarantee: Should you not be satisfied with the results of a course with me, I will reimburse you!
I have been teaching since 2018 and am currently one of the most-reviewed teachers on this platform. I encourage you to pause here and have a look at my reviews. I am confident that you too will have a similar view after having had some classes with me. On top of teaching here on Apprentus, I have taught offline group classes for the Volksuniversiteit The Hague (A Volksuniversiteit (litt. folk university) is an institute for non-formal adult education in the Netherlands). I also taught for and underwent training with Berlitz, which is one of, if not THE largest language school in the world, operating in over 70 countries and 500+ locations.
I am 33 years old, have an honours degree from Leiden University, The Hague, am calm, encouraging, and, most importantly, PATIENT. My main objective in classes is to make the student feel relaxed and at ease. I encourage you to speak without fear of making mistakes. In fact, I celebrate making mistakes. "Why?", you may ask. Well, making mistakes means that you are leaving your comfort zone. You are trying something that you are not already skilled at. You don't choose the easy path! People who never make mistakes are stagnant. Therefore, making mistakes should be CELEBRATED instead of shunned! So, good on you for mispronouncing "Nachmittag (Afternoon)", or using the wrong grammar when making a sentence! Here, let me help you get it right this time! :)
Do you already have German knowledge? No problem! Instead of building the basics, we can design classes that meet your personal needs and preferences. We can write essays together, you can hold presentations about topics of your interests or topics that I provide, we can discuss current events, hold debates, you can write news-paper article summaries, or we deep dive into advanced grammar. Whatever it is that you enjoy and need: We can do it together.
All my classes combine speaking, listening & grammar exercises in interaction with me. Unless you're a very advanced student, we will work with learning materials created by some of the best publishers for language learning in Germany. These materials serve as a red thread for our course that introduces new words, grammar, and exercises in a good pace and interesting manner which keeps you engaged and motivated. Furthermore, I show you German food, music and places. On top of that, I introduce you to the best technological tools (homepages and applications) to boost your language learning and take it to the next level!
Another important factor for me is having a personal connection. Unless you prefer to "stick to business", which is fine as well, we typically start our classes by talking about how the weekend or preceding weekdays have been. I don't see my students as a resource to be extracted, but as people for whom I develop a genuine interest. Over the course of time, we both know what is going on in our respective lives and update each other about small or big life events. Having taught many students for multiple years, I can gladly say that I have made real friends thanks to our classes, some of which I even have met in real life.
I am extremely confident that you very soon will have the same success that I have had in learning languages!
So what are you waiting for? Get in touch now to book a first lesson in which we can get to know each other so that I can learn about you, your needs and wishes, which will allow us to design the optimal course for you.
See you soon!
Bis bald!

Lila
Licensed ESL tutor with over 4 years of experience. Passionate, CELTA and TEFL Young Learners Certified
I specialize in tutoring ESL lessons. I put emphasis on speaking and listening through spontaneous oral talks, questions, and small dialogues that will improve the learners' speaking and listening skills. What is more, I provide guidance on correct pronunciation and sentence structure to help students construct complete and accurate sentences. Another beneficial approach I employ is the integration of visual aids such as photos, videos, and real-life objects (realia) into my lessons. These aids are used to activate students' prior knowledge and encourage discussion. With my guidance, students can improve their writing, pronunciation, speaking, and listening skills and be well-prepared for CEFR level exams (A1-C2). At the end of the lesson, I will provide them with homework to get further practice and be fully prepared for the next time. In addition, I specialize in nurturing young minds through engaging and effective learning experiences.

Grace
Native English teacher and enthousiaste from London
I give my lessons in English. However, If I have a student that speaks French then I speak in French, but only to clarify an explanation that could be difficult to understand in English. I give lessons at my students' home or online. When I give lessons at my students home, I give copies of guides to work with and exercise sheets to put in practice what we learn during the lesson, and when I give lessons online, I prepare an interactive PowerPoint, also composed of guides and exercises, and at the end of each lesson, I send the PowerPoint to my students by email. I try to include in a one-hour lesson, reading, writing and speaking exercises, and as for the comprehension part, the students naturally acquire this skill through the lesson as I mostly speak in English.
For who has a specific goal to reach, I can improvise. Are you preparing for your next English exam or are you planning to travel to an English-speaking country and want to feel comfortable speaking with locals? I can help.
